The Essential Plugin for Hotels, Guesthouses, and Rentals

Are you running your accommodation or tour business with the powerful VikBooking Pro engine? Don’t lose customers at the most critical step—payment. This plugin is the essential bridge you need to connect your VikBooking system directly to the leading payment processor.

Stop forcing your local customers to use international payment methods. Empower them to pay with the options they know and trust: Bank Transfer, USSD, and of course, credit/debit cards. By offering local payment solutions, you will reduce booking abandonment, build customer trust, and secure more direct reservations.

Unlock Payments, Secure More Bookings

This plugin was built to solve one specific problem: allowing businesses that use VikBooking Pro to seamlessly accept payments from their local customers

• Increase Your Conversion Rate: More payment options mean more completed bookings. Go beyond just cards and accept payments from the millions of people who use Mobile Money every day.
• Enhance Customer Trust: When customers see familiar and trusted payment options they are more confident to complete their booking.
• Automate Your Workflow: Successful payments automatically update the booking status in your VikBooking dashboard. No more manual confirmations or chasing payments—the system handles it for you.

Key Features

1. Accept Payment Methods Enable your guests to pay via:

• Credit / Debit Cards (Visa, Mastercard)
• Direct Bank Transfer
• USSD

2. Seamless Integration with VikBooking The payment process is smoothly integrated into the VikBooking checkout flow. Customers are not redirected to a confusing third-party site until the final, secure payment step, ensuring a professional and uninterrupted user experience.

3. Simple Configuration Panel A single, easy-to-use setup page within your website’s administrator area lets you:

• Enable or Disable the gateway at any time.
• Switch Between Test & Live Mode to safely test your payment flow before accepting real payments.

4. Automatic Booking Confirmation Once a payment is successfully processed the plugin instantly communicates with VikBooking to confirm the reservation and update the booking status, preventing double bookings and saving you administrative time.

5. Secure & Reliable Leverage Level 1 PCI-DSS compliant security. All sensitive payment information is handled by  secure servers, meaning no card or bank details are ever stored on your website.
