Credit card processing - how Globekey handles guest credit card details...

  • Guests enter their credit card details onto Globekey's secure server.
  • You receive an auto-email when a guest books, inviting you to retrieve details from our password-protected secure server.
  • You can then print credit card details and keep on file, or charge a deposit to the guest credit card, as per your booking policy. You need your own credit card merchant account.
  • Credit card details are stored on the Globekey secure server for a maximum of 7 days, in line with international legislation. Guest credit card security is extremely important to us.
  • We can also integrate Globekey with payment gateways, so that guest credit cards are authorised and cleared in real-time, directly into your merchant account (extra fees apply).
No Commission

Globekey charges a low fixed monthly fee. Globekey adds your website design, with header and/or footer links, to the reservations screens.
