Introducing Instant Payment Flow on AltoSearch: Enhancing Travel Booking Efficiency
In the landscape of corporate travel, simplifying the booking process and ensuring compliance and cost-effectiveness are crucial. Today, we introduce a new addition to our platform designed to enhance your travel experience that enables instant bookings: the Payment Flow feature on AltoSearch, AltoVita’s self-booking platform.
Simplified Payments for Easier Booking
Our Payment Flow streamlines the booking process for both travellers and travel managers by enabling card payments directly on AltoSearch. This integration removes the need for external transactions, making the entire process more efficient and straightforward. With the new Payment Flow, travellers can book their accommodation instantly on AltoSearch.
Support for Travel Managers: Seamless, Compliant, and Cost-Effective
For travel managers, Instant Payment Flow provides significant advantages. Employees can book negotiated rates directly on AltoSearch, ensuring cost savings, compliance, and safety. Our team can set up these negotiated rates for your preferred inventory, allowing for seamless bookings that adhere to your company's travel policies.
Card Payments for Instant Bookings
The employee can select and book a property instantly on the platform, with payments being handled directly as part of the checkout flow. We have a full Stripe integration, we do not store any card data to ensure PCI compliance, and 3D secure is enabled by default if it is supported by the card.
Immediate Confirmations for Bookings
With Instant Payment Flow, travellers receive immediate confirmations for their bookings. This real-time validation ensures that travel plans can proceed without delay, eliminating the waiting period for payment approvals and booking statuses.
Handling Emergencies: Last-Minute Bookings Simplified
Emergencies requiring quick action and reliable solutions can arise. With Instant Payment Flow, you can book vetted inventory at the last minute directly on our platform, ensuring access to safe and suitable accommodations even in urgent situations.
Looking Ahead
Our commitment to improving the travel booking experience continues. Instant Payment Flow is the first step in a series of enhancements aimed at streamlining the process and providing robust tools for travel managers and corporate clients.
