]]>The integration allows Jonas Chorum users to leverage b4checkin’s industry-leading technology to securely manage and create payment requests with the level of reliability and security that Jonas Hospitality customers have come to expect. As members of the Jonas Hospitality family of technology brands, this integration was built through Jonas ARC, our powerful integration engine. Together, b4checkin and Jonas Chorum are committed to helping hoteliers solve operational challenges through smarter, more innovative solutions.
“At a time when hotels are looking to reduce risk, streamline operations, and modernize payment collection, this integration delivers meaningful impact,” explains Steve Miles, President at b4checkin. “TransForm gives hotels a smarter way to collect payments without exposing sensitive card data or adding operational friction.”
How TransForm Enhances PMS-Driven Payments
With the new integration, TransForm securely pulls key guest and reservation details directly from Jonas Chorum PMS—ensuring payment requests are sent to the correct guest, at the right time, with the right amount—for any card-not-present transactions.
Once a guest submits payment through b4checkin’s secure portal that credit card information is tokenized and stored in the PMS, providing hotels with the ability to charge for future transactions without re-collecting payment details. This tokenized data improves operations without exposing hoteliers to additional risk.
“Payment security and operational efficiency go hand in hand,” saidAdam Wilson, General Manager, at Jonas Chorum. “By integrating with b4checkin TransForm, our PMS users gain a modern, secure way to collect payment details while keeping all reservation and payment activity connected within the PMS.”
Key Benefits for Hotels
- Simplified, secure deposit requests for single or group reservations
- Collect card details for any remote (card-not-present) payment
- Support for single-payment or installment-based deposit plans
- PCI-compliant, tokenized card storage within the PMS
- Reduced fraud and chargeback risk through eCommerce processing

]]>Beyond the scope of any digital transaction or credit card verification technologies, a credo that applies to innumerous businesses is the 80/20 rule. For hospitality, this often means that 80% of a hotel’s problems will stem from 20% of its customers.
Now, bringing the focus back to payment systems, we see this play out these days in the form of friendly guest – a hidden cost that has grown exponentially in the past few years. A simple definition of this (to distinguish it from criminal or genuine fraud) would be cases where an actual cardholder has used a hotel’s goods or service but then denies these activities ever took place and demands a refund.
For example, suppose a guest takes advantage of a recent promotion you launched, staying with you a weekend getaway – Friday and Saturday night – and dining at your in-house restaurant both evenings. All is good until three weeks later when your accounting team receives notice that the room reservation and both dinner bills are being disputed.
While there is a chance you might win this chargeback, there’s also a high probability you won’t because credit card processors are systemically predisposed to protect the cardholder by favoring their perspective in a dispute with a merchant. It’s a bit of a loophole for card-not-present transactions.
So, beyond the total refundable amount (room nights and both meals), you have significant opportunity costs on two fronts. You could’ve sold that room on a busy weekend to another (hopefully honest) guest while your accounting team could’ve spent their time focusing on other tasks in lieu of preparing documentation to support the hotel’s case in the dispute (what is often called ‘representment’).
TransForm is specifically designed to maximize a hotel’s chances of winning chargeback disputes by tokenizing all credit card data before anyone from the hotel team can gain full visibility on that sensitive information. It’s a powerful step that saves a ton of headaches later on.
By doing this – that is, making the cardholder key in their own details via a secure ecommerce portal – properties can fully abide by PCI DSS compliance standards because it can be proven that no one from the hotel side ever saw the full card to thereby charge it without the guest’s permission.
Not letting guests take advantage of the card-not-present loophole by ensuring that no one on your team had even a remote chance of seeing the card therefore minimizes friendly fraud and, ultimately, deters these bad actors from selecting your property in the first place.
Other features in TransForm are worth highlighting for their capacity to discourage these toxic guests (the customers most likely to commit friendly fraud) from ever staying at your hotel. Demo a book to learn more about how the following can help:
- Global lead time restrictions
- Built-in CVV, AVS and 3DS settings
- Closure after completion.
- PMS integrations

]]>The Client
Holiday Inn Express & Suites Houston West – Katy is a three-star hotel just outside Houston along the I-10. With their convenient location and amenities, they are a high-traffic hotel that hosts a wide variety of guests, from frequent business travelers to transient guests and leisure visitors. They have a busy front desk who need to welcome and check guests in quickly, which is why efficient technology is essential.
We spoke with LaKisha Johnson, the hotel’s General Manager, about her experience using b4Checkin’s TransForm solution to streamline complicated check-ins.
The Challenge
10-15 minutes per guest for manual authorization processing
Vigilant monitoring needed for chargebacks and fraud
Before implementing b4checkin, the hotel had to email forms back and forth, followed by manual entry for any letters of authorization needed at check-in. This process was time-consuming and inefficient, requiring staff to spend 10-15 minutes per guest, with the potential for delays, errors, and a frustrated guest who just wants to check into their room. Additionally, like many hotels, they were staying vigilant for potential chargebacks and fraudulent transactions. LaKisha and her team needed a solution that could streamline authorization processes, reduce chargebacks, and enhance guest satisfaction.
The Solution
b4checkin’s Transform solution provided a secure, digital method for handling credit card authorizations for card-not-present (CNP) transactions, as well as in scenarios in which the card authenticity was in question. Like most General Managers, LaKisha has a lot on her plate, and implementing a new solution was not top of mind. Once she saw how easy it was to train and use, she was convinced of the significant benefits Transform could offer.
Using TransForm to send secure payment links instead of handling manual paperwork, allows her team to reduce administrative burdens and improve overall efficiency.
“It makes guests happier. They’ve just gotten in after a long day of travel, and the last thing they want to do is sit around and wait for paperwork to be signed off on. With TransForm we can get the entire process completed in under 2 minutes.”
The Results
Implementing b4checkin’s TransForm solution has led to several key improvements:
Processing a CNP authorization takes as little as two minutes instead of 10–15, allowing staff to focus on guest service rather than paperwork.
The hotel has seen a decrease in chargebacks, as the secure payment link acts as a fraud deterrent for front desk transactions.
The digital authorization process reduces guest frustration, creating a more seamless check-in experience.
Staff no longer need to manually process multiple letters of authorization per shift, freeing up valuable time for other tasks.
Overall, b4checkin’s TransForm has provided the Holiday Inn Express & Suites Houston West – Katy with a streamlined, secure, and guest-friendly approach to handling payments and authorizations.
When asked if she would recommend TransForm to other General Managers in her position, LaKisha says she already has!
“Using the system is easy. And it gives the hotel and the public an added layer of protection, with this secure payment method that guests can do on their own time and on their own device.”

Rosen Hotels & Resorts is a hospitality brand based in Orlando, Florida, known for its commitment to integrity, customer service and innovation. With multiple properties throughout Florida, Rosen Hotels serves a diverse clientele, including business travelers, tourists, and groups.
Supporting their operations is Millennium Technology Group (MTG), a wholly owned subsidiary that provides full-scale IT services—including networking, development and technical support for Rosen Hotels and for other clients. We spoke with Justin McCann, Director of Technical Support at MTG, as well as Jennifer Rice Palmer, Vice President of Guest Contact and Revenue Management at Rosen Hotels & Resorts, to understand how the hotel brand has benefited from their long-standing partnership with b4checkin.
The Challenge
Manual collection of payment information from guests and groups
PCI compliance and data security challenges
Burden on both staff and guests across multiple departments
Prior to implementing TransForm by b4, Rosen Hotels relied on paper-based processes for collecting payment information from individual guests and group reservations. This not only posed challenges in terms of PCI compliance and data security but also created inefficiencies for both staff and guests. When Rosen Hotels looked to modernize over twelve years ago, they needed a solution that would allow multiple departments to manage payments while also being easy to configure and secure without burdening operations or technical support staff.
The Solution
Rosen Hotels implemented TransForm by b4 to streamline the collection of guest payments. The platform replaced outdated paper forms with a secure, PCI-compliant digital portal that integrates directly with the hotel’s property management system (PMS).
Group and event transaction management
Individual guest payment processing
Seamless check-in transactions
TransForm is used by nearly every guest-facing department, including sales, central reservations, and its front desk team. They use it to seamlessly manage individual, group, and event-related transactions. It’s a flexible solution that has allowed the brand to innovate how they handle payment transactions — including unexpected use cases, such as gathering financial information from their internal team for benefit payments.
The Results
The implementation of TransForm has significantly streamlined Rosen Hotels’ operations. By eliminating manual paperwork and enabling secure digital transactions, TransForm has reduced the risk associated with handling sensitive guest information and ensured PCI compliance. TransForm’s integration with their PMS allows real-time data syncing, minimizing manual input and reducing errors.

]]>The Client
Washington Square Hotel is an historic boutique hotel located in the heart of New York City. In its prime location near the iconic park of the same name, the hotel attracts a diverse clientele including visitors to nearby universities as well as business and leisure travelers seeking European luxury in the heart of Manhattan. Known for its unique ambiance blending old-world charm with modern amenities, Washington Square Hotel prides itself on a loyal customer base, with many guests returning time and time again over 20 to 30 years. To understand how Washington Square Hotel benefits from b4checkin’s solutions we spoke with Sonny Christopher, General Manager and Bhanu Pratap, Group Sales Manager.
The Challenge
Prior to adopting solutions by b4checkin, Washington Square relied on a booking engine that needed multiple integrations to work correctly, creating data inaccuracies and operational inefficiencies. Booking and payment processes were cumbersome, requiring staff to sometimes manually re-enter reservations, leading to increased workload and a higher risk of errors. The hotel needed a solution that streamlined the booking process, provided seamless integration with its property management system and enhanced the guest experience. A reliable and secure payment processing system was also needed to handle online transactions and group payments.
The Solution
Washington Square Hotel turned to b4 for a comprehensive solution that includes both a booking engine and payment portal that integrates with their existing tech and operational workflows. They implemented TransForm, the payment portal by b4 that allows them to request and process group payments, as well as GettaRoom, b4’s online booking engine.
This simplified operations and improved efficiency by eliminating the need for redundant data entry by providing streamlined integration between reservation bookings and the property management system. With many repeat guests, the booking engine enables guests to create a personal profile to make future bookings more convenient and efficient.
TransForm by b4 ensures secure payment transactions for reservation deposits, gift certificates, PCI-compliant credit card authorizations and group deposits. TransForm eliminates the need to collect credit card details on paper forms and provides the option to authorize and manage installment plans.
“TransForm helps us set up quick group links for groups that are flexible to however we need to set it up for all the groups and returning guests coming to the hotel,”
The booking engine also helps the Washington Square team to enhance its marketing efforts through pre-stay and post-stay emails, as well as reminders and promotions for add-ons and future offers. Automated email confirmations for bookings, changes and cancellations, along with pre-stay and post-stay promotional emails streamline operations and help to reduce the likelihood of no-shows to enhance reliability of forecasts.
The Results
Since implementing b4’s solutions, Washington Square Hotel has enjoyed improvements in efficiency and guest satisfaction:
Making it easy for guests to reserve rooms online with an intuitive, streamlined interface that reduces booking time and increases conversion rates.
Particularly beneficial for return customers who can easily access their profiles and booking history, creating a personalized and seamless experience.
Increased efficiency in managing group reservations, easily allowing group leaders to process multiple reservations through personalized booking links.
Significantly reduced administrative workload for staff, freeing up valuable time to focus on delivering exceptional guest service and hospitality.
Enhanced reliability with automated pre-stay reminders and confirmations, significantly reducing the likelihood of no-shows and last-minute cancellations.
Improved marketing capabilities with the ability to extract guest emails for post-stay promotions and targeted communication campaigns that drive repeat bookings.
b4checkin has provided Washington Square Hotel with a reliable and efficient suite of solutions that has streamlined operations and enhanced the guest experience.
“I would strongly recommend b4checkin’s solutions,” says Christopher. “On the management side of things, it provides a lot of information, it’s easy to use and helps us save money by reducing no-shows and making reservations more efficient.”

A Trusted Solution
As a Senior Director of Information Technology, reliability and efficiency are top priorities for any new software Lisa and her team put in place. Lisa has been with the property since before opening in 2018, and was familiar with b4’s solutions from experience at a prior hotel.

]]>The post Data Security Protects a Hotel Brand’s Reputation and Revenue: Part Two appeared first on b4.
]]>As outlined in our previous article, data security is essential to a hotel’s reputation and revenue. It protects you from cyber attacks that cause lasting harm to your reputation, incur compensatory damage, and increase your labor costs. We focus on security to keep you well-informed and prepared for potential risks.
In the previous article, we discussed the importance of securing card-not-present (CNP) transactions so that important financial data is not visible to employees or potential bad actors. Below, we outline the additional protections that our payment platform, TransForm, features to help secure your hotel’s reputation and revenue.
Two Types of Fraud
It’s important to differentiate between the two types of fraud from which you need protection. There’s traditional fraud – when a bad actor steals a credit card and makes a fraudulent purchase. And there is also “friendly fraud” – when a customer disputes a legitimate charge after the good or service has been provided, claiming it was not received or used, and seeks an illegitimate refund.
Fraud-Prevention Features in TransForm
Card-not-present payments taken by phone, fax, email, or text are all classified by credit card processors as lodging transactions, even when processed online. When processed using TransForm, they are instead classified as ecommerce transactions, which in itself provides you with additional security.
Transactions classified as ecommerce are more likely to win chargebacks even in some instances of ‘friendly fraud’, as the customer must input their financial data on their own and agree to your terms and conditions to instigate their fraudulent behaviour.
When a bad actor attempts to complete a fraudulent transaction, TransForm has built-in features to help mitigate your risk. You can customize a submission limit to set a cap on the total number of times someone can attempt to complete a transaction. Typically, this is set to three attempts, giving the guest three tries to correctly input the right card number, expiry date, verification code on the back of the card, and postal code. This blocks fraudsters who do not have the full data and are trying multiple times to submit a bogus payment and then claim a refund.
TransForm also allows you to set how many days prior to the scheduled arrival date your guest can submit their online payment. Fraudsters will often try to complete a payment with an unauthorized card as close to the arrival date as possible so that you don’t have time to verify the transaction before the refund claim is made. Limiting submissions to three days out can be highly effective at preventing this tactic.
These features are customizable to meet your operation’s needs and preferences, reducing fraud and helping protect your reputation and revenue.
After a Transaction is Complete
Our TransForm payment portal integrates directly with popular payment gateways that verify a cardholder’s information and tokenize the card details so that TransForm can pass that data into your property management system. The sensitive card data stays hidden, converted to randomly generated numbers, creating an encrypted ‘token’. The token has sole access to the detailed card information. This keeps sensitive card data secure from bad actors and potential fraud.
The tokenized credit card details are not stored at b4 but within your payment gateway. When integrated with your property management system (PMS), TransForm can also send the token into your PMS. Tokenization gives you access to – but not visibility into – credit card data, so you can easily manage additional charges later on.
Protection against fraud and cyberattacks
The encryption and tokenization of sensitive card details, secure pass-through of tokens into the PMS, and the built-in anti-fraud features make TransForm an essential tool to help safeguard you against cybersecurity risks.

]]>When it comes to cybersecurity, it’s not a matter of if, but when. All it takes is one breach to do lasting damage to your hotel’s reputation and revenue. Attacks on hotels are on the rise.
Imagine all the lost revenue from prospective travelers scared away from booking by such news; the damage to rate growth, with your brand reputation being compromised; and the extra work required by your IT and accounting teams to mitigate the crisis. This requires a thorough look at every hardware and software system for possible breaches.
A secure payment processing page like TransForm closes gaps in your cybersecurity. TransForm protects your guests’ credit card information from third-party access, securing your reputation and revenue.
What are Card-Not-Present (CNP) Transactions?
CNP transactions occur whenever a guest provides payment information without being physically present at your property. Examples include finalizing a reservation payment, settling outstanding charges after departure, and allocating funds to master accounts for group room blocks.
Historically, these CNP transactions happened over the phone or via fax (remember fax?). Some hotels updated their practices as technologies changed, asking for card information through email or text messages, or by insecure PDF attachments. Any of these approaches cause significant security vulnerabilities and challenges for your hotel:
- Staff members see complete card information
- Unauthorized third parties could access the exchange
- Storing data in these formats is a major security risk
The only person who should see credit card information is the credit card holder themselves. Our product, TransForm is the hotel industry leader for securing card-not-present (CNP) transactions.
How Does TransForm Secure Payments?
You allow guests to decide how they want to make their bookings — either through your website, by speaking to a reservation agent on the phone or through a third-party intermediary. No matter which channel they choose, once a credit card is required, TransForm can be used to send a private, customized payment link to the booker. The link gives them access to your secure payment portal, where they can personally enter their credit card details on their own time. TransForm integrates to your technology to pass the payment information to your gateway, and when interfaced, into your PMS.
What’s more, traditional CNP payments via phone, fax, email or text are all treated by credit card processors as lodging transactions. This means that they may incur higher processing fees to the merchant since they’re deemed to be riskier for fraud.
When you use our secure, PCI compliant portal all transactions are instead classified as ecommerce transactions by credit card processors, which reduces processing fees while also improving your likelihood of winning a chargeback dispute should one arise.
The benefits to your reputation are substantial. Traditional CNP methods (phone, email, text) open your hotel to unnecessary risk. TransForm provides several advantages:
- easy for guests to use
- passes tokenized, secure financial data to your PMS
- reduces processing fees & security vulnerability
- saves your team time and effort manually gathering payment data

]]>The post Combine Multiple Reservations into One Payment Request appeared first on b4.
]]>The future is frictionless. That’s the promise of technology — seamless connections between your online experience and the real-world experience at the hotel. Many hotels have made the process of creating a reservation frictionless — up until the booker must pay.
This is particularly the case when a single guest is handling multiple reservations outside of a room block.
- A corporate cardholder needs to pay for multiple hotel rooms occupied by members of the company who are staying at the same time or on an ongoing, repeat basis
- A family member needs to book multiple rooms for the whole family or additional guests
- A third party wishes to pay for related bookings or to make an installment payment on a master folio
In all these scenarios, too many hotels ask their guests to provide sensitive financial data via insecure methods, or they can’t pre-pay at all, frustrating guests and creating inefficiencies for your operation. A truly frictionless payment solution saves time for staff who don’t have time for manual payment administration.
It’s inconvenient for the guest as well and increases the chance that the customer won’t complete the transaction on the spot, or might miss a payment, requiring the hotel to send a reminder or follow up, wasting more time. For the manager processing transactions or completing reconciliations, an elegant and flexible solution is essential.
Handles Multiple Reservations in a Single Payment Request
Having all the individual charges or reservations itemized into a single request is best. Our payment platform, TransForm, integrates directly with your property management system. It then creates a unique payment link shareable directly with a guest via email. The link can require a single payment, or installments, and can ask for authorization to use the card for specified incidentals. It can be for a single booking or for multiple bookings.
Once the transaction is submitted, the tokenized credit card is saved in your PMS. This helps your hotel stay PCI-compliant: no one but the guest ever sees their credit card information, and you can still charge the card as needed for authorized incidentals.
Given all the other demands on your team, make getting paid easy and not a chore. Schedule a demo so that we can show you the specifics of how this feature works and help make frictionless payments a reality at your hotel.
