Skift Take

The pandemic accelerated the shift to digital and alternative payments. To capitalize on this, hoteliers should modernize their payment tech stack to offer seamless integration and diverse payment options for increased bookings, higher-value reservations, and improved guest satisfaction.

Report Overview

The pandemic has expedited the transition towards digital and alternative payment methods. As non-cash transaction volumes are projected to surge to $2.3 trillion by 2027, it has become essential for hoteliers to embrace a variety of payment options to enhance guest satisfaction. To harness these evolving trends, hoteliers should consider adopting modern fintech systems and establishing partnerships with leading payment processors.

Payment processing solutions and point-of-sale (POS) can help hotels streamline transactions. Beyond payment processing capabilities, they also provide additional capabilities, such as business intelligence, financial reporting, and fraud management.

Payment technology should no longer be looked upon as just an enabler but more of a revenue opportunity for hoteliers. Seamless integration and offering multiple payment choices can lead to an increase in direct bookings, high-value reservations, and, overall, greater guest satisfaction.
