Payments tuned for bed & breakfasts
Bed & Breakfasts merchants feel margin pressure when fees and holds do not match how the business really runs. Day to day, bookings, deposits, and on-site.
Bed & Breakfasts merchants feel margin pressure when fees and holds do not match how the business really runs. Day to day, bookings, deposits, and on-site payment on one clean account. We see statements go sideways when fraud and chargebacks on card-not-present orders stacks with rigid contracts that punish you in the slow season. Gateway focuses on fraud & chargeback tools: protect card-not-present revenue with the right safeguards in place. Transparent interchange-plus and a specialist who answers.
