Questions we get asked a lot
We're here to help. If you don't find your answer here, reach out to us directly.
Unlike many large OTAs that charge high commissions and limit supplier flexibility, our marketplace is built to put suppliers first. We offer:
- Lower commission rates – starting with a promotional 5% for the first year, among the most attractive in the market, as compared to 20-30% by other OTA big players.
- Easy & free self-serve onboarding – join quickly with a simple & streamlined sign-up process. Upload your tours, set your prices, and start receiving bookings without long approval delays. No hidden costs, no onboarding setup fee.
- Frequent payouts – unlike other OTAs that typically pay suppliers only once a month, we think it’s fair for you to receive your payouts on a weekly basis.
- Greater control - you are free to manage your own prices, availability, and policies. Your tours, your rules.
- Traveller-focused value – we encourage suppliers to set competitive, attractive rates so that travellers get better value while you retain more earnings. With fairer rates for suppliers, travellers benefit from better prices and more authentic experiences.
We offer a promotional commission fee of only 5% for the first year since your onboarding date.
After this period, we will transition to a tiered commission model. The final structure is still being refined, and all suppliers will be notified via email well in advance before any changes take effect.
Rest assured, our commission will remain one of the most attractive in the market.
Earnings
Earnings for a successful booking are only generated after the booking has been fully served and completed. Once the experience is successfully delivered, your earnings will be credited to your supplier balance 7 days after the completion date. You can track your earnings & balance in the Supplier Dashboard.
This 7-day period allows time to resolve any disputes, cancellations, or customer appeals, ensuring a transparent and secure process for both suppliers and travelers.
Payouts
Payouts will be carried out upon your withdrawal request from the available balance in your account. Below is the sequence of how it works:
- Booking confirmed → A customer books your experience.
- Experience delivered → You provide the service as scheduled.
- Earnings credited → 7 days after completion, the net amount is credited to your supplier balance.
- Fund withdrawal requested → Log into your dashboard and request a withdrawal via your preferred payout method
You do. Suppliers set and control their own prices on BookTourX.
As a marketplace and distribution platform, BookTourX does not set the retail price for your tours, activities, attractions, transfers, or other experiences.
No, you are free to manage your rates. We do not impose strict price parity requirements.
However, we encourage suppliers to set attractive and competitive prices so that travelers enjoy great value — staying true to our mission of giving benefits back to both suppliers and travelers.
Our onboarding is designed to be simple and self-serve, so you can get started quickly:
- Sign up – Create your supplier account on our platform.
- Provide details – Upload your business information, legal documents (e.g., license, insurance if applicable), and payment details.
- Create your listings – Add your tours with descriptions, itineraries, photos, and prices.
- Go live – Once your listing is complete, it can go live and start receiving bookings right away.
Our team is always available to guide you during onboarding, but the process is built so that most suppliers can do it themselves in just a few steps.
We keep the requirements as light and straightforward as possible. To onboard, we may request:
- Basic business details (company name, contact information, contact phone no, etc)
- Legal documents such as a business license or permits (where applicable)
- Identification of the business owner or authorized representative (for verification)
All information is handled securely and used only for verification and compliance. Once the supplier application is submitted & approved, you can complete the rest of the onboarding and start listing your tours.
You can keep using your existing booking system. BookTourX is designed to work alongside your current setup, so you don't need to replace your booking system or maintain a separate availability calendar.
Choose how you want to manage your BookTourX bookings:
BookTourX currently uses a booking-request workflow and does not require a direct API integration.
1. You Manage Bookings
Available to suppliers using any booking system.
Your team receives new booking requests by email and checks availability in your existing booking system or internal calendar. You can then confirm or decline the request directly from your BookTourX Supplier Dashboard.
You can also set a Minimum Booking Lead Time and require Manual Booking Confirmation. If a booking request is not confirmed within 24 hours, it automatically expires with no cost or penalty to your business.
2. BookTourX Manages Bookings
Available to suppliers using FareHarbor or Rezdy.
Prefer a more hands-off approach? Our Operations Team can check availability and manage eligible BookTourX booking requests on your behalf using your existing booking system or booking-agent portal.
How does the booking process work?
Regardless of which workflow you choose, the process is simple:
- A customer submits a booking request through BookTourX.
- The request is sent to your team or our Operations Team, depending on your chosen workflow.
- Availability is checked against your existing booking system or operational calendar.
- The request is confirmed or declined.
- Once confirmed, the customer receives their booking confirmation.
- You continue managing the confirmed booking through your existing booking system as usual.
Do I need to change my existing booking system?
No. You can continue using FareHarbor, Rezdy, Bókun, or another booking system to manage your availability, schedules, customer records and day-to-day operations.
BookTourX simply adds another distribution channel to your business. There is currently no direct API integration required to receive BookTourX bookings.
If you manage bookings yourself, you can also configure your Minimum Booking Lead Time and Manual Booking Confirmation settings to give your team enough time to verify availability before confirming a request.
As BookTourX expands its connectivity, automated availability and booking synchronisation will become available where supported.
You do. As the supplier, you are the primary point of contact for travelers and are responsible for customer support related to your experiences — from pre-booking questions and booking-related assistance to support during the experience and post-tour follow-up.
BookTourX provides the marketplace, booking and payment infrastructure, and platform support. For issues involving the BookTourX platform, payments, or matters requiring escalation, our team may step in to assist.
You remain directly connected with the travelers who book your experiences, allowing you to provide personalized service and build lasting customer relationships.
