FAQs

Travel & hospitality — frequently asked

How do I price travel bookings in a guest's home currency?

Convert your fare or room rate at a live central-bank rate for the guest's detected currency, with staleness reported. Travellers book from everywhere, and showing a familiar currency reduces the hesitation that loses a booking.

Which payment methods should a travel site offer by country?

The ones a guest trusts at home. Each market's profile ranks local payment methods by real use, so a booking flow can surface what converts in the guest's country rather than a single card form.

How do I reduce chargebacks on high-value bookings?

Screen risky bookings before they settle. BIN-versus-IP mismatch and anonymity signals on high-value or last-minute reservations flag the transactions worth a second look, cutting the chargebacks that hurt travel margins most.
