Payment Infrastructure for Hotel & Hospitality Platforms
For Hotel Booking
Hotel booking platforms need pre-authorisation, multi-currency support, a gateway per hotel or chain, and phone-based reservations. Shuttle gives you one payment layer for the booking lifecycle.
Trusted by leading companies
The Problem
Hotel booking platforms operate globally but pay locally.
Regional PSP mandates, phone-based reservations, multi-currency requirements, and multi-step flows from pre-authorisation to final payment make hospitality payments uniquely challenging.
Why Hotel Platforms Struggle with Payments
Pain Points
Regional PSP Mandates
Hotels in different countries often use local payment processors. Managing a separate PSP integration for each one is unsustainable.
Phone Reservation Payments
Guests still book by phone, especially for group bookings, corporate travel, and premium properties. Capturing payments securely over the phone means PCI scope for your agents.
Complex Payment Flows
Pre-authorisation at booking, deposit capture, final payment at checkout, and potential refunds: hotel payments are multi-step flows that most payment solutions handle poorly.
One Layer for the Full Booking Lifecycle
The Shuttle Solution
Multi-PSP Support
Each hotel or chain can run on its own gateway, from 40+ supported gateways, through one integration.
Voice Payments
PCI-compliant voice checkout for phone reservations. Agents capture booking payments securely without card data touching your systems.
Payment Links & Embedded
Send branded payment links for booking confirmations and deposits. Embed checkout into your booking engine for online reservations.
Why Hospitality Chooses Shuttle
Benefits
A Gateway per Property
Each hotel, chain or business entity is configured against its own gateway, with no property-specific integration work.
Phone Booking Payments
Reservations agents capture deposits and pre-authorisations over the phone securely. Card data never touches your booking platform.
Currencies and Payment Methods
Take payments in the currencies your gateways support. Each payment method can go to its own gateway, for example cards through Stripe, ACH through Authorize.net and direct debit through GoCardless.
Flexible Payment Flows
Pre-auth, deposit, final capture and partial refund: Shuttle supports the hotel payment lifecycle through one integration.
Limited PCI Scope
Card data never touches your booking platform. Shuttle maintains PCI DSS Level 1 certification, and cards are tokenised with your gateway.
White-Label Experience
Branded checkout for each hotel or chain. Guests see the property's brand at every payment touchpoint.
