your systems and transaction procedures, thereby preventing data
breaches that could potentially invite hefty financial penalties and

Travel Agent-Assisted Phone Payments
With us, gone are the days of customers nervously reading out their credit card details over the phone. We offer a secure and PCI-compliant method where customers can input their information via a desktop or phone keypad. This approach safeguards customer data reduces the risk of data breaches and fraud-related chargebacks, and aids in de-scoping your network infrastructure.
Web Payments & Online Reservations
Our fully branded, 24/7 online payment system allows customers to settle their outstanding booking balances. This feature can be effortlessly integrated into your existing systems and provides real-time balance information. Your team can also monitor transactions through the real-time reporting interface.
Automated Telephone Payments
Free up your team to focus on fresh prospects by offering your
customers a 24/7 fully branded telephone payment line. Our
scriptwriters craft precise call recordings to cater to your unique
needs.
This system can be integrated to verify balances from your current
systems, confirm client reference numbers, and send email or SMS
payment links.
Flexible Recurring Payment Schedules
Our system allows you to create a customised payment plan against
a customer's credit card, ensuring any outstanding travel booking
balances are settled promptly or over time. This service is flexible,
offering one-time or recurring payments spread over weeks or
months.
Our recurring card payment system functions similarly to a direct
debit system, automatically processing payments at the right time,
reducing late payments and freeing you from the hassle of chasing
unpaid balances. Daily reports are generated to inform your team
whether transactions were successful or not.
Join us at Gala Technology and reinvent the way your travel business
handles secure payments. Because with us, you're always in safe
hands.
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) now mandates
its accredited travel agencies to conform to the Payment Card
Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). This standard is vital for
safeguarding payment data in an increasingly digital age. Learn
more about it here.
Despite the looming threat of hefty fines and penalties, many
travel agencies overlook the importance of PCI DSS compliance.
Reasons range from lack of awareness or concern to a
misunderstanding of the technical complexity involved in meeting
the standards.
Recognising these challenges, IATA understands that achieving PCI
DSS certification may be a daunting task for travel agencies.
However, the implementation of our SOTpay solution can dispel all
worries related to PCI DSS compliance, as it ensures no sensitive
data enters your work environment.
Our award-winning cloud-based platform, acknowledged by international payment gateways and PCI QSAs, provides several unmatched benefits:
PCI-Compliant Call Recording
We ensure that customers enter card details securely via their desktop or phone keypad, maintaining absolute confidentiality of sensitive data.
Constant Client Interaction
Unlike systems that redirect customers to an impersonal automated IVR, our approach allows your agents to remain actively involved throughout the process, thereby minimising dropped calls.
Live Dashboard
Keep an eye on customer payment progression without ever being exposed to sensitive card details.
Vendor-Neutral
We aren't bound to a specific telecom supplier or partner. Our solutions smoothly integrate with your existing network, negating the need to change providers.
FCA Regulation Compliance
Our SOTpay solution effectively prevents any data leakage across phone networks.

Integration with QuickBooks and Xero

The customer initiates the payment process by calling your company and receiving a SOTpay payment link via their chosen communication method.
As the customer inputs their card information, your agent stays on the call, helping as needed without seeing any sensitive card data.
The agent monitors the payment process via the SOTpay dashboard, only viewing the outcome of a successful transaction.
