Two New Sirvoy Features Boost Global Bookings & Offer More Pricing Control

10 February 2023, 05:43 SAST

2023 will be a year teeming with international guests. Borders are reopening and international tourism is projected to reach near pre-pandemic levels.1

How is Sirvoy helping you to satisfy and attract globe-trotting guests?

Previously, international guests meant unique payment challenges; maybe you’ve dreaded hearing, “Can I pay with WeChat?” or “Would a bank transfer be ok?” 

Every region has its preferred payment method and it was a struggle for both accommodation providers and their guests to find a method that worked for each other. Thankfully, this is no longer a concern for Sirvoy users.

Deploy 45+ New Stripe Payment Methods For Your Guests Today

Activate Stripe integration and your guests will have access to a massive library of payment methods. Popular regional options and time-tested international ones will all be available in your booking engine with Stripe Checkout.

The list of Stripe payment methods is exhaustive and includes:

  • Credit cards
  • Bank debits
  • Bank redirects
  • Bank transfers
  • Buy now, pay later
  • Real-time payments
  • Vouchers
  • Digital wallets

Payment will be a breeze with your guest’s favorite way to pay, increasing their satisfaction and boosting repeat visits. 

Try OBP For Booking.com. Get More Control, More Profit

Occupancy-Based Pricing (OBP) for Booking.com is here! OBP helps maximize revenue from guest groups of all sizes. This feature makes it even easier to set the exact price of a unit depending on the number of guests staying there. 

Previously, specifying the exact price for many different numbers of guests required balancing settings on both Booking.com and Sirvoy. But with OBP you can give exact pricing for up to 49 occupants with only a few clicks in Sirvoy.

The flexible prices you set up in Sirvoy will automatically apply to Booking.com.

With this new feature, it’s important to sync your settings between Booking.com and Sirvoy. But don’t worry, it’s an easy tweak. You can get all the details in our article “Connecting Sirvoy to Booking.com.”
