IBS Software is partnering with Stripe, a financial infrastructure platform for businesses, to ease friction in the travel industry by providing an increased range of payment solutions for those using IBS Software’s iStay. This technical integration is available immediately for IBS Software customers. iStay and Stripe built this partnership using Stripe’s Connect product, the fastest and easiest way to integrate payments and financial services into the user’s software platform or marketplace.

This partnership enables hospitality groups to improve the traveler experience and personalize key steps of the traveler’s journey – making purchase moments easier and potentially more frequent. To give travelers more options, the Stripe integration will support both online and in-person payment processing.

For customers, this seamless integration allows them to benefit from modern payment solutions and an abundance of choice when it comes to how they pay for their travel. Businesses will be able to offer features like a one-click booking experience and access to popular payment options like installments and buy now, pay later methods. Not only will these options be available at the time of booking, but at multiple points throughout the guest’s journey from in-room dining to tours and activities to parking, all bookable through saved payment methods, reducing friction and time spent on the customer’s side arranging payment during repeat visits.

Through this partnership, IBS Software continues to build out its best-in-class unified iStay platform to ensure the best possible travel experience from booking to the journey back home.
