Every spot sold on TourRadar costs a cut.
TourRadar lists a 15.25% commission on marketplace bookings, plus a 1.75% technology fee and a payment fee of up to 3%. In total, 18.7% to 20%.1
For adventure trip operators
Adventure travel website design where travellers pick a departure and book their spot.
Travellers see your departures and the spots left, then book from your own site. We build it on top of the booking system you already use, and check first how far the booking step can go.

The usual trouble
Three things adventure operators say.
The last spot can sell twice.
When one departure is sold on a marketplace and on your own site, both have to read the same count of spots left. If your site keeps its own list, two travellers can buy the last spot. Your booking system should hold the count, and your site should only read it.
Travellers ask what they still owe.
With a deposit now and the rest later, the traveller needs to see what is paid today, what comes later and when. When that only sits in a confirmation email, the questions land in your inbox.
What we do
Your departures, booked from your site.
Each trip and each departure gets a page on your own site, and travellers book there. The deposit and what is still due are shown before they pay. How far the booking step can go depends on your booking system, and we check that with you first. Your system keeps the account and the count of spots left.
- Each trip gets its own page, designed as part of your site, with its departures laid out the way you sell them.
- Deposit and balance: Bókun’s API checkout lists deposits among what it covers, next to card tokens and payment taken outside Bókun.2
- The last spot: Checkfront holds a place while a traveller completes the booking, so two travellers cannot buy the same spot.3
- Rezdy checks availability and creates bookings through its API. For companies in the EU, card payment is tested on your own account first, because the API has no 3D-Secure yet.4
- Departures on FareHarbor: API access is granted case by case, and we ask FareHarbor with you before we start.5
- A system of your own can work too, if it has an API. We look at it together on the call.

A few more questions
Who keeps the count of spots left?
Your booking system does. Our pages only read it, so your site never keeps a second list that can drift from the real one. Your account, departures and traveller records stay in your system.
Can travellers pay a deposit now and the rest later?
It depends on your system. Bókun’s API checkout names deposits.2 For the others, we confirm on the call whether a deposit and a later balance can run through the API. If you take instalments, tell us, and we check that as well. The traveller sees what is paid and what is due on your page, not only in an email.
Do I have to leave TourRadar?
No. Keep a departure on TourRadar if it fills there. Your own site gives travellers a second way to book the same departure. Check the platform’s terms before you show a different price on your own site. To see a year of platform fees next to your own site, try the booking fee calculator.
What if my system cannot show spots left or take a deposit?
We find that out before you decide. A step that has to stay on your system’s own page stays there, and we build the trip pages around it and send travellers back to your site afterwards.
How do the payments work, and when is it live?
Three payments: a part up front, a part at launch, and a last part 90 days after launch. That last part is due only if your site took more bookings than in the same 90 days last year. The numbers come on the call. The thirty business days start once the connection to your system is in place, or when your system approves it.
Can I see a trip page before I decide?
Yes. Before you decide, you get a free homepage design for your trips, shown to you on a call.
Do you build for day tours too?
Yes. If you also run day tours or activities, read about websites for tours and activities.
Where the facts about other companies come from
Every fact about another company on this page was read on that company’s own pages on 30 October 2026. Companies change their pages, so check before you decide.
