Description
You became a hotelier to provide guests with an unforgettable experience, not to waste time typing credit card info or manually processing payments. We get it, managing payments from online travel agencies and chasing prepayments can be a hassle.
At Smarthotel, we believe your time and energy are better spent on what truly matters. That’s why we created Smart Payments: a fast, secure, and fully automated payment solution.

We can also ensure the page matches your website’s design for a cohesive experience.
If a guest calls or emails expressing interest in a stay, you can easily send them a payment link, directing them to our payment page with various options.
Handle Prepayments with Ease
Requesting prepayments can be a hassle. Managing emails, tracking who has paid, and sending reminders. With Smart Payments, prepayment emails are automatically sent based on your policy (IATA and rate code). This automation works even with third-party booking engines or guest bookings from any source (e.g., OTA or direct). Once the guest’s info is in the PMS, the system sends the payment link automatically.
