There are situations where customers are more comfortable in paying an advance rather than paying the whole amount in an instant. Maybe they are short on funds and they cannot afford to miss a good deal. Or they need to book for an extended vacation but don’t want to pay upfront in one go.
With the Partial payment option, you provide your customers with a peace of mind and a comfort zone. They can happily reserve rooms by paying a small amount and due amount when the check in the hotel.
Want to provide your customers with an advance payment option to reserve rooms? Then Partial Payment Feature of Qloapps is for you!
