Booking engine, zero commission

Every booking that comes through a portal takes 15 % to 25 % with it. In high season that is several months of wages a year, paid for something you can have on your own website.

The portals are not the enemy. The dependency is

Portals bring you customers who had never heard of you, and that is worth paying for. The problem is when the customer who already knows you, who comes back every year, who searched for you by name, also arrives through them. That commission is money given away.

What we do is not pull you off the portals overnight. It is to give you a place of your own where booking is as easy as it is there, so the customer who was coming anyway books directly.

What's included

A booking engine built into your website, with real-time availability, online payment or a deposit, rates and seasons you manage yourself from a panel, and sync with the portals so you never get two bookings for the same night.

On the terms you decide: minimum stays, cancellation policy, extras, a direct-booking discount. That last one is what works best — give the customer a concrete reason to book on your site.

How we work

How we work

  1. We look at how you take bookings now

    Which portals, what commission, and how many bookings are repeat customers.

  2. We show you the number

    How much commission you pay a year and how much of it is recoverable. With your data, not promises.

  3. We build the engine

    Built into your site, with payment, seasons and sync. Two weeks.

  4. We switch it on and measure

    We publish and track how many direct bookings come in. What is not measured does not improve.

Fair questions

Frequently asked questions

Is there really no commission per booking?

The engine is yours and takes no percentage per booking. The only thing that takes a cut is the payment gateway — the standard bank fee on any card payment — which is a fraction of what a portal charges.

Do I have to leave Booking.com or Airbnb?

No, and we would not recommend doing it overnight. The portals bring you new customers. The idea is that the customer who already knows you books on your site, which is why the calendar syncs with the portals so there are no overlaps.

Does it work for restaurants or only accommodation?

Both, though they work differently. For restaurants it is table bookings by sitting with no per-cover commission. For accommodation it is availability by night with payment or a deposit.

Can I change the prices myself?

Yes, and it is the most important part. Seasons, minimum stays, bank holidays and offers are all managed by you from the panel, on your phone. We teach you on delivery day.

How long does it take to set up?

Around two weeks, including the channel sync and payment testing. We show you it working before switching it on.
