Octorate vs Oracle Payments Cloud Service

Octorate is a cloud hospitality platform for managing reservations and property operations across hotels, B&Bs, vacation rentals, hostels, campsites and other properties. Its PMS, Channel Manager and Booking Engine bring operational and booking tools together. The Channel Manager syncs rates, availability, content, messages and restrictions across Booking.com, Airbnb, Expedia and other channels. The Booking Engine supports direct website bookings with real-time availability, multilingual checkout and secure payments; the site advertises 0% commissions. OctoAgent handles guest messages on WhatsApp, email, OTA channels and phone around the clock, escalating requests with a priority and deadline. Its iOS and Android app covers reservations, calendars, rates, availability, check-in tasks, vouchers and daily operations. Octorate also lists payment processing, cleaning management and dynamic pricing. It provides API documentation and integration resources, and describes payment flows as PCI-DSS compliant, with PSD2/SCA and 3D Secure. The plans include a 14-day trial and no free plan. Pricing is on request; the Basic plan is listed from €8 per room per month, an example price for seven units.

Oracle Payments Cloud Service handles payments for hotels and restaurants through the web. It accepts debit and credit cards, Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, and Google Pay, and supports card-present, online, mobile, and tableside payments. Workflows include deposit and preauthorization rules, bar tabs, contactless payments, dynamic currency conversion, pay-at-table payments, and receipt printing. Tokenization supports card-data processing; Oracle says transactions use end-to-end encryption and the service complies with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard. In OPERA Cloud, Pay by Link can be enabled and configured with deposit rules and email templates. A reconciliation workflow compares card revenue posted in OPERA Cloud PMS with amounts processed, settled, and paid out through Oracle Payments. Oracle describes pricing as flat-rate, pay-as-you-go, month-to-month, without long-term contracts, additional service or convenience fees, or monthly minimums, but lists no numeric rate. The service is available in the United States and United Kingdom. Oracle says hospitality experts assist with deployment and customers have a single support team available 24/7/365.
