Austin, TX– RezOvation, the leader in property management systems for inns, B&BS, hotels, and specialty lodging with its RezOvation GT 5.0 Property Management System product, announced that it has passed full PA-DSS credit card security certification. “Our GT product is one of the first products in the world to have completed the new, more rigorous payment application certification standards,” explained John Banczak, COO of RezOvation. “Our customers can now rest assured that RezOvation GT has undergone the most stringent data security testing procedures available and is fully approved for credit card processing and data storage.”
Credit card security is quickly becoming a critical issue for all small merchants that accept credit cards, including B&Bs and small hotels. Any third-party application that a small merchant uses to capture, transmit, store, or process credit cards must be fully certified by 2010 – whether it is an online application, a website shopping-cart, or installed software – and small merchants are scrambling to find software that is approved, appropriate, and affordable. By July of 2010, just over a year away, credit card processors must ensure that all of their merchants are using only fully certified applications. In addition, merchants using third-party applications that are not certified cannot become PCI compliant. Many credit card processors are already enforcing compliance or are charging additional fees to non-compliant properties. RezOvation is already seeing a huge demand from its customers for certified applications and encourages properties to become PA-DSS complaint well in advance of the 2010 deadline to avoid the expected last-minute rush.
RezOvation’s new certification eliminates the guess-work for small lodging properties. At this writing, no other payment applications in the B&B industry have been certified, and it is unknown if or when any others will pass this exacting test. Hundreds of customers already use RezOvation GT for fully lodging-certified credit card processing in an easy-to-use interface for both online and swiped transactions. Add to that the incredibly low rates from Intuit’s QuickBooks Merchant Service, no sign-up fees, no monthly minimums, connectivity to QuickBooks, and now full PA-DSS certification, and it is hard to imagine an easier-to-use, affordable, or safe way to handle credit card payments. Amy Dolan, manager at the Inn above Onion Creek outside of Austin, TX has been a RezOvation GT credit card customer for over a year now. “We switched to RezOvation GT and the Intuit Merchant Services and immediately loved the ease-of-use and the low rates. I really like being able to look at the processed credit card charges whenever I want; the statements are much easier to read than our previous processing vendor; and there are no hidden charges. We have good rates, and now with this certification, we don’t have to worry about other credit card security issues. Our guests will be glad to know that all of their credit card information is safe and secure. Thank you, RezOvation, for giving us what we need to conduct our business like the big guys even when we are the little guys!”
RezOvation GT has been setting the standard for small-to-mid size property management software since its first release just over two years ago. The GT product offers an easy-to-use interface coupled with powerful features. Properties can just as easily manage a nested inventory rate structure with direct, seamless connections to Expedia, hotels.com, BedandBreakfast.com, Kayak, Sidestep, JackRabbit Systems and others as they can schedule automatic birthday or anniversary emails to be sent out to repeat guests every year. With RezOvation GT everything from online bookings, to reporting, QuickBooks connectivity, credit-card processing guest communications and data backup is integrated in one package. Innkeepers save hours of time every week, while also getting peace of mind from a data security standpoint. All of this comes at incredibly low monthly fees with unlimited online transactions.
