b4checkin and Jonas Chorum Join Forces to Streamline Hotel Payment Processing

Enhancing Hotel Payment Processes

In a significant advancement for the hospitality sector, b4checkin, known for its innovative guest reservation and payment technologies, has unveiled a new integration with Jonas Chorum’s Property Management System (PMS). This collaboration aims to streamline payment requests for hotels, ensuring a more secure and efficient process.

Transforming Payment Security

The new integration, which connects b4checkin's TransForm solution with the Jonas Chorum PMS, empowers hoteliers to manage guest payment details directly from the PMS. This addresses a critical need for hotels looking to modernize their payment collection mechanisms amidst evolving industry demands. Steve Miles, President of b4checkin, noted, “In times when hotels are under pressure to mitigate risks and enhance operational efficiency, this integration provides a tangible solution.”

Notably, TransForm securely retrieves essential guest details directly from the Jonas Chorum PMS. This functionality ensures that payment requests are sent accurately to the intended guest—eliminating errors and fostering trust. Guests can complete their transactions through b4checkin’s secure portal, which tokenizes and retains credit card information in the PMS. This method not only strengthens security but also allows hotels to process future charges without needing to gather payment info again, thereby optimizing their workflows.

A Breakthrough for Operational Efficiency

Adam Wilson, General Manager at Jonas Chorum, emphasized the benefits of this integration: “Payment security and operational efficiency go hand in hand. Our PMS users will now have a contemporary, secure method of collecting payment details while maintaining connectivity across all reservations and payment activities.”

The integration offers several key benefits for hotels:

1. Streamlined Payment Requests: Hoteliers can now send secure deposit requests for individual or group bookings quickly.
2. Secure Card Collection: The system collected details for card-not-present transactions, allowing for flexibility and safety.
3. Flexible Deposit Plans: It supports both single payments and installment options, catering to a variety of guest needs.
4. PCI Compliance: Tokenized card storage within the PMS ensures that transactions meet PCI standards, reducing liability for hotels.
5. Enhanced Fraud Protection: With improved eCommerce processing, hotels face reduced risks of fraud and chargebacks.
6. Less Manual Input: Staff can enjoy decreased manual follow-ups and reduced payment errors, freeing them to focus on delivering excellent guest experiences.
