Merchant Account Set Up
In order to take payments via ReRum and the Internet Booking Engine you will require a Payment Gateway and Merchant accounts setup. It's highly likely you already have Merchant accounts setup for taking credit card payments via a card machine.
You will need the following additional facilities authorising on your merchant accounts:
- E-Commerce enabled for all merchant accounts you have i.e. e-commerce on your amex merchant account and visa/mastercard merchant account. E-Commerce is used for the online booking engine and the booking portal.
- Moto (Mail order/telephone order) enabled for all merchant accounts you have i.e. moto on your amex merchant account and visa/mastercard merchant account. Moto is used for all payments taken via ReRum by your reservations team.
You should end up with 4 Merchant account numbers that you provide to your Payment gateway provider.
