It offers security in case the guest can\u2019t pay at the end of the stay.<\/p>\n<p id=\"eb47\">A hotel may not want to charge a guest for a tour, experience, or transfer before they receive the service. Pre-authorising the amount gives surety that the vendor can be paid in advance, knowing the balance will still be settled through the guest\u2019s card.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:heading --><!-- wp:paragraph {\"kioblocks\":[]} --><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph {\"kioblocks\":[]} --><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph {\"kioblocks\":[]} --><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph {\"kioblocks\":[]} --><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph {\"kioblocks\":[]} --><\/p>\n<p id=\"fa41\">In short, being able to pre-authorise a stay on a card through an embedded payment solution such as\u00a0Kovena, ensures the hotel has cashflow and can help reduce no-shows as well.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A pre-authorisation allows a hotel to place a hold on a sum of money on a&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":2759,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"kk_blocks_editor_width":"","_kiokenblocks_attr":"","_kiokenblocks_dimensions":""},"categories":[40,36],"tags":[29,25],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.11 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>What are the Benefits of Pre-authorisations for Hotels? - Kovena<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Does your hotel need to have pre-authorisations?
