Payments for hotels, motels and rentals.

Hotels, motels, inns and short-term rentals need to hold cards at check-in, take deposits for future stays and settle incidentals at checkout.

Hotels, motels and short-term rentals

What hotels, motels and short-term rentals need from payments

Lodging payments work differently from most businesses. You may take a deposit weeks before a stay, place a hold at check-in, add charges for incidentals and settle the final amount at checkout.

We set up front desk terminals that handle holds and final charges, payment links for deposits and group bookings, and invoicing for business accounts. Then we go over your current statement so you can see what each stay costs you to process.

FAQ

Common questions

Can we place a hold on a card at check-in?

Does this connect to our property management system?
