OwnerRez offers many different payment processing options, including the ability to accept credit cards. However, we are not a credit card processor ourselves. We integrate with many industry-standard processors and gateways, allowing you to choose your preferred processor and connect and process your guests' credit cards seamlessly.
ClearView simplifies payments for vacation rentals, RV parks, and boutique stays, with low fees and an easy setup process. While automatic deposits are unavailable with ClearView, they are considered an OwnerRez Integrated Partner, and voids, refunds, and security deposit holds are supported.
Setup & Connecting ClearView
OwnerRez connects with ClearView via the "API Credentials" model, the same as most of the processor and gateway options we integrate with. Like the other processors and gateways, you'll need to start your ClearView merchant application or log in to your ClearView account, find the API credentials, and copy them into OwnerRez in order to complete the integration.
Navigate to Settings > Financial > Payment Methods > + Connect a Payment Method > Integrated Partners > Connect ClearView.
If you haven't done so yet, start your ClearView merchant application by clicking on the link on the ClearView Payment Method. Once you've clicked to connect the ClearView payment method in OwnerRez, you will notice that we ask you for a set of two fields, called "API Credentials", at the top of the page:
- Login ID
- Transaction Key
If you already have a ClearView account, enter your Login ID and Transaction Key that ClearView has provided to you.
After entering your Login ID and Transaction Key, test your API Credentials.
Select your Accepted Card Types, enter your credit card Statement Text, select which Properties you want ClearView to use, and Save.

Testing
After entering the Login ID and Transaction Key in OwnerRez, verify your credentials using the Test API Credentials button.
Click 'Run Test' to confirm the test. This sends a request to ClearView with your API credentials. OwnerRez checks ClearView's response to see if it looks right. If the test succeeded, you will see a confirmation.
To test your integration, do a test transaction with a real credit card. Create a manual booking, collect a small payment (around $5), then void the payment using the Void & Delete option, and cancel or delete the booking. This confirms everything works correctly.
ClearView has a test mode, which will react to OwnerRez card requests and provide responses, but not process any charges. OwnerRez cannot know that your ClearView account is in this mode. So, if you activate the ClearView test mode, OwnerRez will merrily proceed to "charge" your guests, and think it is really collecting money, while in fact no charges are made and nothing is collected. Confirm that your ClearView account is not in test mode except when you are testing it!
