We spoke to Sigurdur Long from Blue Lagoon Iceland about their experience with Planet and LS Retail, an Aptos Company Retail ✨🎬 Blue Lagoon needed a payments and Tax Free partner that aligned with their vision to enhance the guest experience – online and in-person. Planet’s seamless integration with LS Retail was ‘everything they wanted’. Now Blue Lagoon guests benefit from a choice of local payment methods, support for multiple currencies, and the convenience of an express checkout. Since implementing Planet’s solutions, Blue Lagoon has seen: ✅ A 65% reduction in card declines online ✅ Modern, branded points of sale ✅Smooth checkout experiences across all channels Watch the full video with Sigurdur in our case study: https://utm.io/uhxqK #WeArePlanet #Payments #Integration #Partnership

Integrated payments help hotels get to know their guests and deliver a better experience. The key? Tokenization 🔐 Guests’ data is encrypted from the moment they book online, so they don’t have to re-enter their card details at check-in, or whenever they make purchases during their stay 💳 This creates a halo effect – it’s easier for guests to spend, so they’re more likely to buy more 🛍 But that's not all. Tokenisation allows you to follow the customer journey via the token. Integrating the data into your CRM system means you can get a clear picture of your guests and their preferences. 📩 So you can tailor their next stay based on insights, creating loyalty incentives, bespoke offers and ultimately a better experience🌟 Personalisation and unique touches make trips memorable for travellers. So knowledge of your customers’ behaviour and preferences is invaluable in helping your hotel stand out from the crowd.

When it comes to payment methods, it might seem that providing as many options as possible to your ecommerce customers is the right approach. But is this really the case? Decision fatigue and the paradox of choice can affect customer choices when shopping online. Our latest blog by Thomas S. Willenborg explores how to find the balance when it comes to payment method options, the benefits of offering different payment methods and the risk of providing too many.
