In the hospitality industry, an efficient payment management process is crucial to the smooth operation of a hotel. To help hotels optimize this process, Hotel Link has officially upgraded the Payment Instruction section in booking details, enabling hotels to track, process, and manage payments more quickly and accurately. With an intuitive and user-friendly interface, hotels can now monitor payment statuses directly within the system without the need for manual checks or concerns about missing transactions. Let’s explore this important update with Hotel Link!
