Sabre Hospitality, a division of Sabre Corporation, has introduced SynXis Pay, a new payment solution designed to make financial transactions faster, more secure, and easier for both travelers and hotel operators. This innovation aims to support the growth of tourism in North America by streamlining payment processes and enhancing the guest experience.
Developed in partnership with CellPoint Digital, SynXis Pay integrates over 250 payment methods, offering travelers greater flexibility and simplifying payment operations for hotels. The platform addresses common challenges like multi-currency transactions, payment gateways, and reconciliation, making it easier for hotels to manage finances while reducing foreign exchange risks.
How SynXis Pay Improves Travel Payments
The new system supports globally recognized payment platforms, allowing travelers to use their preferred methods when booking hotels.
Key features include:
Apple Pay & Google Pay: One-click express checkout for guests using the SynXis Booking Engine.
PayPal & Klarna: Options for digital wallets and installment-based payments.
WeChat Pay & Regional Systems: Support for international travelers who rely on country-specific mobile payment services.
This ensures a seamless booking experience for travelers, whether they’re reserving a luxury resort in Europe, a boutique hotel in Asia, or a business stay in North America.
Benefits for Hotels and the Hospitality Industry
For hotel operators, SynXis Pay simplifies payment processing, which has traditionally been complex and time-consuming.
The platform includes an intelligent orchestration layer that:
- Automatically selects the best payment gateway based on the guest’s location and preferred payment method.
- Allows hotels to receive payouts in their local currency while guests pay in theirs.
- Enhances transaction security and fraud prevention.
By reducing operational challenges, hotels can lower transaction costs, improve efficiency, and increase booking conversions, all while offering guests a more personalized and convenient experience.
Bridging Travel and Financial Technology
Sabre’s launch of SynXis Pay reflects a growing trend in the travel industry, where financial technology is playing a larger role. As hotels adopt digital wallets, mobile banking, and even cryptocurrency-based payments, platforms like SynXis Pay are setting new standards for seamless financial interactions.
For travelers, this means fewer currency exchange issues, smoother check-ins, and more control over how they pay. For hotels, it represents a significant step toward operational efficiency and global market accessibility.
What’s Next?
Sabre Hospitality plans to roll out SynXis Pay in phases over the coming months, allowing both travelers and hotel operators to gradually experience its benefits. While the full impact of the system remains to be seen, early adoption is expected to transform payment processes across the hospitality sector.
As the travel industry continues to evolve digitally, innovations like SynXis Pay highlight the importance of seamless and personalized guest experiences—starting from the moment of payment.
This launch marks another step forward in Sabre’s mission to simplify travel and empower the hospitality industry through cutting-edge technology.
