Buy Now - Pay Later Payment Method
Overview
This payment method is used when a hotel allows the guest to check out and pay for their stay via a payment provider that supports a "Pay Later" option. Similar to an accounts receivable (AR) invoice for companies, this method enables the guest to check out without fully paying for their stay at the time of departure. The payment provider (e.g., Klarna or Ratepay) assesses the guest's creditworthiness and handles the payment collection afterward.
We have developed a special feature to implement the "Buy Now - Pay Later" payment method for hotels that have activated it. This function allows your guests to pay for their stay after they have departed. Below is an outline of the process flow for this function:
Process Flow
- Click on "Payment Link" in the example, and the following options will be displayed:
- Select the payer's country and check the box if your hotel has activated the "Buy Now - Pay Later" function.
- Select the charges and click on Next.
- On the next screen, click on "Billing Address" to enter all the required data. Due to specific settings for this payment method, you must enter the house number in the "Address Line 2" field.
- Once completed, click Save, and you will be directed to the final screen to enter the payer's email and a description if needed. Enter the necessary data and click on Add Payment to create the payment link.
- After sending out the payment link, the payer can now choose one of the "Pay Later" payment methods (e.g., Pay Later with Klarna) that you have activated for your hotel.
