Best Western SSL Certificate (BW)

Best Western SSL Certificate (BW)


If you are a Best Western Hotel, the 2way between Visual Matrix and Best Western is secured by what is called an SSL Certificate. This certificate has to be renewed every 2 years.
When a certificate comes to expiration, Best Western informs Visual Matrix prior to expiration to process the renewal.
If you are on our Cloud version, the renewal will be automatic, without you noticing any drop time.
If you are on our Desktop version, we will contact you when the new Certificate is available to upload it on your Server.
