Taking guest payments online should be smooth, secure, and hassle-free. Direct Pay Online (DPO) is a trusted payment gateway that connects seamlessly with NightsBridge, allowing you to process card payments online for your accommodation business.
Whether your property is based in South Africa or elsewhere across the continent, applying for and linking DPO to your NightsBridge account is straightforward.
Choosing the right DPO option for your property
DPO operates through two regional options depending on where your accommodation business is located:
