A Five Star Embedded Payments Partner
Lodging and hospitality SaaS providers support an industry with unique and important integrated payments needs such as passing the required data for lower lodging rates from the credit card companies. This means you need a payment partner that is flexible enough to customize your integration to meet those special needs while offering the exceptional service your customers are known for. It means partnering with Wind River Payments.
Wind River’s embedded payment solution for lodging and hospitality providers includes:
Easy to Manage Payments Environment
Many SaaS providers support multiple payment processors and gateways in their software. This becomes time consuming and expensive to manage for you and delivers an inconsistent payment experience to your customers. Wind River eliminates the complexity of supporting multiple integrations by providing a single integration for both payment processing and the payment gateway.

Technology Designed for Hospitality and Lodging
Just as you keep your software current with the latest features and capabilities needed by your customers, Wind River makes sure our integrated payments technology stays on top of the needs of the industry, specifically:
- Seamlessly passing the lodging data required to qualify for reduced interchange rates from the credit card companies
- Card tokenization so returning guests can conveniently and securely pay without reentering their credit card information
- Ability to seamlessly accept multiple payment methods across all guest touch points
- Enhance staffing efficiency by enabling contactless check in and check out
- Automated process for providing chargeback support
Dedicated Service and Support
When your customers have payments questions or need support, it is important to have a person they can call who will know them by name and understand their business. Wind River delivers this concierge-type of service for our SaaS partners and their customers. It’s one of the reasons we have industry-leading customer retention rates of over 90 percent and a partner Net Promoter Score (NPS) of 95. The scale for NPS is -100 to 100. The higher the score, the greater the loyalty.

Transparent and Sustainable Payment Processing Fees
The payments industry has earned a reputation for vague and deceptive pricing practices. A common tactic is to start customers with low attractive rates only to begin raising them once the deal is done. After all the rate increases and added fees are totaled, customers often end up paying much more than they should for their credit card processing. We don’t buy in to that practice at Wind River. It’s not the right thing to do for our customers, and it’s not the right thing to do for the customers of our SaaS partners.
Our pricing philosophy is to start fair and stay fair. We won’t overcharge, and we won’t sneak fees onto your customers’ processing invoices.
Focus on Compliance and Security
Wind River delivers peace of mind that payment information is securely stored and transactions are fully encrypted. While security does not completely rest with PCI compliance, it is the starting point for delivering a secure environment.
The current PCI process can be cumbersome and time consuming for your customers. To alleviate this, Wind River reduces their PCI scope by delivering the following:
- Hosted payment page for online transactions
- Point-to-Point Encryption for onsite transactions
- Tokenization of card information for repeat transactions
- Safe storage of cardholder information in Wind River’s secure vault
In addition, Wind River has extensive in-house security expertise that proactively monitors trends in cyberattack methods and security threats. As we see new threats emerge, we proactively communicate those threats to our customers and partners and provide guidance on how to mitigate those threats.
