Direct GCash Integration Inside Your Hotel PMS

Charge guests via GCash from inside CloudReef. No PayMongo layer. No double-fee. Real-time settlement straight to your bank, BIR-compliant Official Receipt generated automatically with payment method tagged correctly.

TL;DR

Native GCash integration in a hotel PMS removes three problems the gateway approach creates:

  • Extra fees: Direct = just GCash MDR. Gateway = MDR + 1.5–2.5% markup.
  • Slow settlement: Direct = T+1. Gateway = T+2 or T+3.
  • Double reconciliation: Direct = one report in PMS. Gateway = PMS report + gateway dashboard reconciliation.

CloudReef integrates with the GCash for Business API directly. Live in 7 days after your GCash merchant account is approved.

FAQ

GCash + hotel PMS: the questions worth asking

Can a hotel accept GCash through its PMS?

Yes, but only if the PMS has direct integration. Most global platforms route through PayMongo or Xendit, adding markup and a second reconciliation. CloudReef integrates with GCash for Business API directly.

What is the GCash hotel MDR rate?

Typically 1.5–2.5%, negotiated directly with GCash for Business. With native integration you pay only the GCash MDR, no middleware markup.

Does GCash work for room charges and restaurant?

Yes, across all PMS surfaces — front desk, POS, minibar, spa, direct booking.

How fast does GCash settlement happen?

T+1 with direct integration. T+2 or T+3 with gateway routing.

Can I issue a GCash refund through the PMS?

Yes. One workflow inside the PMS: refund, GCash reversal, folio update, BIR credit memo.

Is a separate GCash for Business account required?

Yes. You apply with GCash directly. CloudReef provides the application template; merchant approval usually 5–10 business days.
