The VEVS Solution

Windcave connected with A Park's online reservation and payment workflow

A Park needed online parking reservations and payments to work as one coordinated process. VEVS connected the booking workflow with Windcave so payment processing could form part of the reservation journey instead of requiring a separate manual process.

1

Customer starts the reservation

The customer selects the parking dates and required reservation options through the online booking process.

2

VEVS prepares the payment context

The reservation system prepares the relevant booking reference, payment amount and transaction information needed by the Windcave payment workflow.

3

Windcave processes the online payment

The custom payment gateway integration connects the booking process with the client's Windcave merchant environment for the configured transaction.

4

Payment status remains connected to the booking

The payment result is handled as part of the reservation workflow so the transaction status and corresponding booking remain coordinated.

5

Customer receives booking confirmation

Once payment has been successfully processed, the reservation can continue through the normal confirmation process with the relevant booking details and instructions.

Select Dates Choose parking or reservation period
Enter Details Customer and booking information

Advanced Payment Workflows

Windcave can support more than a basic one-time online payment

Depending on the Windcave merchant account, acquiring setup, enabled payment methods and project requirements, VEVS can evaluate advanced payment workflows around car rental reservations, parking bookings, deposits, later charges, refunds and stored payment methods.

Client Example

Online payment processing for A Park Auckland Airport Parking

A Park provides secure Auckland Airport park-and-ride parking with 24/7 shuttle transfers. Its website encourages customers to reserve and prepay online, with booking confirmation issued once payment has been successfully processed. The custom Windcave integration connects this payment step with the online reservation workflow.

A

Reserve airport parking online

The customer enters the required dates and booking details through A Park's online reservation process.

B

Prepay for the booking

The reservation payment is passed into the configured Windcave payment gateway workflow.

C

Process and return payment status

Windcave processes the transaction and the reservation workflow receives the relevant payment result.

D

Confirm the reservation

After successful payment, the customer receives the booking confirmation and the instructions needed for the airport parking service.

Why It Matters

Keep Windcave connected to the reservation software your business uses

Businesses should not need to replace a working payment gateway or merchant relationship simply because reservation software does not support it. Custom VEVS development can connect Windcave payment processing with car rental, parking and other reservation workflows when the required APIs and merchant services are available.

Connected online booking Move customers from reservation details to online payment and confirmation through one coordinated workflow.
Keep your payment provider Avoid changing an established Windcave merchant setup simply to fit the reservation software.
Flexible checkout options Evaluate hosted, embedded and more customized payment integration methods according to project requirements.
Connected transaction status Keep payment results associated with the reservations and customer records they belong to.
Room for advanced workflows Evaluate tokenization, Paylink, rebilling, refunds and authorization/completion functionality where supported.
Custom VEVS development Design the integration around the business's booking rules and operational payment process instead of a fixed generic checkout.
Planning a Windcave Integration

Tell us how your reservation payment process should work

The right payment gateway integration starts with the business workflow. VEVS can review the Windcave functionality available to the merchant and define how reservations, card payments, deposits, later transactions, refunds and payment status should work inside the software.

  • Full payment or deposit at booking
  • Hosted Payment Page or embedded checkout
  • Purchase, authorization and completion workflows
  • Full or partial refund requirements
  • Stored-card and tokenized payment workflows
  • Later payment collection through Paylink
  • Digital payment methods such as Apple Pay where enabled
  • Online, in-store or multi-channel payment requirements
  • Different merchant accounts or payment configurations by location
Not Using Windcave?

VEVS can integrate other car rental and reservation payment providers too

Windcave is one example of how VEVS can connect a client's preferred payment gateway or payment processor with reservation software. If your rental, parking or reservation business uses another local, regional or international payment provider, acquiring bank or merchant service, our team can review its API and technical documentation and determine whether a custom integration can be developed.

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