Greater Noida: RateGain Travel Technologies Limited, a global leader of AI powered SaaS solutions for the travel and hospitality industry, announced that UNO, RateGain’s direct commerce platform for hotels, has integrated global payment platform Stripe to strengthen cross-border payment capabilities within the UNO Booking Engine on Friday.
As travelers increasingly expect seamless, secure, and flexible ways to pay when booking hotels online, checkout
experience has emerged as a critical driver of conversion and trust, particularly for hotels serving an international
guest base. This partnership addresses one of the most critical moments in the booking journey: payment completion.
Stripe enables businesses to accept, process, and manage online payments securely across currencies and
geographies. With a strong global presence, Stripe allows UNO to embed enterprise-grade payment capabilities
directly into the booking journey, supporting multiple payment methods such as cards and digital wallets, while
ensuring flexibility, reliability and compliance across markets.
The UNO Booking Engine is designed to help hotels grow direct bookings by delivering a seamless, brand-owned
booking experience that builds guest confidence from discovery to payment.
By integrating Stripe into the UNO Booking Engine, hotels can better serve international travelers booking from
different countries and payment environments, without adding operational complexity. The result is a smoother
checkout experience that helps reduce drop-offs, improve payment completion, and strengthen direct
relationships between hotels and their guests.
“The most successful hotel brands today are prioritizing the checkout experience as a core part of their direct
booking strategy,” said Ashish Sikka, Business Head, UNO Platforms, RateGain. “With Stripe integrated into the
UNO Booking Engine, hotels can confidently serve global demand while maintaining full control of their direct
channel, from discovery to payment.”
Integrating Stripe further advances UNO’s Direct Stack vision, bringing together demand, booking, distribution,
and payments into a single, scalable platform designed to help hotels compete more effectively, reduce reliance on
intermediaries, and grow their direct business globally.
