What is Astral Payments?

Astral Payments by Shiji is a hospitality-focused payment platform designed to unify payment processing, security, and financial operations within a single solution. Created specifically for hotels and hospitality businesses, the platform simplifies payment management while supporting a broad range of payment methods, including cards, digital wallets, and alternative payment options. Astral Payments provides centralized transaction management that helps reduce complexity across multiple properties and operational systems. A core component of the platform is its tokenization technology, which securely stores payment information through the Shiji Vault, preventing unencrypted card data from being stored within hotel systems. The platform adheres to strict industry standards, including PCI DSS 4.0 and PSD2 compliance requirements, helping organizations maintain strong security and regulatory practices. End-to-end encryption further protects guest payment information throughout the transaction process. Deep integration with Daylight PMS, Infrasys POS, and Stellaris Digital creates a connected hospitality ecosystem that reduces manual processes and improves operational efficiency. Multi-region account management capabilities support hotel groups operating across multiple markets, allowing them to manage payment accounts and expansion efforts more effectively. Automated reconciliation tools simplify financial management by matching transaction data across systems and reducing administrative workloads. Cloud-based updates keep the platform secure and current without requiring significant maintenance or downtime. Supported by Shiji’s global hospitality expertise and around-the-clock customer service, Astral Payments helps hotels streamline transactions, improve security, and deliver a more seamless payment experience for guests and staff alike.
