Card Payments Without the Paperwork
We open your PayPerCut merchant account from inside HotPilot — guests pay on a hosted, 3DS-secured checkout and every direct booking settles straight to your hotel.
The Problem
Opening a Merchant Account Shouldn't Take Weeks
Acquirer application forms, KYC email ping-pong, a developer to wire up the gateway — and until all of it is done, your direct bookings can't take cards. Most hotels give up and route revenue through someone else's account.
The Solution
Onboard Once, Get Paid Directly
HotPilot opens your PayPerCut merchant account for you: business details, people, bank account and documents entered once, inside your admin. Guests pay on a hosted checkout with automatic 3DS, and funds settle straight to you — refunds included.
Features
From Application to Payout, Handled
Your Merchant Account, Opened for You
Fill in your business details, people, bank account and documents once — HotPilot submits your PayPerCut application and tracks verification until you're approved. No developer setup, no acquirer paperwork on your desk.
Guests Pay on a Secure, Hosted Page
Card details are entered on PayPerCut's hosted checkout, so the PCI burden stays off your plate. 3D Secure runs automatically whenever it's required, and declined cards get clear, guest-friendly messages instead of dead ends.
Get Paid on Phone and Email Bookings Too
Send a secure payment link from any booking — perfect for phone reservations, deposits and outstanding balances. The guest pays on the same hosted checkout, and the booking updates itself the moment the money lands.
Money to Your Hotel, Refunds in a Click
Charges settle straight to your own account — no third-party balance to sweep. Full or partial refunds fire from the booking in HotPilot, are protected against double-clicks, and land in the audit trail. Test everything in sandbox first, go live once you're verified.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about taking payments with PayPerCut.
Online
Processing fees follow your PayPerCut merchant agreement — they are set and billed by PayPerCut, not HotPilot, and HotPilot adds no markup on top of your payments.
Online
Yes. Card details are entered on PayPerCut's hosted checkout page, so sensitive data never touches HotPilot's servers, and 3D Secure / SCA is applied automatically whenever it's required.
Online
You fill in one guided wizard in your HotPilot admin — business details, people and ownership, bank account, documents. HotPilot submits the application to PayPerCut and tracks verification; live payments switch on as soon as your account is approved, and sandbox is available immediately.
Online
Issue a full or partial refund directly from the booking in HotPilot. The refund is sent to PayPerCut instantly and the booking's payment history updates automatically — no need to log in to a separate gateway dashboard.
Online
Absolutely — onboarding is sandbox-first. Run test bookings, payment links and refunds end-to-end against the PayPerCut sandbox, then switch to live once your merchant account is verified. Most hotels finish in minutes.
Online
Yes. PayPerCut sits alongside Stripe, Revolut, Borica, myPOS and EveryPay in HotPilot. Each property picks its own gateway, so a group can run PayPerCut at one hotel and keep another gateway elsewhere.
