Key Benefits of Our Payment Gateway

Time Efficiency Improvements

Automating transaction inputs into the Property Management System (PMS) streamlines processes by removing the need for manual entry and duplication of tasks, such as re-entering card details. This not only saves time for the Front of House team but also reduces the risk of errors, ensuring transactions are accurate and reliable.

PCI Compliance

Card data is securely stored by Global Blue, ensuring a high level of protection. A token is generated when needed to transfer data into the Property Management System (PMS), which enhances security and significantly reduces the scope of PCI compliance. As a result, card data is no longer stored within the PMS or hotel, mitigating the risk of fines and compliance breaches.

Card on file

Hotels continue to retain guests' card data on file, enabling efficient payment processing for any additional charges. This eliminates the need for repeated in-person transactions, streamlining billing for incidentals and late adjustments. Additionally, it provides protection against negative cash flow and financial risk by ensuring prompt and reliable payment collection.

Data analysis

Payments are funneled into the PMS in real-time offering deeper insights into guest behavior and purchasing habits. These insights enable hotels to tailor bespoke packages based on a clear understanding of what guests are paying for, enhancing personalization and revenue opportunities.
