Swipe Credit Cards: When checking in a reservation, it is important to swipe the credit card in the credit card swipe number field. This will insure that A swipe ensures your property collects the lower "swipe rate" for credit card discounts. It will save the hotel approximately ½% a few 'basis points' of the total dollar value settled. The act of swiping is easy: when the cursor is in the Credit Card Number field (whether on New Booking, Booking Detail, Manage Cards, or House Account screens), simply swipe the card in the Credit Card Number field, hit the <tab> button, and watch as the system parses the First Name, Last Name, Card Number, and Expiry into the proper fields. Auth & Swipe Rates only apply to customers utilizing the MyCard payment gateway service. Customers who are not using the MyCard service will need to manually process credit cards through their merchant provided terminal. |
