ONLINE SECURITY DEPOSIT COLLECTION INTEGRATED WITH PAYMENT GATEWAY

How does HostPass handle online security deposit collection with integrated payment gateways?

HostPass Online Security Deposit Collection & Payment Gateway Integration

HostPass streamlines the collection of online security deposits by integrating with secure payment gateways as part of its digital check-in process. Here’s how this functionality typically works:

How It Works

• Digital Request: During or after the guest’s online check-in, HostPass can prompt guests to pay a security deposit via a secure payment link or embedded payment form.
• Payment Gateway Integration: HostPass integrates with leading payment gateways (such as Stripe, PayPal, or similar providers), allowing guests to use credit/debit cards or digital wallets.
• Authorization & Collection: The platform can either authorize the deposit amount (placing a hold on the guest’s card) or collect the funds, depending on property policy.
• Automated Receipts & Records: Guests receive digital confirmation of payment, and all transactions are logged in the HostPass dashboard for easy tracking and compliance.

Security & Compliance

• PCI DSS Compliance: Integrated payment gateways are PCI DSS compliant, ensuring that cardholder data is protected according to industry standards.
• Data Encryption: All payment information is encrypted in transit and at rest, safeguarding sensitive guest data.
• Audit Trails: HostPass maintains detailed logs of all deposit transactions for audit and dispute resolution purposes.

Benefits

• Reduces manual handling of deposits at front desk
• Improves guest experience with a seamless, contactless process
• Minimizes risk of payment errors and chargebacks
• Facilitates faster refunds or releases after checkout

Note: The specific payment gateways supported and the exact workflow may vary depending on your HostPass configuration and region. For the latest details or to enable this feature, it’s recommended to consult your HostPass representative or official documentation.
