MUNICH - Today, apaleo announced the release of its latest white paper, Get a Grip on Guest Payments. The focus of this free download is to understand the challenges hotels are currently facing, address current consumer expectations, reduce fraud and customer friction, and explain how technology solves these problems.
It's vital to realize how payments affect the experience throughout the guest's journey and how it reflects back on the accommodation provider. From a guest's perspective, payments are expected to not only be fast and frictionless, but also trustworthy and secure. When something doesn't work properly or is open to human error, the risk of unmet expectations will likely lead to a negative experience.
"When the COVID-19 crisis hit, hotels faced a surge of refund requests amid mass cancellations and closures, all while having to fight potential cargebacks. Those with automated and integrated systems in place have fared much stronger compared to accommodation providers who had to manage everything manually." - Benjamin Schmid, Founder @ apaleo.
