Payments that work harder for you

The Payment Suite covers both pay-ins and payouts for travel agencies. On the pay-in side, it gives travelers more ways to pay while keeping acceptance rates high through built-in optimization and compliance handling across providers. On the payout side, agencies can choose from a network of 20+ virtual card issuers and 80+ connected banks to earn rebates and manage costs. Add-on services include currency exchange, trip protection, and chargeback management. A single Sabre team supports the full setup. 

Single-use virtual cards are generated at the point of booking and used to pay suppliers directly. They improve security, simplify reconciliation, and often earn rebates back to the agency. Having access to 20+ premium issuers and 80+ connected banks matters because it lets you balance rebates, coverage and commercial terms to suit your business and customers. Rather than being locked into one provider’s terms, agencies can select the right issuer for each region or transaction type, all managed in one place without separate negotiations. 

Payment orchestration ensures that the preferred local payment options are offered to each traveler based on their location to minimize card abandonment. While intelligent routing of transactions to the processor most likely to accept them helps improve authorization rates by reducing failed, fraudulent, and declined payments. Small improvements in acceptance rates can product meaningful revenue gains at scale.

Yes. Pay-in capabilities connect to in-house systems via API, so agencies with existing technology stacks can integrate without replacing current infrastructure. The suite is designed to work alongside the tools agencies already use rather than requiring a full system replacement. Sabre manages the compliance and integration complexity on its side, which reduces the technical burden on agency teams when adding new payment methods or expanding into new markets. 

Agencies can add currency exchange into the booking flow to improve margins on international transactions and protect against currency risk. Chargeback management services are also available to protect revenue and reduce losses from disputed transactions. These services are designed to layer into existing workflows rather than requiring separate setups. Each add-on represents an incremental revenue or cost-protection opportunity that compounds over time at scale. 

Agencies get a single point of support across the entire payments setup rather than managing relationships with multiple vendors and trying to determine where an issue originates. Sabre’s payments team brings deep travel industry knowledge alongside payments expertise, which means support is grounded in how travel businesses actually operate. The team works to fit around how each customer runs their business, drawing on best practices from a large global customer base.
