Sharfin designed and built our new website to enable us to accept online payments. The new website looks amazing and navigating around it so simple compared to what we had before. Sharfin and his team have always been available when we have required any technical support or assistance.
Hotel website design with direct booking payments
Direct bookings on your own site with a deposit or full payment, so fewer rooms go through commission charging booking sites. Card payments through eCom Pay.
*Approval time depends on how quickly we receive your documents. Free website for trading businesses processing £5k a month or more through eCom Pay, with start-ups looked at case by case. Pay monthly from £50 otherwise.
Can hotel businesses take card payments online?
A hotel direct booking website lets guests check availability and book rooms on the hotel's own site, paying a deposit or the full stay at booking. eCom Pro builds hotel websites with eCom Pay card payments built in, so direct bookings settle next working day.

Paying commission on rooms guests would book direct?
Booking sites charge a commission on every room, including guests who already knew your name. A direct booking website with a better rate for booking direct wins those guests back.

Free for trading businesses above £5k a month in card revenue through eCom Pay, with start-ups looked at case by case. Pay monthly below it or for a custom build. Already have a site you like? Use our payments on their own.
Payments ready, vetted by our payments team
Before launch, the same people who handle your payments setup review your hotel website and ask for any changes your business needs. Every business is looked at individually, which is why we never publish a checklist and never build to one. The site and the application go through together.
One form starts both your website build and your eCom Pay application.
Our payments team reviews the site as it is built, so nothing is left to chance at launch.
Approved and taking payments in 24 hours* once your documents are in. Next working day settlement, no rolling reserve.
Done all our website. It now accepts payments and it was very complex. Reachable at all sorts of odd hours, and had a very simple journey with sharfin. Highly recommend them and their expertise.
Sharfin was an absolute pro. Took time to really try to understand our needs and propose solutions which fit our budget and timescales. He made smart suggestions without being pushy but improving the plan so we didn't waste time or resources on things we don't need.
Every hotel website we build is reviewed by the eCom Pay team before anything is submitted, so the pages a payment provider reads are right first time. That is why approval takes 24 hours once your documents are in, not weeks.
Hotel website and payment questions
The questions founders ask before they apply, including the ones about Stripe, PayPal and Shopify Payments.
How do hotel customers pay on the website?
Card, Apple Pay and Google Pay through eCom Pay, settled to you next working day with no rolling reserve. Deposits, balances and pay by link are available where your business needs them.
Can I take deposits?
Yes. Take a deposit at booking or checkout and the balance later, automatically or by pay by link, with cancellation terms built into the site.
Can I switch from my current payment provider?
Yes, without rebuilding. We connect eCom Pay alongside your current provider, test it, then switch over at a time you choose.
How long does approval take?
Approved and taking payments in 24 hours* once we have your documents. The only thing that slows approval is how quickly the documents come back.
Is the hotel website free?
Free for ecommerce businesses already trading and processing £5k a month or more in card revenue through eCom Pay. Start-ups are looked at case by case. Below that, pay monthly websites start at £50 a month plus VAT and include the same payments and review.
