It would be great to allow guests to pay with Apple Pay.
A widget to add to our websites would be great.
I agree. It is becoming more and a preferred way to pay by many Apple users. I know I will leave a site sometimes if it does not allow Apple Pay. I know others who have told me the same.
It is my understanding ApplePay is preferred by most consumers AND it helps hosts better in deterring chargebacks.
I would think for those of us using Authorize.NET this should be a pretty simple add on for OwnerRez.

We would just need a little integration work.
Lynnbrook Group (one of OR's 2 recommended partners for payment processing) offers mobile wallet for payment. However because OR does not support mobile wallets, this offering is not available to us as OR users.
PLEASE add this capability so that your recommended payment processor can be utilized to its fullest.
And Google pay please.
I'd like to add my voice to the requests for Apple Pay integration.
Here in the UK, Apple Pay has become very mainstream. A large proportion of guests – especially those booking higher-end accommodation – are using iPhones, and Apple Pay is now a very normal, expected way to pay online.
From a direct booking perspective, it would make a meaningful difference for a few reasons:
– It reduces friction at checkout. Holiday bookings are high-value transactions, and anything that simplifies payment improves completion rates. Apple Pay removes the need to manually enter card details, particularly on mobile.
– It increases guest confidence. Because guests are taken off our main website to complete payment, maintaining trust at that stage is crucial. Seeing Apple Pay available immediately reassures people that the checkout is modern and secure.
– It supports mobile bookings. More and more guests browse and book on their phones. Apple Pay turns what could be a multi-step form into just a few seconds of confirmation.
I see Apple Pay is listed on the OwnerRez website as “coming soon” under Paypal, which is very encouraging.

Could you please share when it is expected to become available, particularly for Stripe users in the UK? Even an indicative timeframe would be extremely helpful for planning.
I really value how customisable and flexible OwnerRez is, and appreciate that development priorities must be balanced carefully. But from a UK direct-booking perspective, Apple Pay now feels commercially important rather than simply a nice addition.
Thank you for a super service otherwise!
