Process Payments with BASYS

BASYS is our preferred payment processor due to their great rates, extremely fast payouts, and excellent live customer support. They are a smaller owned company that treats their customers like family which made them a great fit to be integrated with Firefly. Follow this guide to get started processing payments directly in Firefly using BASYS.

Set up a BASYS account

If you are already connected to a payment processor in Firefly and you switch to BASYS, existing payment methods on file will no longer work so you must re-add payment methods on file (credit cards, bank accounts) for each reservation in order to process payments using the payment method on file.

First, you will need to set up an account with BASYS. To do so, log in to Firefly and click Settings Property. Click on the Payments tab at the top, and click the Create an account with BASYS link.

This will take you to the BASYS website where you will fill out a form to initiate the process of setting up an account. BASYS will contact you to gather all the required information in order to set up your account.

If you have a processor already, you can optionally upload your current merchant statement and BASYS will analyze what you are paying now, and compare it side-by-side with what you would be paying with BASYS.

Connect to your BASYS account

Once BASYS has contacted your and set up your BASYS account, they will send you a parameter sheet which contains your public and private API keys. Contact Basys if you have not received this email. 

You can then open Firefly, and go to Settings > Property, and on the Payments tab, click Connect.
