Maxxton and Koole Controls integrate Wipay for payments
Fortino Capital investit dans Maxxton, la meilleure solution logicielle développée pour les gestionnaires de locations vacances, saisonnières et à court terme.
Wipay enables holiday parks and campsites to accept card payments directly through their software. Payment amounts automatically appear on the connected Worldline payment terminal. At reception, this simplifies payment processing. In car parks, visitors can pay for parking independently.
Maxxton and Koole Controls are integrating Wipay into their reception and parking management software, in collaboration with Worldline. The integration connects the software to physical payment terminals. Staff no longer need to enter amounts manually, and visitors can also pay independently in the car park.
The integration is currently being tested at Libéma.
Paid parking at the payment kiosk
For parking management, Wipay is connected to Koole Controls' software. This software calculates the amount due and sends it to the Worldline payment terminal installed in the parking kiosk. Visitors can then pay themselves, without needing staff assistance.
This allows holiday parks and campsites to collect parking fees from visitors who are not staying overnight, as well as from guests bringing an additional vehicle that requires a separate payment. Parking management can therefore generate revenue beyond accommodation and camping pitch rentals.
Existing access control systems, including number plate recognition, remain the starting point. The park's parking rights and policies determine which vehicles are granted access and when a parking fee is due.
Automatic payment processing at reception
With a standalone payment terminal, staff have to enter the amount due manually. With Wipay, they initiate the payment through Maxxton. The amount then appears automatically on the connected Worldline payment terminal. Once the payment has been completed successfully, the amount is recorded in the financial administration of the relevant reservation.
This makes it easier for reception staff to collect payments on site for guests' stays, as well as extras and activities. Automatically transferring the amount also reduces the risk of input errors.
It also provides a clearer overview of payments. Online payments and payments made at reception are consolidated under the same reservation. Staff can see what has already been paid and what balance remains outstanding, including when guests pay in instalments.
Three specialists, one payment process
Maxxton provides software for reservations, reception and financial administration. Koole Controls develops parking management software and the associated access control solutions. Worldline supplies Wipay and payment terminals.
The collaboration builds on existing integrations. Maxxton and Worldline already support reservation payments. Maxxton and Koole Controls connect reservation and guest data with access management systems, including barriers and number plate recognition.
Wipay adds the ability to control physical payment terminals directly from the software. This brings reception and car park payments into the same systems that manage reservations and access.
