Partner with Xrise
More bookings.
Without the 30% cut.
Viator takes 25–30%. GetYourGuide about 25%. We start at 6% — and if that's still not the right shape for your business, we'll build a different deal. Free to list either way.

Six ways to work together
Different operators want different things. A skydiving centre doing 200 tandems a month has different maths than a charter captain running weekends. Pick the one that fits, switch when it stops fitting.
Revenue share
6% per booking
You pay nothing until we send you a customer. No monthly fee, no setup cost, no minimum. Card processing comes out of our side, not yours.
Best fit: Starting out, or testing whether we actually drive volume.
Flat listing fee
From $199/mo
A fixed monthly fee and we take nothing per booking. Every dollar a customer pays goes to you, minus card processing.
Best fit: High volume through us — the maths beats revenue share past roughly 30 bookings a month.
Hybrid
3% + $79/mo
Lower per-booking rate with a small monthly fee. Splits the risk between us.
Best fit: Steady, predictable volume where you want a lower marginal rate.
Per-booking fee
Flat $ per booking
A fixed dollar amount per booking regardless of trip price. Predictable, and it favours you on high-ticket trips.
Best fit: Premium experiences — helicopter tours, multi-day trips, charters.
Featured placement
Add-on
Top of category pages, a badge on your listing, and priority in search. Stacks on top of whichever base model you're on.
Best fit: Competing against several operators in the same category.
Custom terms
Let's talk
Multi-location operators, exclusive category partners, or anyone bringing serious inventory. We'll write terms that fit.
Best fit: Larger operations, or anything the above doesn't cover.

Card processing (about 2.9% + 30¢) comes out of the Xrise side on revenue-share deals, not yours. Figures are estimates for discussion, not a quote — final terms go in a written agreement.
Why operators say yes
Incremental customers, not your existing ones
We're not asking you to move bookings you already have. Direct traffic stays direct — Xrise adds people who wouldn't have found you.
Keep your own system
Connect your calendar or booking software and Xrise bookings appear where you already work. No new dashboard to check.
No upfront risk
Free to list. On revenue share you pay only after we've sent a paying customer. If we never send one, you never pay.
You set everything
Your prices, your capacity, your cancellation policy, your blackout dates. We don't discount your trips without asking.
Local, not a call centre
We're in Austin. If something goes wrong you're talking to the person who runs the platform, same day.
Real numbers
See views, clicks, conversion, and revenue for your listings. Most operators have never seen this data about their own trips.

Questions operators actually ask
What does it cost to get listed?
Nothing. Listing is free on every model. On revenue share you pay only when a booking comes through us.
When do I get paid?
Through Stripe Connect, the money goes to your account at the time the customer pays — we never hold your funds. Our commission is deducted automatically. If you'd rather not use Stripe we can pay out manually on a weekly cycle instead.
Will this cannibalise my direct bookings?
It shouldn't, and we'll help you check. If someone already knows your name they'll book you directly. Xrise shows up for people searching by activity and location, not by business name. Your reports break out where bookings came from.
Do I have to change my booking system?
No. Four options: manage availability in Xrise, import your calendar via iCal, connect an API if your software has one, or just confirm requests manually by phone. Pick whatever matches how you already work.
What if I'm already booked when a customer books through Xrise?
That's the double-booking problem and we take it seriously. Connect your calendar and we block those windows automatically. Until then, request-to-book means you confirm before anything is charged.
Can I change the deal later?
Yes. Most operators start on revenue share and move to a flat fee once volume justifies it. No penalty for switching, and we'll tell you when the maths flips.
Who handles refunds and complaints?
We handle the booking side — payment issues, cancellations within policy, customer questions before the trip. Anything about the experience itself is yours, since you're the one running it. Your cancellation policy is the one we enforce.
What insurance do I need?
Your own general liability, same as you carry now. Xrise is the booking channel, not the operator — you remain responsible for the activity. We'll ask for a certificate before you go live.
Worth a conversation?
No contract to read yet, no commitment. Tell us what you run and we'll come back with a specific proposal.
