The payment collection process can be one of the most painful parts of any short term rental operation. This especially applies to hotel platforms such as Booking.com, Expedia, and Hotels.com. These platforms have opened themselves up to short term rental providers and have allowed them to take advantage of some of the most powerful online marketing distribution networks in the world. The problem is their platform infrastructure is still built around major hotel chains that collect payment in person at the time of check in / check out. As a short term rental provider, you need reliable payment gateways, strong credit card verification systems, fraud prevention training specific to each marketing platform, and the ability to contact and communicate with guests from all countries. We’ve spent years perfecting our payment collection process to allow our clients to take advantage of all of the major marketing platforms without having to deal with any of the administrative headaches.
