What are Hotel Payment Links?

What are Hotel Payment Links?
A happy guest paying by mobile at your hotel, like he does at home.

How many bookings are lost due to a clunky pay and book process for your guests?

Today hotels are still asking for a card number via a form, over the phone or via chat.

This puts both the guest and the hotel at risk for fraud.

Hotel payment links are a safe and secure way to capture a guest's payment or their card details for payment at the property.

Guests can book and pay with one click from their own device safely.

How to Generate a Hotel Payment Link?

Hotel Payment links can be generated directly from the Payment Gateway or supported PMSs and booking engines.

Pay Stay by Techie Stays generates payment links with one click as a stand-alone solution.

Hotels can generate payment links regardless of their PMS or Booking Engine.

Links can be emailed or sent via message directly to the guest.

Payment Links are PCI-compliant 3DS secure with added security such as 2-factor authentication.

They tokenize the guest payment details ensuring the payment details remain private.

The payment can be captured or saved for taking the payment upon or close to the guest's arrival.

Techie Says uses Link by Stripe which has the added advantage of remembering the guest payment details for future bookings or purchases.

Use Cases

  • Send the link via email or message.
  • Offer upsells with a payment after a guest's booking.
  • On property the guest can pay with one click for additional products or services. This removes the need for paper-based payment reconciliation and signatures.
  • Pre-authorise an amount in place of taking a guest deposit.
  • Receive payment for a deposit.
  • Remove the need for guests to email you to buy or book. Create online products guests can buy directly from your own website.
  • Close the loop on reconciliation. Give the guest and your finance team a digital receipt, saving hours on reconciliation.
