Braintree Payments
Throught the integration of hoteliga booking engine with Braintree, we offer you a secure way to obtain customer's credit cards and pre-authorize or charge them at a later stage.
In the accommodation sector it is very typical that a customer will make a booking today and stay at a property 6 months later or more. As a hotelier, you will possibly need to pre-authorize the credit card a few days prior to arrival to verify once again the validity of the card, or even charge the card in the event of no show, or when a non-refundable reservation is cancelled.
Based on the booking engine setup, the customers may have to enter their credit card information to guarantee a reservation. During this process, their credit card is also verified by performing a $0 or $1 transaction, which is automatically voided. In this away you avoid the hassle of verifying a credit card yourself manually.
Credit card information is directly stored and encrypted in this certified payment processor right at the booking stage. You can access a secure page where you can pre-authorize or charge a credit card of a customer, based on the terms and conditions that were agreed during booking.
For security reasons you won't be able to get the full credit card number. But when you can verify, pre-authorize and charge a credit card without having its number.
Braintree only charges you a commission when you charge a specific card.
