When guests can pay instantly during booking, you'll:
Reduce no-shows and cancellations (guests who pay commit)
Stop chasing payments manually
Give guests immediate booking confirmation
Increase direct bookings by removing friction
Without online payments, guests must wait for invoices and manual payment instructions - many abandon bookings at this stage.
Zeevou works with three payment processors. Choose based on your location and existing accounts:
