Oracle Payments Cloud Service

What Oracle Payments Cloud Service is

Oracle Payments Cloud Service is a web-based payment solution for hotels and restaurants. It accepts debit and credit cards, Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, and Google Pay, with workflows for deposits, preauthorizations, bar tabs, contactless payments, dynamic currency conversion, pay-at-table transactions, and receipt printing. The service supports card-present, online, tableside, and mobile payments. Tokenization supports card-data processing, and Oracle says transactions are routed through end-to-end encryption and comply with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard. In OPERA Cloud, Pay by Link can be activated and configured with deposit rules and email templates. Oracle also provides a reconciliation workflow for comparing card revenue posted in OPERA Cloud PMS with amounts processed, settled, and paid out through Oracle Payments. Oracle says hospitality experts help with deployment and a single support team is available 24/7/365. Pricing is described as flat-rate, pay-as-you-go, and month to month, with no long-term contracts, additional service or convenience fees, or monthly minimums; no numeric rate is shown. The service is currently available in the United States and United Kingdom.
