Non-Integrated Credit Card Processing

With non-integrated processing:
-
Payments are processed outside of rezStream Cloud
-
Transactions must be manually recorded in reservations
-
Refunds and payment adjustments require manual reconciliation
-
Properties can continue using their existing terminal or processor
rezSafe
rezSafe allows properties to securely store and manage payment information within rezStream Cloud while continuing to process transactions through an external payment terminal or processor.

Which Option Is Right for You?
If your goal is to reduce manual entry, automate payment tracking, and manage all payment activity directly within rezStream Cloud, an integrated solution such as Shift4 or Nexio is recommended.
If your property prefers to continue using an existing standalone terminal or external processor, rezSafe provides a flexible non-integrated option.
