ZaK - Setting up a Payment Gateway

If your reservation is guaranteed by Credit Card, ZaK allows you to easily charge it. Moreover, it allows you to request immediate payment to your guests. In order to do that, it is necessary to enable the Gateway payment system. So first you need to configure one or more payment gateways in the following section:

↳ Link: ZaK > Settings > Configurations > Payment Gateways


Here click on the + at the top right, choose which gateway to configure and enter the required data. This data is to be retrieved directly from the gateway and allows ZaK to identify the profile to which the transfer should be made:



Currently the available gateways are 8: Stripe, PayPal, Nexi, MercadoPago, Yandex, PayZen, Redsys and the generic gateway ZaK Connect. To enable the service, first you need to have an account with one of them at least.


Once set up a gateway, you can use it to request payments and guarantees directly from your guests. For this purpose, we recommend that you read the following documentation on Guarantee Methods, you will find all the options that ZaK offers:
