India, February 20, 2026: RateGain Travel Technologies Limited (NSE: RATEGAIN), The global leader in artificial intelligence SaaS solutions for the travel and hospitality industry announced today that RateGain’s hotel direct commerce platform UNO has integrated with global payments platform Stripe to enhance cross-border payment capabilities within UNO’s booking engine.
As travelers increasingly expect seamless, secure and flexible payment methods when booking hotels online, the checkout experience has become a key driver of conversion and trust, especially for hotels serving an international customer base. This partnership addresses one of the most critical moments in the booking process: payment completion.
Stripe enables businesses to securely accept, process and manage online payments across currencies and geographies. With its strong global reach, Stripe enables UNO to embed enterprise-grade payment capabilities directly into the booking process, supporting multiple payment methods including bank cards and digital wallets, while ensuring flexibility, reliability and compliance across markets.
The UNO Booking Engine is designed to help hotels increase direct bookings by providing a seamless, brand-owned booking experience that increases guest confidence from discovery to payment.
By integrating Stripe into the UNO booking engine, hotels can better serve international travelers from different countries and payment environments without increasing operational complexity. The result is a smoother checkout experience that helps reduce churn, improve payment completion rates and strengthen the direct relationship between hotels and their guests.
“Today’s most successful hotel brands have made the checkout experience a core part of their direct booking strategies,” said Ashish Sikka, Business Director, UNO Platform, RateGain. “By integrating Stripe into the UNO booking engine, hotels can confidently meet global demand while maintaining full control of the direct channel from discovery to payment.”
Integrating Stripe furthers UNO’s Direct Stack vision of integrating demand, bookings, distribution and payments into a scalable platform designed to help hotels compete more effectively, reduce reliance on intermediaries and grow direct business globally.
