Canary Digital Authorizations is a cloud-based solution designed for hotels to securely collect, process, and manage credit card authorizations from guests and third parties. The platform replaces traditional paper and PDF authorization forms—which are no longer PCI-compliant and pose significant fraud risks—with a secure, PCI Level-1 compliant online interface. Hotels can send unique authorization links to guests, who enter their payment details directly into a protected system. The solution automates notifications, tracks authorizations, and provides a comprehensive dashboard for monitoring and managing all transactions. Canary Digital Authorizations helps hotels prevent fraud, identify suspicious activity, and dramatically reduce chargebacks by up to 90%. The system streamlines payment collection, saves staff time by eliminating manual paperwork, and ensures compliance with industry standards, protecting hotels from costly non-compliance penalties. Integration with other Canary guest management tools enables a seamless, efficient guest journey and centralized operations.
