innRoad Payments FAQ's

Getting Started

Is there a Review Period?

For the first 30 days and 30 transactions of innRoad Payments' activation, the account will be under review. Once both the time period and number of transactions is reached, the review period will be completed.

What is the payout schedule?

Initially daily payouts will be set with a 4 day business day until the account has been through the review period (both active for 30 days and processed at least 30 transactions). After this review period daily payouts will have a 2 business day delay e.g. Payments taken on Monday are available on Wednesday. Payments taken on the weekend days (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) would be expected to arrive on Tuesday as one lump sum. Holidays apply an additional day of delay.

How are you providing these savings?

We eliminate all recurring monthly fees that have nothing to do with processing and reduce the processing rate wherever possible. (See Glossary)

What will my statements look like?

All payment transaction data will be available directly within innCenter in the Reports tab.

Is there a contract?

Just like with the innRoad PMS we do not lock you into a long term contract or have any cancellation fees.

Who will handle my support?

Support will all be handled by the same team you have contacted before.

Why do you need all this onboarding information? Don’t you already have it?

The forms are asking for the legal business information which may have different requirements. We didn’t want to make any assumption when submitting them for verification. You can view a guide to filling out the onboarding form innRoad Payments Onboarding Form

Will there be any downtime when we switch?

The switch will be seamless, with no downtime between activation and when you can begin processing.

Are there any deliverables required of me to switch?

After filling out the onboarding form, we just need to pick a day for activation.

How do I update the payment descriptor that displays on the guest credit card statement?

Contact innRoad support with the request and we can update that for you easily.

Which Merchant Category Code (MCC) will the transactions be classified under on the guest credit card statement?  

All transactions are sent with the "Lodging" code. There are some instances where card issuers ignore it and use innRoad's "Software" code.

Is there a Maximum Charge Amount Limit?

Yes, USD $30,000, CAD $30,000, GBP £20,000, MXN $100,000. If you'd like to configure a lower or higher limit, please contact [email protected]

If I don't require a deposit for reservations made through my booking engine, will the credit card still be validated?

Yes, the system will authenticated all credit cards at the time of reservation, even when booking a reservation with no deposit. Authentication checks that the card is valid and/or usable. We can detect if the card is expired, lost, stolen, overdrawn. If the card does not pass authentication, we treat it as a declined card and provide a decline message.
