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.

Frictionless experiences
Automated check-in and check-out processes enhance convenience, allowing guests to use their mobile phones as room keys. They can also settle folios remotely through an e-commerce portal, while the PMS integration ensures that payments are fully processed and logged, providing a seamless and efficient experience.

Boost efficiency across all hospitality operations
When we first discovered the solution from Global Blue and Nexi, it aligned so well with our goals, that we decided to launch a pilot for the project. Our key priorities were to automate processes to minimize disputes and chargebacks, save time in back-office tasks, and reduce manual entry errors during reconciliation. After a successful initial deployment at our UNAHOTELS Cusani in Milan, we expanded it to 35 of our hotels.
