Lightspeed Payments offers a Card Not Present (CNP) solution to complement your existing payment setup. This all-in-one payment solution allows you to streamline processing by bringing your CNP transactions in-house. You can manage your transactions without a third party and access all payment data directly within the Lightspeed Golf tee sheet, eliminating the need to log into separate third-party accounts.
Benefits for golf operators
Using CNP payments provides a streamlined workflow that allows you to:
- Store cards securely: Keep golfer payment profiles on file for quick, reliable transactions.
- Control your sales process: Encourage popular booking and prepayment options to improve golfers' booking behaviour.
- Enforce cancellation policies: Easily charge a deposit or "no-show" fees for missed tee times.
- Automate your billing: Run autobilling and online payments for recurring charges.
- Maintain a contingency plan: Combat over-the-counter technical issues with a reliable backup payment method.
- Access embedded reporting: View successful, refunded, and failed CNP payments and quickly action refunds directly from your tee sheet.
- ACH instant account verification: Your customers can securely connect their U.S.-based ACH bank accounts and process payments as soon as it’s activated.
How CNP payments work
A golfer can charge green and cart fees, booking extras, subscriptions (including memberships, services, and packages), and social event fees using the credit card attached to their profile. Any time a purchase is made, the transaction is reported within Lightspeed Golf.
From the Lightspeed tee sheet, you can view, manage, and export reports on all CNP payments and payouts without leaving your workflow.
When exporting your CNP reports, they include comprehensive details such as ID, date, status, card type, captured amount, net amount, fees amount, last four card digits, payment ID, order ID, user, and device.
