PSP

A PSP is the provider that processes the hotel's card payments and connects it to the Visa or Mastercard networks. It is who receives the chargeback notice and who sets the clock for responding. Adyen, Stripe, Checkout.com or Redsys are examples. Switching PSP affects reconciliation, fees and how disputes reach you.

Example The booking engine charges through the PSP, and it is the PSP that tells the hotel a chargeback is open with seven days to reply.
