RoxPay & Quiroom

It all began with a direct conversation, during an episode of Storytime from the Bologna studios. On one side, Quiroom, a platform that chose to tackle a real problem in the travel world: hotel rooms that remain unsold. On the other, RoxPay, a European fintech specialising in digital payments, with a strong focus on the operational needs of businesses.

Two different fields, but destined to meet. Because when travel becomes spontaneous and last-minute, payments must also be fast, simple and reliable.

Quiroom was created to solve a structural issue in the hotel industry: unsold rooms. A natural phenomenon, but one that can significantly impact the revenue of accommodation facilities. The idea was to create a platform capable of digitalising unsold inventory management, allowing hotels to sell rooms from seven days before check-in.

At the same time, Quiroom wanted to offer spontaneous travellers an inspirational tool, capable of stimulating short, last-minute trips. To do this, however, a solid payment infrastructure was needed, capable of supporting bookings made even just hours before the stay.

This is where RoxPay comes in. A solution designed to reduce onboarding costs, lower commissions and guarantee fast payouts — fundamental elements especially for startups and digital platforms in their growth phase.

The collaboration between RoxPay and Quiroom started even before the official platform launch. The goal was clear: build a payment system capable of managing the entire booking flow.

An infrastructure was developed that today covers needs such as card tokenisation, recurring payments, guarantee charges for bookings and rapid balance management towards accommodation facilities.

From the hotels' perspective, this means being able to count on reliable and timely payments. From the platform's perspective, it means guaranteeing immediate confirmations, a seamless experience and full regulatory compliance.

Today Quiroom has over 600 active hotels across Italy and more than 18,000 registered users. A result made possible also by the ability to offer a simple, fast and secure booking experience.

Hoteliers joining the platform gain direct access to a community of travellers ready to depart at the last minute. Real, existing demand that concretely reduces the percentage of unsold rooms.

Quiroom aims to strengthen its presence across Italy. The goal is to become increasingly widespread, going beyond the best-known destinations and enhancing lesser-explored but high-potential locations.

The observed trend is clear: shorter stays, distributed throughout the year, booked in an increasingly flexible and spontaneous way. An evolution that requires simple, fast and reliable technological tools. In this scenario, RoxPay continues to be a fundamental technology partner.
