You can choose your preferred processor, and OwnerRez will connect and process your guest's credit cards seamlessly.

Powertranz, formerly First Atlantic Commerce or FAC, enables local credit card payments across multiple locations and supports many currencies, voids, refunds, refundable damage deposits, and security deposit holds.

FAQs

Does this integration between OwnerRez and Powertranz support 3DS payments?

Yes, the OwnerRez integration with Powertranz does support 3D Secure (3DS) payments.  Powertranz supports 3D Secure authentication through its connected acquiring and processing network, which covers banks and processors across the Caribbean, Central America, and other supported markets.

However, 3D Secure eligibility is ultimately determined on a per-guest, per-card, per-issuing-bank basis. When a transaction is submitted for 3DS authentication, the guest's card issuing bank and card range determine whether the card supports 3DS authentication. If the card range does not support 3DS, the transaction can be identified accordingly and processed as a non-3DS transaction. The availability of 3DS authentication for a particular card depends on the card issuer and the card's 3DS capability.

Wondering if you can accept 3D Secure (3DS) payments? Contact Powertranz directly to verify by asking the following.

  • Does my bank support 3DS?
  • If so, please enable 3DS on my account.

Powertranz will confirm whether your banking partner supports 3DS and make sure it is enabled on your account.
