MyPMS Release September 9, 2020

This release brings new Kiosk Self Check-in services, major enhancements to Kiosk Self Check-in, Agent and Owner Functions, Auto Authorizations and several bug fixes

NEW Self Check-in Payment and Room Access Options

• BookingCenter can link to a ‘lock system’ (whether keyless, swipe, RFID, Wi-Fi, or Low Energy BlueTooth).  For most implementations  we require that the Guest Services Module is purchased and installed.  We have more detail on the Guest Services Module here.
• The Self Check-in process can automate payments via policies you establish.  The method for acquiring an authorization or payment requires either Traditional MyCard or EMV MyCard. Or, you can offer a mix of payment options, with some bookings paying via an EMV terminal (what we call 'EMV MyCard') while others manually manage credit cards (what we call 'Traditional MyCard').  Self Check-in via Mobile and/or Kiosk support these payment options:
