Frequently Asked Questions

Yes – here’s why. Travel businesses like agents (online or in store), lodging stays (hotels, motels), tour agencies, cruise lines, among others – are considered high risk in the financial processing world. That’s due to many reasons like high price points, no-shows, and high chargeback rates. We understand these risks well and have specialized our payment platform for travel agency businesses. With preventative chargeback measures, real-time monitoring, and our expert team there for support – you can focus more on business growth and less on payment processing hassles.

Credit card processing for travel agencies rates will differ depending on the needs of your business. We consider your business type, risk level, and the expected volume of transactions. Here are fees and rates to keep in mind:
• Setup fees – One time costs associated with opening an account for travel agency merchant processing.
• Transaction Fees – Typically between 3% and 5% flat or percentage fee per transaction.
• Maintenance Fees – Monthly costs for travel merchant account maintenance.
• Chargeback Fees – Dispute charge handling fees.

Purchases like travel packages and flight tickets cost more than your average buy. These high dollar transactions are labelled high-risk because a chargeback is more expensive for travel merchants and cost more in travel agent merchant processing fees. Regulatory challenges like varying consumer protection laws, refund policies, and licensing requirements add a new level of complexity as well. The industry is also prone to cancelled and modified bookings which lead to refund requests and disputes. All these and more have led to more strict policies to mitigate potential losses – at times causing traditional banks to refuse travel merchant accounts altogether. At PayCompass – we get it. The travel industry, although risky, still requires a merchant account they can depend on. That’s why we work closely with our partners to tailor travel merchant accounts that work for you – all while keeping your costs low and our fees transparent.

We make it easy for travel agencies, cruise lines, online booking agencies, tour operators and all types of travel services to get access to a merchant account that works for them. Our process is short, to the point, and allows you to customize your travel merchant account based on the needs of your business. Fill out our form and input your business information, we’ll review your application and collect any additional details required. Then, we’ll reach back out within 3 to 5 business days. You’ll find our experts work as guides, rather than just customer servicce, that are eager to help your business thrive!
