FAQ’s
Check answers to the most common questions about ChargeAutomation

You create a link manually, reuse a saved one, or let an automatic rule send it, and the guest pays on a secure page in seconds. As soon as the payment goes through, ChargeAutomation updates the reservation, your PMS and your payment gateway.
Yes. ChargeAutomation payment links are PCI compliant, encrypted, and can use your own branded domain so guests know the request comes from you. Eligible payments authenticated with 3D Secure are also covered by chargeback protection.
