About Fortis

A payment processing platform for reservation and car rental software integrations

Fortis is an embedded payments and payment processing platform designed to connect card payments, ACH payments and transaction management directly with websites, reservation systems, car rental software, eCommerce platforms, ERP systems and other business applications. Its API-first approach gives software providers such as VEVS the flexibility to integrate a payment gateway into the complete booking, rental and customer-management workflow.

Embedded Payment Processing

Fortis Elements can place a customizable payment experience directly inside a car rental website, booking engine or reservation software application.

Payment Gateway API Integration

Fortis provides APIs and developer tools for connecting payment processing directly with third-party car rental software, reservation systems and business workflows.

Credit & Debit Card Payments

Support online credit and debit card payment processing as part of the car rental reservation, deposit or checkout process.

ACH

ACH & Bank Payments

Bank-account and ACH payment workflows can be supported alongside card payments and other enabled payment methods.

Card Tokenization

Secure payment tokens can represent stored payment methods for later rental charges, deposits or balances without VEVS storing raw card credentials.

Recurring & Follow-up Payments

Fortis provides recurring-payment capabilities for rental, leasing and other workflows involving repeated, scheduled or follow-up transactions.

Payment Links & Balance Collection

Paylinks can be used to collect rental balances, deposits, extensions, additional charges or other payment requests by email or text.

In-Person & Counter Payments

Fortis also supports card-present and cloud-connected EMV terminal scenarios for rental desks, branches and other physical payment locations.

Built for Software Integration

Payment processing built into car rental and reservation software

Fortis provides developer APIs, SDKs, code samples, sandbox testing and an API console for payment gateway integrations. This allows VEVS to connect payment processing directly with car rental reservations, deposits, merchant accounts, booking confirmations and later payment actions instead of treating the payment provider as a disconnected external step.

The VEVS Solution

Fortis payment processing connected with the reservation workflow

SeaTac Park & Fly did not need to replace its selected payment provider or merchant account. VEVS developed a custom payment gateway integration around the client's reservation, checkout and payment processing requirements—the same approach we can use for car rental software and other reservation-based businesses.

1

Customer starts the reservation

The customer selects a vehicle and rental dates, then provides the required contact and driver information through the VEVS reservation process.

2

VEVS creates the payment context

The reservation software prepares the amount, booking reference and customer information required by the payment provider so the transaction remains connected to the correct reservation.

3

Fortis processes the card or online payment

The custom payment gateway integration connects the booking process with the client's Fortis merchant environment for the required online payment, deposit, authorization or other supported transaction flow.

4

Payment stays connected to the reservation

Instead of managing a booking and payment transaction as unrelated records, the payment workflow remains associated with the corresponding reservation for easier payment tracking and reservation management.

5

Customer receives confirmation

The completed reservation continues through the normal VEVS confirmation process, giving the customer a connected journey from search to paid booking.

Advanced Payment Workflows

Car rental payment processing can go beyond a one-time checkout

Depending on the Fortis merchant configuration, enabled payment services and individual business requirements, VEVS can evaluate advanced car rental payment workflows around reservations, deposits, security authorizations, later balances, refunds and additional charges.

Online & Embedded Car Rental Payments

Build payment processing directly into the car rental booking engine or reservation journey instead of sending customers through disconnected payment systems.

  • Credit and debit card payment processing
  • Embedded payment forms inside the booking process
  • Rental deposits and advance payments
  • ACH and digital wallet options where available

Stored Payment Methods & Card-on-File Workflows

Use secure tokenization to support permitted future rental payment operations without storing raw card details in VEVS Car Rental Software.

  • Secure payment tokens
  • Customer payment profiles
  • Later rental balances or additional charges
  • Reduced need for customers to re-enter payment data

Payment Transaction Management

Design payment workflows around the transaction lifecycle required by a car rental company or reservation business.

  • Payment authorization and security deposits
  • Capture / completion
  • Full or partial refund workflows
  • Additional rental transactions where supported

Payments Beyond the Initial Booking

Fortis supports payment processing scenarios that can extend into vehicle pickup, rental extensions, additional balances and later stages of the customer relationship.

  • Payment links and Paylinks
  • Recurring payments
  • Cloud-connected EMV terminals
  • Multi-merchant configurations

Available functions depend on the client's Fortis account, merchant configuration, payment methods, compliance requirements and the specific workflow implemented by VEVS.

Example

Car rental payments can continue after the initial online booking

Car rental companies often need more flexibility than a basic “pay once” transaction. Fortis APIs can support payment workflows that continue after the original reservation, including later balances, rental extensions, additional charges, refunds and other permitted transactions, subject to the merchant configuration and implemented payment rules.

A

Initial reservation payment or deposit

The customer makes the booking and completes the required online payment, rental deposit or advance payment.

B

Secure payment token

Where configured, the payment method can be represented by a secure token rather than storing raw card credentials in the reservation system.

C

Additional rental balance or payment request

If another legitimate payment is required—for example a remaining balance, rental extension or additional service—the business can use an appropriate transaction workflow or send a separate payment link.

D

Refund when required

Refund operations can be connected to the original transaction according to the merchant setup and integration requirements.

Why It Matters

Keep your payment provider. Connect it to your car rental software.

Changing payment processors, merchant accounts or payment service providers simply because car rental software does not support the existing setup can create unnecessary work and cost. A custom payment gateway integration lets the booking technology adapt around the business.

Keep your payment provider Avoid changing a working payment processor or merchant relationship just to accommodate the car rental reservation platform.
Connected reservation & payment data Keep payment transactions, deposits and refund workflows associated with the car rental reservations they belong to.
Better customer journey Move customers from selection to payment and confirmation through one coordinated process.
Flexible car rental payment logic Build around deposits, full payments, pay-later balances, authorizations, captures, refunds and other required payment stages.
Room to expand Evaluate tokenization, payment links, terminals, ACH and other Fortis capabilities as requirements grow.
Custom VEVS development The integration is designed around the client's operational workflow rather than a fixed generic checkout.

The right car rental payment gateway integration starts with the business workflow.

  • Full rental payment, partial payment or deposit at booking
  • Security deposit authorization and later capture
  • Pay now / pay later payment workflows
  • Additional payments after booking or vehicle pickup
  • Full and partial refund requirements
  • Stored payment methods, card-on-file and tokenization
  • ACH, card and digital wallet payment options
  • Online, branch and in-person payments
  • Different merchant accounts or payment providers by rental location
Not Using Fortis?

VEVS can integrate other car rental payment providers too

Fortis is one example of how VEVS can connect a client's preferred payment gateway or payment processor with VEVS Car Rental Software. If your rental company uses another local, regional or industry-specific payment provider, acquiring bank or merchant service, our team can review its API and technical documentation and determine whether a custom car rental payment integration can be developed.

The goal is simple: your software should adapt to the way your business operates.

No. Fortis is positioned as an embedded payments platform and provides APIs and developer tools for integrating payment processing directly into websites, car rental software, reservation systems, ERP platforms and other business applications.
What payment methods can Fortis support for rental reservations?
Depending on the merchant account and implementation, Fortis supports payment scenarios involving credit and debit cards, ACH and mobile-wallet payments, as well as online and in-person payment environments. These can be used for rental payments, deposits, balances and other supported transaction types.
Can Fortis be embedded directly into a website or software application?
Yes. Fortis Elements provides customizable payment components that can be embedded into a website or application, while the Fortis API can be used for deeper software integration.
Does Fortis support tokenization and stored payment methods?
Yes. Fortis supports tokenization. Where permitted and correctly configured, an integration can use secure payment tokens instead of storing raw card information in the reservation software.
Can the car rental payment integration support deposits, authorization, capture and refunds?
Fortis provides transaction capabilities for payment workflows including authorization, completion/capture and refunds. Depending on the merchant setup, these functions can be connected with car rental deposits, reservation payments and later transaction management in VEVS.
Can customers receive a separate payment link?
Fortis provides Paylinks that can be used for payment requests delivered through billing communication such as email or text. This can be useful when a balance needs to be collected outside the original checkout.
Can Fortis support in-person terminal payments too?
Yes. Fortis supports card-present and cloud-connected EMV terminal scenarios in addition to online payments, allowing businesses to evaluate a connected online and physical payment setup.
Can VEVS integrate other payment gateways and payment providers?
Yes. VEVS can review APIs from local and international payment gateways, payment processors, acquiring banks and merchant service providers. If the provider offers suitable technical documentation and API access, a custom integration may be possible.
Can different car rental locations use different merchant accounts?
This can be evaluated as part of a custom VEVS payment integration. Multi-location rental companies may require different merchant accounts, payment providers or settlement rules by branch, country or legal entity.
Do we have to change our payment gateway or payment provider to use VEVS Car Rental Software?
Not necessarily. If your car rental company already works with an established payment gateway, processor, acquiring bank or payment service provider, VEVS can evaluate its API and integration options. When technically possible, we can develop a custom connection rather than forcing the business to change payment providers.
