Payment Processor Options

Being able to process credit cards online so you can capture payments at the time a customer is willing to pay. Firefly allows you to collect a deposit amount of your choosing at the time the guest makes a reservation.

For new customers, Firefly offers two payment processing integrations. Two recommended processors: BASYS and Fiserv

What is the difference between the two payment processing companies? 

  • Fiserv is one of our preferred payment processor partnership. Our customers get excellent rates, and a quick business approval process, fast funding, and 24/7 support.
  • BASYS is one of our preferred payment processor partnerships. They offer competitive rates and quick setups. They have very good personal support and account management. 

If you have created your account with BASYS or Fiserv and are ready to connect within Firefly, go to Settings > Property > Payments & Charges tab, here.

CAUTION: If considering a change in payment processors, payment methods on file with your existing processor will not transfer to the new processor. All payment methods on file must be removed and added again once connected with the new processor.

Also, payments taken through the previous processor may not be refunded through the new processor. These refunds may only be completed by cash, check, or reservation credit. You may have refund options directly through your previous processor but will have to connect with them to confirm available options.
