Get the money

Apaleo Pay uses Adyen’s Drop-in technology that is based on Adyen’s checkout API. This provides a secure, flexible, and scalable way to handle online payments across different channels and payment methods.

In addition to the immediate payment charge, apaleo Pay supports authorization holds for future charges. This allows a hotel to temporarily reserve a specific amount on a guest’s credit card without immediately charging it. Authorized amounts can later be charged to collect actual payments or released if no payment is required. This is commonly used for no-shows, incidentals, or minibar consumption.

Depending on the flow, authorizations may be performed directly on a payment method or via a Payment Account. A Payment Account in apaleo is a secure, tokenized representation of a payment method (such as a credit card or alternative payment method) that can be reused for recurring or subsequent charges.
