How It Works
HomeAway Connect has partnered with Payment Processing Inc. to provide the vacation rental credit card merchant account.
- Fill out Payment Processing Inc.'s online application. The application approval process typically takes 4-5 business days.
- Once you have been approved for your Payment Processing Inc. Merchant Account, you will receive access to your own Virtual Terminal. Your Virtual Terminal is an Internet-based tool that performs the same credit card processing functions as a physical Point-of-Sale terminal. Property owners and managers use this web-based service to manually key in credit card payment information that they have received over the phone, by fax or through the mail.
- You can access your Virtual Terminal through a secure log in page from any computer with Internet access. The Virtual Terminal is easy to use and funds are deposited directly to your bank account in 2-3 business days.
