Modern guests' payment preferences have changed, so hotel payment systems must address the new guests'preferences. The payment processing systems for hotels may integrate modern payment solutions like a digital wallet, pay by link, virtual cards and contactless cards, among others, plus they should allow guests to pay in any currency.
Any future payment solution must integrate with existing software that manages business operations, (i.e., Internet Booking Engine (IBE), Channel Manager, EPoS, Property Management System (PMS), and so on) to aid in payment processing, saving staff time, making sure guest experience is smooth and that no revenue is missed.
Moreover, the right hotel payments solution offers transparent rates for all transactions, Interchange, Scheme and Acquirer fees (IC++), and fast access to funds so that the hotel's cash flow is not affected by any hidden fees.
The payment gateway must be reliable, trustworthy, and safe for both customers and the hotel. Compliance and security are essential for any modern business – and hoteliers must choose a hotel payments processing provider that prevents chargebacks, easily manage refunds and adheres to current business standards like the Second Payment Services Directive (PSD2), Payment Card Industry (PCI) security, General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and Point to Point Encryption (P2PE).
It is important to select a solution that's future-proof and constantly being updated to meet the needs to today's guest and that is there when you need the most – from seamless onboarding to prompt support.
The "Top criteria to consider in post-COVID-19 hotel payments processing" eBook details all the essential information you must know before choosing a new payment processing solution or upgrading an existing one. The pros and cons of opting for an end-to-end integrated payment solution are clearly highlighted to help you make an informed decision that will benefit your business in the long-term.
