The difference

From manual card handling to effortless payments

Without Pay by Link

  • Staff key in card numbers by hand — slow and error-prone.
  • Sensitive card data is exposed at the front desk.
  • Deposits are chased and posted manually.
  • Check-in is slowed by payment admin at arrival.
  • Prepayments are hard to match and reconcile.

With Pay by Link

  • Guests pay via a secure link; cards are tokenised by FreedomPay.
  • No card data is ever stored or seen by your staff.
  • Deposits are created and posted automatically in OPERA Cloud.
  • Payment is settled before arrival for a faster check-in.
  • Every transaction is linked to the right profile and reservation.

Capabilities

Everything Pay by Link does

Seamless OPERA Cloud integration

Payment links are built into OPERA Cloud Stationery for a quick, user-friendly process.

Flexible payment policies

Works with or without predefined OPERA Cloud policies — and applies the highest-value policy automatically when active.

Custom deposits

Take a fixed amount or a percentage of the stay, temporarily overriding the default policy — existing policies stay untouched.

Automated deposit management

Deposits are created and managed inside OPERA Cloud, cutting manual effort and errors.

Profile association & update

Cancellations with prepayment handling

Cancel reservations with FreedomPay prepayments in line with your cancellation policy.

Secured by FreedomPay

Payments are processed and secured by FreedomPay; no card data is stored or accessed by staff or developers.

Security first

Payments your guests can trust

Card security isn’t a feature — it’s the foundation. Pay by Link routes every transaction through FreedomPay, so sensitive card data never lands in OPERA Cloud, on your network, or in front of your staff.
