How to manage payments on manual reservations

Updated over a week ago

With AmenitizPay, you can manage payments directly while creating a manual reservation.

You have two main options:

✔️ Credit Card – Charge a saved card, send a payment request, or enter new card details manually.


✔️ Bank Transfer – Send the guest your bank details via email.

This guide will walk you through each method to help you manage payments smoothly.

1️⃣ Paying by Credit Card

When selecting Credit Card, your payment rules will follow the terms set in your AmenitizPay settings.

⚙️ Payment Preferences

You have two ways to define how payments are processed:

  1. Automatically charge the guest – Pre-authorise a fixed amount (e.g., €150.00) as a security deposit.

  2. Specify a charge amount – Manually enter the amount to be charged upfront. (This option does not support pre-authorisation or scheduled payments.)

You can modify these settings anytime in AmenitizPay settings.

💳 Payment Processing Options

Use an Existing Card


If the guest has a saved credit card on file, you can charge it directly. The masked card details will be displayed for verification before processing the payment.

Send a Payment Request


If you prefer the guest to complete the payment themselves, you can send a secure payment link via WhatsApp, email, or both. The guest will then enter their details and finalise the transaction.

📌 Note

If you’re sending a payment link via WhatsApp, and the page does not open, it may be due to a pop-up blocker in Google Chrome.

To resolve this issue, follow these steps:

  • Open Google Chrome Settings

  • Go to Privacy and Security

  • Click on Site Settings

  • Scroll down to Pop-ups and Redirects

  • Change the setting from Blocked (recommended) to Allow

  • Refresh the page and try again

Enter New Credit Card Details


If the guest provides new card details, you can enter them manually to charge the payment immediately.

2️⃣ Paying by bank transfer

If you select Bank Transfer, you will need to:

  1. Enter the guest’s email – The system will send them your bank details automatically.

  2. Specify the amount to charge – This will be included in the payment request email.

⚠️ Warning

This method does not support pre-authorisation or scheduled payments.

Only SEPA transfers are supported. Transfers via SWIFT, BACS, or ACH will fail.
