Enhance your efficiency with the Virtual Credit Card Automation!
Say goodbye to spending up to 3 hours a day processing payments manually and eliminate the risk of human errors and delays!
As online travel agencies (OTAs) increasingly adopt Virtual Credit Cards (VCCs) for payment transfers to hotels, it brings along the advantage of reducing chargebacks. However, hotels face several challenges with this method due to the manual process this introduces.
Challenges of processing VCCs manually:
Human Error: Frustration of cards not being charged, or incorrect values applied, potentially impacting your cash-flow.
Effective Date Constraints: Cards are chargeable only on specific dates, making it difficult in some cases to capture the card successfully.
Resource Drain: Monitoring, finding, and processing bookings uses valuable team resources. Staff should be delighting guests, not tied to a computer.
The Solution:
Exclusively available for all GuestPay customers on Booking.com and Expedia.
Automation: Experience a seamless process with zero human interaction required. In the rare event of a card failure, the system will make attempts to rectify the issue and promptly report back to users if any action is required.
Integration: Automating charges is just one aspect; the system intelligently recognises when VCCs are in use. This not only enhances the overall guest experience but also facilitates self-service features like GuestStay Kiosk.
Upgrade your payment processing system and embrace a new era of efficiency with OTA Virtual Credit Card Automation!
Contact-free pre-arrival payments
Share secure and trustworthy payment links directly with your guests.
Fully integrated with Guestline PMS, GuestPay automatically generates a Dynamic PayLink which enables hoteliers to:
- Send guests a secure & branded payment link to complete the pre-payment for their stay pre-arrival.
- Securely process, tokenise and store payment details in Guestline PMS
- Keep track of payment statuses and relay reminders directly from Guestline PMS
Hotels that need a more configurable solution can use Custom Paylink which enables them to:
- Set the custom due date
- Set the amount which will be charged to the guest
- Select how they’re going to distribute the link - individual email or PMS confirmation template
