Customers using the Voyager CRS, and the Voyager Internet booking functionality to power their website, can now offer secure online credit card payments. This solution will assist with the growing demand for real-time credit card checks and by providing the option to accept pre-payment, will reduce the risk of reservations not being utilised.
Richard Wiegmann, Chief Operating Officer of TRUST.WIZCOM said, “There is great potential for our hotel customers to benefit from reservations made on the Internet, but there are also risks associated with online payments. With the Wirecard payment services now available through the Voyager CRS our hotel clients can be confident that a credit card payment or reservation is secure and valid, and that ultimately this service provides a real benefit to their hotel guests wishing to book over the internet.”
“For a hotel chain in particular, our system has the advantage that the global payment flows of the individual hotels can be consolidated and analyzed in real-time”, explains Jörg Möller, Vice-President Sales of Wirecard AG. “This makes it possible, for example, to evaluate marketing campaigns in a targeted fashion and to identify customer needs at a very early stage.”
