One platform from Flywire: digital contracts, deposit collection, multi-currency settlement, and automated reconciliation for hotels, tour operators, DMCs (destination management companies), and boutique accommodations worldwide.
THE PROBLEM
Travel payments are uniquely complex - and that complexity has a cost.
Every gap between contract and payment is a booking at risk. Unsigned agreements, uncollected deposits, missed authorizations - the cost compounds before a single guest checks in.
Pain point | What it's costing you |
|---|---|
Guest friction | Disjointed payment experiences erode trust at the exact moment guests are most engaged. |
Lost bookings | Unsigned contracts and uncollected deposits mean revenue walks out the door before arrival. |
Operational inefficiencies | Manual reconciliation across currencies and properties — constant context-switching between systems that don't talk to each other. |
Limited global reach | Scaling internationally means juggling multi-vendor orchestration and FX (foreign exchange) exposure you shouldn't have to carry. |
No single source of truth | No connected view from signed contract to settled payment. Cash flow visibility always lags. |

Frequently asked questions
What is Flywire, and how does it work for travel businesses?
Flywire is a global payment and software platform built specifically for travel and hospitality operators. It manages the full payment lifecycle, from digital contracts and pre-arrival deposits to multi-currency collection, FX settlement, and automated reconciliation, in a single platform that integrates directly into the property management and CRM systems travel businesses already use, including Oracle OPERA Cloud, Amadeus Delphi, and Salesforce.
How does Flywire handle foreign exchange (FX) risk?
Flywire takes on the FX risk so you don't have to. Your guests pay in their own currency (dollars, pounds, euros, whatever) and you receive exactly what you invoiced, in your currency. Most processors leave you exposed to rate movements between booking and settlement. Flywire doesn't. Flywire also offers a Best Price Guarantee on local currency bank transfers: if a guest finds a better rate at their bank within two hours of booking, Flywire will match it.
Does Flywire replace our existing property management system (PMS) or CRM?
No. Flywire integrates with your existing PMS and CRM. It does not replace them. Native integrations are available for Oracle OPERA Cloud, Amadeus Delphi, Salesforce, Mews, Cloudbeds, and additional platforms. Flywire adds payment collection, FX handling, and automated reconciliation on top of your existing stack. No rip-and-replace required.
How does Flywire compare to Stripe, WeTravel, or Airwallex for travel payments?
Stripe is built for e-commerce and SaaS — great for those use cases, but travel is different. You're collecting deposits months before arrival, getting contracts signed, and reconciling high-value multi-currency bookings into a PMS. Flywire covers that contract-to-settlement lifecycle natively, with integrations into the systems hotels and operators already run. WeTravel suits smaller group travel with lighter workflow needs. Airwallex and PayGate handle multi-currency collection but lack the hospitality-specific workflow layer — contracts, deposit management, and PMS reconciliation — that Flywire covers out of the box.
How is Flywire priced for travel operators?
Flywire's pricing for travel operators combines platform software fees with transaction-based payment processing. The software component is structured as a recurring subscription based on the modules implemented (contract management, payment collection, reconciliation). Payment processing fees vary by transaction type, currency, and payment method. Flywire replaces hidden correspondent bank fees and multi-party FX conversion costs with transparent, predictable pricing. Contact Flywire for a custom quote based on booking volume, currency mix, and integration requirements.
How long does it take to implement Flywire for a travel business?
Implementation depends on how deeply Flywire integrates into your existing stack. There are three main paths: Pay-by-Link is the fastest — a custom payment portal that can be up and running quickly with no technical development required. Checkout embed drops Flywire's payment flow into your existing booking or invoicing workflow with minimal configuration. Full API or PMS-native integration (Oracle OPERA Cloud, Amadeus Delphi, Mews, Salesforce, and others) takes longer but connects payment collection directly into your existing systems. All three are supported by Flywire's dedicated travel implementation team throughout the process.
Is Flywire secure? What compliance certifications does it hold?
Flywire holds PCI DSS Level 1 certification, the most stringent level for credit card data security, with annual third-party audits. SOC II Type II compliance is reviewed annually by an external auditor. Data is encrypted with AES-256 at rest and TLS 1.3 in transit. Flywire complies with GDPR, PIPEDA, and GLBA for data protection across its operating regions, and maintains comprehensive AML (Anti-Money Laundering) and CTF (Counter-Terrorist Financing) programs as required by global regulators. Flywire was named to the PCI Security Standards Council 2025–2027 Board of Advisors.
