Booking

Upon booking materialization, a payment guarantee to the hotel and a commission guarantee to the travel agent are triggered.

Payments

Katanox Capital advances the payment to the hotel and pays the commission to the travel agent in daily batches.

3

Settlement

The travel agent settles all advanced transactions, including applicable fees, monthly via a direct debit process.

“I wish the front desk never had to deal with payments at all. They could just stand there, smile, welcome guests, and provide great service. I think Katanox is our first shot at actually making that a reality.”
