Hotels Transformed: Gala Technology Merges with ORACLE OPERA Cloud, Redefining Payment Landscape

Gala Technology, a prominent player in payment technology and member of the Oracle Partner Network (OPN), proudly unveils its latest innovation: the integration of its renowned SOTpay platform with ORACLE OPERA Cloud. This integration revolutionises secure payment processing in the hospitality industry.

SOTpay, Gala Technology’s pioneering payment request platform, enables hotels to send secure payment requests directly from their ORACLE OPERA Cloud Property Management System (PMS). This integration offers a more streamlined payment process for advance bookings, outstanding balances, and event payments. It significantly reduces the risk of card fraud and lowers payment operation and card processing costs.

Affordability and Security: A New Era for Hotel Payments

Remarkably affordable, SOTpay starts at just £19.99 a month, making it a cost-effective solution for hotels aiming to mitigate fraud risks and enhance security. This pricing is especially compelling, considering it is less than the cost of one chargeback letter from a bank.

“We are thrilled about our integration with Oracle OPERA Cloud PMS,” says Jason Mace, CEO of Gala Technology. “Our goal is to assist hotels in offering a secure and enhanced payment experience. The prevalence of remote payments brings new fraud risks, and we are committed to safeguarding businesses and individuals. This integration with OPERA Cloud, marks a significant stride in our mission to fortify payment transactions.”

Chris Evans, Business Development Manager, emphasizes the solution’s benefits: “Integrating SOTpay with ORACLE OPERA Cloud is a transformative step for the hospitality industry. It directly addresses the need for secure and efficient payment processing in hotels, significantly reducing the risk of fraud and enhancing customer trust.”

Chief Technology Officer Steve Biggs says, “I’m proud to highlight our latest technological achievement. Our innovative integration with SOTpay is a testament to our technical expertise, especially in the realm of payment security. This advanced system enables hotels to process payments via telephone with unparalleled security, ensuring the payment journey is tracked without ever compromising sensitive card information. This sets a new industry standard. Moreover, our solution extends beyond telephony, offering the flexibility to accept card or bank payments through various other channels such as Email, SMS, WhatsApp, Live Web Chat, and all major social media commerce platforms. This versatility and security represent a significant leap forward in our technical capabilities
