FAQ’s

Check answers to the most common questions about ChargeAutomation

Yes. ChargeAutomation guarantees 100% chargeback protection on transactions processed through the platform, at no extra commission. The industry loses 5 to 6% of annual hospitality revenue to chargeback fraud; ChargeAutomation is built to eliminate that loss entirely.

Every transaction is screened in real time using 150 data points and authenticated via 3D Secure. When a payment is successfully authenticated, liability shifts from the property to the card issuer, so a disputed charge never results in a chargeback or withdrawn funds.
Yes. Guests submit a passport or ID and a selfie for real time verification during pre check in, flagging fake IDs or unauthorized guests before arrival, with no manual front desk checks required.
ChargeAutomation is a digital guest journey platform for hotels and vacation rentals that automates online check in, ID verification, e signatures, security deposits, payments, and upsells, all through one link, with no app download required.
ChargeAutomation pre authorizes (or optionally applies a damage waiver instead of) the security deposit during pre check in, then automatically releases the hold after checkout, with no manual tracking or spreadsheets.
Guests receive a pre check in link by email, SMS, or QR code. They complete ID verification, e signature, forms, and payment from their phone, no app required, and the system can auto release access codes once every step is confirmed.
Yes. Guests can browse and buy add ons (early check in, parking, tours, airport pick up, etc.) directly through their check in link or guest portal. Properties using ChargeAutomation see an average of $40 in extra upsell revenue per booking.
Yes. It connects with 50+ property management systems and 120+ payment gateways, so it fits into an existing tech stack instead of replacing it.
