NAVIGATING PAYMENT AND COST CHALLENGES: A DEEPER INSIGHT

‍

Let's consider a common scenario where a hospitality business aims to secure pre-payment for a series of small events or experiences. Currently, these businesses are hesitant to commit the time, expenses, and complexities associated with establishing a comprehensive e-commerce storefront for digital payments. Instead, they explore various alternative payment options.

Creating Event Page: The Costly Trade-Off for Hospitality Businesses

‍

Establishing event pages has become a common practice for businesses in the hospitality industry. However, this seemingly straightforward method introduces a series of challenges. For many hospitality businesses managing small-scale events, the requirement of a ticket may not be necessary. Equally these businesses often drive sales from their own community of customers and social followers, meaning the high commission rates ranging from 8-15% feel like an unreasonable cost to bear.

Phone Call for Payment: A Double-Edged Sword of Inconvenience and Risk

‍

The conventional approach of managing payments over the phone, while offering a personal touch, comes with its own set of challenges. Beyond the apparent inconvenience for customers, this method necessitates extra staff to facilitate the management of sensitive data, leading to heightened operational costs and risks.

‍

Payment by Link: Balancing Act of Customer Burden and Operational Costs

‍

One other option for hospitality businesses is "Pay by Link". While seemingly convenient, it places the burden on customers to reach out and request bookings actively. This not only results in increased operational costs but also introduces inefficiencies in the reservation management process. The need for additional staff to handle the communication and coordination associated with this method adds another layer of complexity, further driving up costs for businesses striving to streamline their operations. By its very nature, it is designed as a request to pay, which means that it is difficult to scale or to share with large groups of customers.
