Booking · Online checkout
A checkout built to convert
One clear price with fees and taxes included, seats held while travellers pay, no account to create, and a confirmation with a PDF the moment payment succeeds.
Overview
Online checkout at a glance
Checkout is where interest becomes a booking. Travellers choose a date and travellers, see the price update with any group price applied, and continue to a short checkout. Their seats are held for 30 minutes so they have time to pay.
Trust signals are built in: book direct with the operator, secure payment on your provider's page and instant confirmation by email. When plugins are on, travellers can add extras, enter a promo code or pay a deposit.

Payments
Deposits & balance payments
Take a deposit at booking and collect the balance later: automatic card charges, reminders, retries and personal payment links.
Sales
Add-ons & extras
Sell extras at checkout: airport transfers, gear rental, travel insurance, single-room upgrades. Priced per booking, per traveller, per night or per item, with quantity limits, shared daily stock and a question per extra (e.g. shoe size).
Marketing
Promo codes
Percentage or fixed-amount promo codes with booking and travel windows, blackout dates, tour and ticket-type restrictions, usage caps, bulk single-use codes and shareable links that apply the code automatically.
Marketing
Abandoned checkout recovery
Up to three automatic follow-ups to travellers who started a booking but didn’t pay, each with a one-click link that restores their exact cart, and an optional discount on the last one. See what each reminder recovers.
Revenue
Gift vouchers
Sell or give gift vouchers with a value. Travellers enter the code at checkout and it pays like money, across as many bookings as the balance allows. Unused value comes back if a booking expires or is refunded.
What if the traveller doesn't pay in time?
The hold expires, the booking shows Expired and the seats go back on sale.
Can travellers pay a deposit?
Yes, with the Deposits plugin, which shows a Pay a deposit now choice.
What about full departures?
Travellers can request the date or join a waitlist with the Waitlist plugin.
