Guest Payment Enhancements
Guest payment features are available to consumers making a one-time payment and do not require a KUBRA EZ-PAY enrolled account.
There has been an increasing demand for payment features from guests who don’t wish to create a KUBRA EZ-PAY account but still want added payment flexibility. With this release, we are happy to announce KUBRA EZ-PAY guest access to the following payment features that previously were only available to those with enrolled KUBRA EZ-PAY accounts.
Bill View
With Bill View enabled, guests can view their recent bill from the Account Overview page upon account validation.

Please note: In order to support this feature, you will need to be able to load bills into the KUBRA iDoxs Platform.
AutoPay
With AutoPay enabled, guests are presented with the option, after a successful payment, to set up automatic payments (AutoPay) for future bills. When you load a bill file with KUBRA, consumers who have this feature activated will have their bill paid automatically by KUBRA EZ-PAY.

Please note:
- Guests will have the option to set a maximum payment threshold.
- KUBRA EZ-PAY will use the payment method that was used to make the recent successful payment.
- Guests can easily deactivate AutoPay from the Account Overview page.
PayByText
With PayByText enabled, guests are presented with the option, after a successful payment, to pay future bills through text. After activating this feature, the guest will be sent a text when a new bill is due. They can easily respond to the message to make a payment using the payment method included during activation.

Session Recording Controller
If you use a third-party component to execute session recording tasks, the standard KUBRA EZ-PAY flow has been updated to send a masking signal to this recording software when a caller enters a payment account number (PAN), so the sensitive information can’t be recorded by third parties.

The KUBRA EZ-PAY feature release dates are as follows:
- Bill View — Immediately
- AutoPay — April 18, 2021
- PayByText — April 18, 2021
