Digest: Exely Payment Hub in 2025
This year, we launched Exely Payment Hub — a solution that brings together online payments across Booking Engine, Payment Links, and even Channel Manager — in two test markets. We're expanding to other countries and will notify you once it's available in your region.
Here's a quick look at what’s already available and what’s next.
Secure Payments through Channel Manager
Hotels can now collect 100% prepayments from Booking.com bookings with a single click — available when the Bank Card Guarantee payment method is selected. If a card is invalid or has insufficient funds, it’s flagged in the Card Report, allowing you to cancel unreliable bookings in advance.
What’s Coming in 2026
- Channel Manager: Charging of virtual cards → More OTAs connected to acquiring → Flexible prepayment settings → Auto-charging instead of click-to-charge.
- Booking Engine: More banks and payment gateways will be available.
- Payment Links: Optimized payment page to boost conversion → Integration with WhatsApp and Viber for sending payment links.
