Give yourself the unfair advantage that everyone else wants...
UseROSS to keep you connected...
Australian owned & operated
The UseROSS Channel Manager was designed and built in Australia by accommodation providers, like you, who wanted a say in where our industry was headed. The intention, to TAKE BACK CONTROL from the overseas behemoths who only want to charge you an ever-increasing commission for your bookings.

Certified PCI Compliant. In order to accept payments via credit cards, your reservation and billing systems must be PCI compliant. UseROSS’ secure infrastructure is certified PCI-DSS compliant and uses 128-bit SSL certificates to keep guest reservation details secure.
Accept Secure Online Payments
- Make your online bookings secure and reliable with payments deposited directly to your bank account.
- Payment Infrastructure Ready For You. UseROSS’ secure and reliable payment gateway allows your guests to always have a way to pay. So why not let them easily pay the way they want to.
- No More Virtual Credit Cards. Many Channel Managers and Online Travel Agents send you a VCC, which you then enter into your POS terminal. These attract merchant and sometimes cross-border transaction fees, which can be upward of 3.5%+ of the VCC value. This is on top of the commission the OTAs take!
UseROSS was the first to offer VCCs, and now we’re the first to get rid of them. We listened to our user’s concerns about the amount of fees they were paying for VCCs, and we’ve changed the way you receive your payments. We have replaced VCCs with a no fee credit card system.

UseROSS offers a Direct Deposit feature, where booking deposits and payments are transferred directly to your nominated bank account. This option was implemented to save you time and money, as you no longer have to enter credit card details into your POS terminal therefore reducing merchant fees.
Direct Deposit Feature
When you UseROSS, you pay less merchant fees. Here’s how:
Merchant Fee Savings. Over the course of one year, these merchant fees could be higher than $2,555.00, for a 14-room property! Let’s figure out what you’re paying in Merchant fees:
[Room Rate] x [Number of Rooms] x [Average Occupancy] x [Merchant fee] x [365 days] =
Here’s an example:
$100.00 x 14 x 0.5 (50%) x 0.01 (1%) x 365 = $2,555.00 per year, in Merchant fees.
That’s around $210.00 per month saving!
These are estimates only, as your room rate and merchant fees may be lower or higher than the figures used in this example.

With UseROSS, you can now promote your property the way YOU want it promoted, not the way the OTAs want to. Upload the photos, descriptions, room details and amenities, that suit you and how you want to promote yourself.
Booking Engine
Your website is one of the best ways to receive Direct Bookings. Why not add a secure booking engine to it?
- Create a “BOOK NOW” button on your own website, with a button that links to your inventory, showing real time rates and availability. If you already have a website, why not turn it in to a booking platform and receive bookings which are zero-commission.
- Accept Online Payment, Upfront. You don’t pay for a flight or a cruise after you’ve reached your destination, you pay at time of booking. With UseROSS you can receive booking deposits, upfront. Ranging from 10% – 100%, the choice is yours, and it’s all totally secure with our PCI-DSS compliant payment gateway.
- Drive Direct Bookings by managing your inventory the way you want to, not how the OTAs want to.

Cloud Based
You can access your Channel Manager from anywhere!
At inception, we considered what type of system would be “future-proof”, so we designed UseROSS to be cloud-based.
This means no downloading updates each time a new feature is added, as the whole system is ‘on-demand’ and only displays what you want to see, when you want to see it. Updates included!

- Sell your interconnected rooms separately, or as adjoining. Once one is sold, UseROSS automatically manages the availability of other room options on your connected channels.
