Direct Booking Payments for Hotels & Resorts

Collect room bookings, stay details, add-on selections, and booking advances directly via UPI with zero commissions and instant settlements.

Start Collecting Booking Payments

SMEPay is a leading UPI payment gateway in India designed for premium hospitality. We empower hotels, resorts, and homestays to collect direct reservations with zero commission fees. Elevate your brand experience with custom room booking links that support check-in/out dates, room tier selection, guest registration, and secure partial payment booking advances.

How It Works in 3 Simple Steps

1

Create Booking Link

Enter stay dates, choose room categories, specify billing rates, and toggle partial payment options from your dashboard.

2

Send Link to Guest

Share the booking payment link directly via WhatsApp chat, Email, or SMS during reservation inquiries.

3

Receive Instant Advance

Guests pay securely using their preferred UPI apps, and the funds settle instantly into your bank account.

What is a Hotel Booking Link?

Unlike simple payment links that only request an amount, SMEPay's Hotel Booking Link is custom-tailored for the hospitality industry. It embeds guest check-in/out dates, room tier breakdowns, optional add-ons, and partial payment capabilities to manage guest expectations transparently.

Why Hospitality Needs It

  • Escape OTAs: Stop paying 15-20% booking commission to booking platforms on reservations that you sourced directly.
  • Eliminate Room No-Shows: Capture secure booking advance deposits to lock in dates, preventing empty rooms.
  • Solve Cash Flow Strains: Enjoy instant settlements directly in your bank account instead of waiting for monthly OTA payouts.
