Rest easier with hotel credit card processing made for you | Worldpay

WORLDPAY EDITORIAL TEAM

July 10, 2019

Running a hotel is busy business. You expect staff to deliver customer experiences that delight guests. You should expect nothing less from your payment processing with a hotel merchant account designed to deliver efficient, safe, and welcoming payments processing experiences.

Your staff works hard to deliver the great service that your customers demand. Your payments processing should work just as hard for them, your guests and your vendors too. 50 years’ experience in helping service industry leaders deliver on the demands of processing everyday payments is yours with Worldpay. From technology-rich terminals to the robust POS systems for hospitality, we know how to deliver for your hotel operation.

Streamline the operational tasks of your hotel to make everyone’s stay easier.

The right partner for your hotel merchant account can help you save time on operational tasks and money as well. Your payment processing should be as smooth and fresh as clean linens. For example, with a POS solution built expressly for hotels you can usually:

  • Quickly access your complete reservation log, as well as view individual guest’s reservation history at your hotel—without having to fumble through paper records
  • Track and manage inventory for your hotel, including the supplies for your office, restaurant, snack bar, housekeeping, and more
  • Pull reporting that details peak reservation times at your hotel, as well as data on which associates are booking the most reservations

Consider how your guests would like to pay at checkout time.

When you’re deciding among your merchant processing options—from terminals to fully-integrated POS systems think about your guests’ needs. Choosing a hotel POS system that accepts mobile payments may be a great way to attract new, young guests, as well as keep your current clientele happy.

Decrease risk from fraud and data compromise.

Protecting your guests and your receipts from the risks of data compromise and fraud are as big a business as running the hotel itself. Certain high dollar-amount transactions—especially when booked far in advance or for a large block of rooms—are known to carry a high risk of chargeback. Choose a partner for your hotel merchant account who understands the day-to-day life of a hotel, and can help you reduce your risk of losing profits to disputed transactions. Wrap the hotel in a security blanket designed to protect you and your customers from data theft and fraudulent transactions of all sorts.

Built-in payments processing simplifies the management of your hotel.

When you partner with Worldpay for your hotel credit card processing, you won’t have any surprises and often no extra software to buy. In fact, our payment processing is already built into today’s most popular POS systems for the hospitality industry. From day one of processing with us, we will strive to provide your hotel with super quick transactions, fast funding to your deposit account of choice, and custom transaction reporting.

When you choose us for your hotel merchant account, we will also aim to provide:

  • Reliable, protected debit and credit card processing
