RateGain Travel Technologies has entered a strategic partnership with Razorpay, a leading payments and banking platform, to revolutionise digital hotel payments across India. This collaboration integrates Razorpay’s secure and flexible payment gateway directly into RateGain’s hotel booking engine, empowering hotels to offer guests a seamless, frictionless, and highly flexible digital payment experience. With the Indian travel and hospitality sector rapidly digitising and projected to reach $125 billion by 2027, this move comes at a critical time when over 70% of hotel bookings are expected to be made online, highlighting the need for secure and intelligent payment solutions.
Through this integration, hotels using RateGain’s booking engine can now offer a comprehensive suite of digital payment options, including UPI, mobile wallets, credit and debit cards, net banking, EMI options, and Pay Later services. These payment methods are available for both domestic and international guests, catering to the growing demand for smooth, flexible, and secure digital transactions. The partnership is designed to enhance the guest experience by reducing checkout friction and offering multiple payment choices, which is expected to drive higher conversion rates and maximise hotel revenue.
For hoteliers, the collaboration delivers significant operational efficiencies. The integration offers real-time transaction tracking, automated settlement reports, and consolidated dashboards, streamlining financial reconciliation and reducing manual workload. Razorpay’s platform is compliant with PCI DSS Level 1 and SOC 3 standards and features advanced fraud detection tools, ensuring robust transaction security. As part of RateGain’s AI-led strategy, the partnership also enables smarter automation, supporting faster decision-making and further improving the guest journey.
Industry leaders from both companies have emphasised the strategic impact of the partnership. Yogeesh Chandra, Chief Strategy Officer at RateGain, highlighted that the integration not only simplifies guest experiences but also gives hoteliers a competitive edge by enabling flexible payment options and smarter automation. Rahul Kothari, Chief Operating Officer at Razorpay, noted that as the hospitality industry embraces digital transformation, secure and seamless payment solutions are more critical than ever, and this partnership brings together deep industry expertise with cutting-edge technology to empower hotels nationwide.
