Adalte Streamlines Multi-Day Tour Operations with Repayd Integration

WHY THIS MATTERS
This partnership tackles a long-standing pain point in the travel industry: managing complex, cross-border payments across multiple suppliers, currencies, and jurisdictions. Multi-day tours often involve fragmented payment flows, manual reconciliation, and exposure to FX volatility, all of which add operational cost and risk.

By embedding a Merchant of Record model directly into Adalte’s platform, the integration simplifies how payments are collected, processed, and settled. This is particularly important in travel, where businesses must navigate local regulations, varying payment methods, and supplier relationships across different markets.

It also reflects a broader shift toward embedded finance. Instead of relying on external providers or disconnected systems, platforms are increasingly integrating payments directly into their workflows. This creates a more seamless experience for users while improving efficiency, compliance, and control.

Adalte S.r.l., the leading distribution system for travel packages and multi-day tours, has announced a strategic partnership with Repayd, a purpose-built Merchant of Record payment solution for the travel industry.

The integration is designed to simplify and strengthen payment operations for travel professionals managing complex, multi-day itineraries across multiple suppliers and currencies.

Optimising the multi-day tour workflow

Managing payments across multiple DMCs, currencies and jurisdictions has long presented operational and financial challenges for tour operators. Through this integration, Adalte embeds Repayd’s payment infrastructure directly into its platform, reducing manual processes and improving efficiency.

By leveraging Repayd’s Merchant of Record model, Adalte users benefit from a structured and compliant payment framework, while also enabling more efficient cross-border supplier payments. The integration allows tour operators to collect funds in one currency and manage settlements in others, reducing exposure to foreign exchange fluctuations and removing the need for fragmented banking relationships.

Payments are processed locally across key global markets, improving authorisation rates and reducing friction at checkout, while enabling operators to better control how and when currency conversions take place.

A commitment to operational excellence

By selecting Repayd to provide payment solutions across its marketplace, Adalte continues to expand its ecosystem of services tailored to the specific needs of the travel industry. This integration ensures that Adalte users have a reliable, travel-specific Merchant of Record partner, enabling local payment processing across key global markets, supporting compliance, and simplifying the management of complex, multi-currency transactions and supplier payments.

“Our goal is to constantly evolve our platform to remove friction for those managing multi-day tours. We have developed our system to manage both operational information and comprehensive administrative data, as we believe this unified approach should be the standard for facilitating the travel trade,” said Davide Galleri of Adalte S.r.l. “Thank to the integration of Repayd’s specialized financial tools directly into our workflow, we can finally provide our partners not only with useful information, but also with the speed and ease they need to sell FIT services online.”

Will Plummer, CEO and Co-Founder of Repayd, added:
“Tour operators are managing increasingly complex cross-border payment flows, particularly when it comes to paying suppliers in different currencies. This integration gives them greater control over how those payments are managed, helping to reduce foreign exchange exposure and simplify multi-currency settlement.”

The integration will be available from 1 May for all Adalte partners.

FF NEWS TAKE
Travel is one of the most complex verticals for payments, and that complexity only increases with multi-day, multi-supplier itineraries. This is exactly the kind of use case where payment orchestration and Merchant of Record models can deliver real value.

The key benefit here is control. Tour operators can manage FX exposure, streamline supplier payments, and reduce the need for multiple banking relationships. That is not just a convenience, it can have a direct impact on margins in a sector where costs are tightly managed.

There is also a clear trend toward vertical-specific payment solutions. Generic payment infrastructure often falls short in industries like travel, where workflows and requirements are highly specialised. Providers like Repayd are positioning themselves by building solutions tailored to those nuances.

Looking ahead, the success of this type of integration will depend on adoption and execution. If it delivers tangible improvements in authorisation rates, cost efficiency, and operational simplicity, it could become a standard approach for travel platforms.
