Processing payments with online processors

Online Payment Processing 
It’s no secret to self-catering accommodation providers that online payment facilities come with a range of benefits: it’s a quick and easy way to process payments and reduces the risk of guest cancellation. 

SuperControl integrates seamlessly with several leading online payment processors, making the switch to taking online payments super simple. 

The benefits of taking online payments.
The days of using a card terminal are limited with guests increasingly expecting to pay online. Unlike traditional payment methods, if you use an online payment processor:  

  • Guest data is protected, and you are absolved from the security responsibilities involved with card handling.
  • Instant online payment means guests are less likely to cancel their booking.
  • Guests have the security of paying by card at a time that suits them.
  • It saves you time as there’s no need for you to contact guests for their card details.
  • With an online processor, PCI compliance also becomes much easier for you because SuperControl is PCI Level 1 Compliant. You get to fill in the easy version of the PCI form!
  • SuperControl supports all currencies (one per account). 

What’s more, online payment processors also work with our automated guest communications (email and SMS) so that you can automatically generate balance reminders for guests who haven’t yet paid, saving you even more valuable time. 

Which payment processor is right for you?
SuperControl is fully integrated with HolidayRentPayment and OPayo. Fully integrated means you can process deposits, payments and refunds via a booking in SuperControl. 

The table below summarises the features of the leading processors we integrate with: 

How does it work?
If you integrate with HolidayRentPayment or Opayo, guests can enter their card details directly into the booking form rather than being directed to a third-party payment page. 

You can enter card payments taken over the phone and process balance payments using the same card without having to contact your guest again. With HolidayRentPayment and Opayo, you can also automatically hold and release pre-authorised security deposits.
