Fortis Payment Gateway Integration for Car Rental & Online Reservation Software
Connect Fortis payment processing with VEVS Car Rental Software and keep online reservations, card payments, deposits, refunds and customer information inside one connected workflow. The integration is designed for car rental companies and reservation businesses that want their booking software to work with the payment provider, merchant account and payment processing setup they already use.
Park & Fly Integrated Company
Fortis integrated for SeaTac Park & Fly
VEVS developed a custom Fortis payment integration that connects a business's preferred payment platform with its online vehicle rental reservation process.
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 & 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Customer receives confirmation
The completed reservation continues through the normal VEVS confirmation process, giving the customer a connected journey from search to paid booking.
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.

- 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.
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.
Initial reservation payment or deposit
The customer makes the booking and completes the required online payment, rental deposit or advance payment.
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.
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.
Refund when required
Refund operations can be connected to the original transaction according to the merchant setup and integration requirements.
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.
Tell us how your car rental payment process should work
The right car rental payment gateway integration starts with the business workflow. VEVS can review the functions available through your Fortis merchant account and payment processing setup, then design the connection around the way reservations, deposits, card payments, balances, authorizations and refunds need to be handled.
- 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
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.
