Functionality

• Simplify your corporate sales transactions—and retain brand consistency—with embedded card payments. When enabled, embedded card payments allow patrons to complete transactions within a cinema's own website. This means that patrons won't be redirected to another webpage mid-transaction, which allows cinemas to retain control of their brand experience throughout the payment journey. Embedded payments are available in these areas:

  • Self-service payments from invoice links
  • Public portal payments on cinema websites
