Description

Astral Payments by Shiji is a unified payment management solution built to help hotels centralize and simplify payment operations across their properties. The platform enables businesses to accept a wide variety of payment methods, including credit cards, digital wallets, and emerging payment technologies, giving guests greater flexibility at checkout. Its secure tokenization infrastructure stores payment information through the Shiji Vault, reducing the risks associated with handling sensitive customer data.

The platform also supports multi-region account management, making it easier for hotel groups to expand operations while maintaining consistency and control. Automated reconciliation features help finance teams reduce manual effort and improve transaction accuracy. End-to-end encryption and compliance with PCI DSS 4.0 and PSD2 security requirements help strengthen payment security and regulatory compliance. Hotels benefit from automatic software updates that keep systems secure and current without disrupting operations. By combining payment processing, security, automation, and hospitality-specific integrations, Astral Payments helps hotels improve efficiency while enhancing the guest payment experience.
