How Hotels Use Payment Links
Guest's Hate Signups, Love Booking Links for One-Click Pay

Hotel Payment Links are a secure way to take a guest booking from your website, email, chat or blog post. More on what are hotel booking links here.

Hotels Use Payment Links for:

1. Frictionless Loyalty

Forcing a guest to log into your website to make a booking is the best way to increase revenue for OTAs.

Signup overload: Let's face it, you can't be bothered signing up to another website. Why expect your guests?

Payment links strike the balance between one-click checkout while grabbing the guest email.

2. Website Direct Bookings

Gone are the days when guests were patient enough to type in a card.

Secure payment links offer guests their preferred payment methods via your hotel payment gateways, PMS or booking engine. 78% of your guests are ready to abandon their booking if their payment method is not available,

Wallets, such as Apple Pay verify the guest on their device, removing the pay and pray of 3DS secure.

Airbnb uses Link by Stripe as businesses are seeing a 14% increase in conversion rate. Link offers the guest their preferred payment method such as PrompPay, AliPay or Google Pay in addition to storing the card number previously used by the guests.

That's a one-click check for multiple guest nationalities.

Just want to capture the card for payment on arrival? No worries.

Your booking engine or PMS doesn't support links?

3. Bookings via Email, Chat, Social Media and Blog

You've caught the guest's attention via your content and just need them to finalise the booking.

Sending them to a website to ask for their email again is the fastest way to lose them.
