What is the Payments dashboard?
The Little Hotelier Pay dashboard offers a clear view of all your transactions and bank payouts processed through Little Hotelier Pay. Track your payments, refunds, fees, and payout statuses. Use the payment terminal to process payment not related to reservations, manage your payment requests and automated payment rules.
