Canary Payment Links is a cloud-based payment solution designed for hotels to securely collect payments from guests through unique, customizable online links. The platform allows hotels to send payment requests via email, SMS, or embed them in digital contracts, enabling guests to pay for bookings, deposits, events, and other charges using credit card, ACH, or Apple Pay. By shifting from traditional card-not-present transactions to secure eCommerce and ACH payments, hotels can significantly reduce processing fees and minimize the risk of fraud, chargebacks, and card declines. The system is PCI-compliant, ensuring that all payment data is handled securely and in accordance with industry standards. Payment Links integrates with property management systems (PMS), allowing hotels to track and manage payments alongside reservations directly from the Canary dashboard. The solution automates payment reminders, supports real-time payment tracking, and eliminates the need for manual, paper-based credit card forms, streamlining financial operations and improving the guest payment experience.
