PCI-DSS is a standard that regulates the processing of customer card data. Up to now, hotel companies have been rather lax in complying with this standard, and card data are not processed correctly in the vast majority of cases.
At Whin, we have ensured that our customers can comply with the regulations in a strict manner with just a few simple steps, both for direct channel bookings and for all others in the case of PMS or Channel Manager customers.
PCI-DSS compliance with Whin also has an operational advantage: card data does not have to be entered manually in the dataphone and, in addition, it allows us to automate processing with a payment robot, whether validations, charges or refunds.

As we said, compliance is very easy for our clients, it just takes 4 simple steps.
Compliance is easy with Whin:
- Ask your bank to operate your virtual POS with a non-webservice card. Whin supports Redsys and Addon Payments platforms, among others.
- Your bank will send you a self-assessment questionnaire (SAQ) that we will help you complete. Once the hotel's operations have been validated, the bank will inform us that you can now operate via webservice.
- With the bank's authorisation we can now configure Whin to operate directly with its banking platform. There is no need to work manually with the card data, nor to have them in sight, Whin will connect directly with your bank to process card transactions.
Complying with PCI-DSS is simple, cost-effective and will also save you time in managing your bookings.
