Each of the following payment processors offers the most extensive level of integration, meaning you can take payments and issue refunds within a SuperControl booking. The charges and costs of each one are shown below to help you make an informed decision.
Before you can use Opayo (Sage Pay), you need to apply for an e-commerce merchant account with your bank, which Opayo (Sage Pay) requires in order to authorise you to take online payments. Once you have this, you can then sign-up with Opayo (Sage Pay). This integration allows you to take credit and debit cards. Should you wish, you can hold money on the guest’s card for a security deposit, avoiding the need to take money and then refund it back to the guest post-stay (or take a payment if they leave any damage). Opayo (Sage Pay) charges apply.

SuperControl and HolidayRentPayment work together seamlessly to offer you an online payment process that promotes simplicity at every corner. HolidayRentPayment is an industry-specific payment platform that is designed especially for self-caterers. There is no monthly fee, and you don’t need an e-commerce merchant account.
HolidayRentPayment provides payment processing and merchant services for a simple percentage transaction fee (whether they are debit or credit cards) rather than any standing fees. What’s more, repeat payments are taken through tokenisation but without the non-secure charges.
