Booking and payment, on your own website.
Guests choose the dates or the tour, see the price, pay by card and get their confirmation - without leaving your site. The money goes straight to your own account. We never hold it.
For rental managers and tour operators. Added to the site you have, or built new with it.
What happens when a guest books.
The same four steps whether it's a villa for a week or a tour for four on Saturday.
They choose
Dates and guests for a stay, or the tour, date and group size. Only what's actually available can be picked.
They see the price
The total updates as they choose - seasons, weekends, minimum stays and taxes worked out for them.
They pay
By card, on your site, into your own payment account. A deposit now and the rest later, if that's how you work.
Everyone knows
The guest gets a confirmation straight away. You get the booking in your calendar and an email. The platforms' calendars close the dates.

See it working on Legend Costa Rica.
Legend's tours, ATV trips and transfers are booked and paid on their own website. Go through a booking and take it to the payment screen - you don't have to pay.
What the guest does
- Chooses the tour
- Picks the date and how many people
- Adds their details and pays by card
- Gets the confirmation by email, in English, Spanish or French
Or book a whole tour on our demo tour company, all the way to the confirmation email - nothing is charged. Open the booking demo

What you see, for rentals.
Every booking in one place, whoever it came from - with who has paid, what is still due, and what needs you today. (For tours, see the dashboard above.)
The details.
What people ask us about once they have seen it working.
Deposits and balances
Take a deposit when they book and charge the balance automatically before arrival, with a receipt each time. Or take it all at once.
Payment reminders
If a payment is still open, a reminder goes out by email under your name - you don’t chase anyone.
Seasons and rules
High season, weekends, minimum stays and taxes for rentals; group sizes, routes and pickups for tours.
Your own domain
Booking happens on your site, in your colours, so guests know exactly who they are paying.
Every booking in one calendar
Direct, platform, phone and WhatsApp bookings side by side, so nothing gets double-booked.
Ways to pay
Card with 3D Secure where the bank asks for it. In Mexico, the details for a factura.
Questions about direct booking.
Do I need a new website?
No. We add booking to the site you have. If it needs replacing, we build a new one with booking from day one.
Whose payment account is it?
Yours. We connect a payment provider in your name - in Costa Rica we set it up with you on a local processor, elsewhere usually Stripe - and payouts go to your bank.
How do you stop double bookings with the platforms?
Every booking on your site closes the dates on the platforms, through your property software or a calendar sync. For tours, we agree how many places each channel can sell.
What does it cost?
For rentals, one monthly price by the homes you manage, or start small with a share of your direct bookings. For tours, a small monthly fee plus a share of the bookings on your own site. Nothing on platform bookings. See pricing and work out yours.
