How to Customize Mobile Check-Out Settings

Updated on

The Mobile Check-Out module allows hotels to offer a mobile check-out experience for guests on their day of departure. With Mobile Check-Out, hotels can prompt departing guests to review & sign a Mobile Check-Out Form (AKA virtual Guest Folio/Bill), as well as the option of providing new credit card* information or settlement to the existing payment method on file.

*A credit card interface is required. Some restrictions may apply, please see the CC Integration Tab information below.

If you manually process credit cards outside of the RoomKeyPMS database, an advertisement for RoomKeyPMS Payments will appear in the Mobile Check-Out CC Integration tab.
