Payments Systems for Hotels

Accept credit card payments directly from your guests and customers. Instant World Booking offers a payment service for hotels that is unique among other global providers. Everything you need to begin accepting payments by credit card is right here. Collect payments from your customers for any travel related cost. Accept credit cards for hotel rooms, meals, activities, or any other travel or lodging service you provide.

IWB Payments - What is it?

IWB Payments is a credit card payment system that enables you to charge your customers directly. This service is separate from our online reservation service, and you can use IWB Payments to accept credit cards even if you don't always accept online reservations.

IWB Payments is a unique payment system offered only by Instant World Booking. It is unlike any service offered by competitors. How? You can accept credit card payments for any travel-related service, including rooms, meals, activities, etc. Charge customers up front as a deposit or as a final payment. Timing does not matter. For cancellations and no-shows (when your guest fails to arrive), you can now collect a cancellation fee according to your policy.

IWB Payments even allows you to charge your customers for reservations originating from other sources. Consider this: Even if a reservation was confirmed from another service, like HostelWorld or BedandBreakfast com, you can charge your guests here for the reservation and related travel costs. No other provider offers such convenience, which is so important to your guests.

Easier and Cheaper than Merchant Services

How IWB Payments works

There are 2 convenient ways to use our payment service, 1) IWB Reservation Payments and 2) Payment Virtual Terminal.

IWB Reservation Payments is for reservations already booked through Instant World Booking. Set up your property to automatically collect payments for IWB reservations. Collect final payments and even cancellation or no-show fees (when your guest fails to arrive) on reservations. The nice part about this feature is that you set it once, and then we automatically collect final balances from your guests on all IWB reservations. We collect prior to guest arrival, so you are assured of payment. To begin using this feature, simply log in to your listing and proceed to the "IWB Payments" page. Follow the instructions on your screen for setting up IWB Reservation Payments. It's that simple. To collect a cancellation fee from your guest, simply follow the same login steps and select the reservation ID you wish to collect for.

Payment Virtual Terminal is used when you wish to charge your guest's credit card manually. Use Virtual Terminal for any travel-related costs you want to collect. Just enter the payments directly into our system. This is a great service when you wish to offer your customers the convenience of paying by credit card. Collect deposits or balances for rooms, meals, activities, etc. Even collect from your customers if they originally reserved through other sources (for example, another online reservation service like HostelWorld or BedandBreakfast com). Even collect for cancellation or no-show fees (when your guest fails to arrive). To begin using this feature, simply log in to your listing and proceed to the "IWB Payments" page. Then click "Start Virtual Terminal" to begin. Follow the instructions on your screen. It's that simple.
