Net Affinity is excited to announce the launch of its expanded product suite for 2025 – Smart Payments and Smart Channel Manager.

These innovative solutions are created to support the modern needs of hoteliers, addressing the growing complexities around payment processing, channel distribution and real-time availability management. Designed to assist with admin, minimise errors and create more revenue opportunities, they put automation and intelligence at the centre of your operations.

This launch represents a major milestone for both Net Affinity and the hotels it supports. As Net Affinity begins to operate with a stronger, integrated tech stack with wider functionality, the new tools will save hoteliers valuable time, reduce complexity and offer true value from day one.

Effortless hotel payments with Net Affinity’s Smart Payments

Many hotels still manage payments through a patchwork of disconnected systems, which requires teams to manually enter card details, chase payments and reconcile transactions over different platforms.

Instead, Smart Payments transforms this into one streamlined, secure and fully automated process – supporting every stage of the guest journey, no matter what Property Management System (PMS) or booking policies you use.

With features including:

  • Payment page: Fully integrated with your booking engine for a seamless guest experience.
  • Automatic VCC charges: Eliminate manual intervention and reduce human error.
  • Payment links: Send secure links directly to guests, speeding up the payment process and boosting conversion.
  • PIN terminals: Fully integrated terminals for on-site payments, linked to your ecommerce system for effortless reconciliation.
  • Expert support: Our payment consultants are always on hand to guide your team and ensure best practice.

This future-ready solution streamlines operations, improves cash flow and enhances the guest experience.

Real-time control across every channel with Net Affinity’s Smart Channel Manager

Rate parity, channel restrictions and last-room availability management are just some of the everyday challenges hoteliers face while juggling multiple OTAs, GDS platforms and direct booking tools.

Smart Channel Manager gives you back control – consolidating all your channels into one powerful platform and allowing you to update rates, availability and restrictions in real time.

Benefits include:

  • Real-time updates: Maximise every room sale while ensuring your direct channel always takes priority.
  • Rule-based pricing: Implement strategies that optimise last-room availability and prevent overbookings.
  • Boost visibility: Showcase your property across top-performing global channels to expand reach.
  • Reduce manual tasks: Less admin, more time to focus on guest experience.
  • Integrated support: Our team works closely with you to craft the right distribution strategy.

We’re delivering a more robust, scalable and connected offering that empowers hotels to move faster, operate smarter and grow with confidence – whether you’re a current client or discovering Net Affinity for the first time.

With our enhanced solutions now available to all clients, we’re not just evolving our tech – we’re expanding our ability to support hoteliers across every aspect of their operation. From cutting admin to maximising reach and unlocking new efficiencies, our mission remains the same, to empower you to do more, with less.

So, if you’re looking to reduce manual tasks, increase automation and future-proof your hotel’s digital infrastructure, these products are built with you in mind.
