In industries like hospitality and dining where reservations are prevalent, cancellations pose numerous challenges. Issues range from customers who fail to turn up, to the onerous task of charging cancellation fees, and the problem of unpaid fees despite billing.
Payn launched in October 2022 in response to these challenges, automating the process of charging and collecting cancellation fees.
Since its launch, the company has been developing various features and integrating with reservation management services across different industries. This has led to a steady rise in its adoption among various businesses, particularly in the hospitality and dining sectors.
