What comes next

More connections. Clear on progress.

Channels, payments and connected finance are at different stages. Here is where each stands.

In certification

Channels and OTAs

Rates, availability and bookings through Channex. Our certification with Channex is in progress and no OTA is connected through Hoyo yet.

We confirm in writing which channels your property can use and when.

Rolling out

Payments by MozPay

Online Visa and Mastercard payments in meticais, switched on property by property. We confirm in writing how payments settle for your property before you take a payment.

MozPay fees are quoted per property, because they depend on your property's setup. Ask us for a rate for your lodge and we will put it in writing.

In development

Connected finance and POS

Hoyo will read invoices, receipts and till sessions from the system your accountant already uses.

Hoyo is not an AT certified invoicing system. In Mozambique those documents must come from a licensed system, so Hoyo will connect to yours and leave it as the fiscal system of record.
