Frequently asked questions

Is there a free trial?
Yes — 14 days with access to full functionality.
What’s the difference between Waybird Lite and Waybird Core?
Lite is the itinerary builder on its own: live availability, dynamic pricing, the full content library and PDF/link sharing. Core adds the operational layer — integrated payments, automatic invoices and receipts, a guest dashboard, payment reminders and booking data.
How does the 80/20 commission split work on Waybird Hosted?
You set your own tour prices and keep 80% of the commission; Waybird takes 20% in place of a subscription. In return you get the full platform plus host agency support: exclusive preferred supplier rates, international supplier payments managed for you, and public liability insurance.
Does Waybird Hosted have a monthly fee?
There’s a small monthly commitment fee, but it’s not an additional cost — it accumulates as credit on your account, and once you start processing bookings your fees are reimbursed.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes. Upgrade or move between plans at any time — everything you’ve built (content, pricing, itineraries) comes with you.
How many users are included?
Lite includes one user. For more users or custom pricing, get in touch and we’ll sort you out.
Are there transaction fees on payments?
Standard payment processing fees apply when you take payments through the platform.
What’s in the Waybird content library?
3,000+ ready-to-use write-ups of lodges, trips and experiences across Africa, Asia, Latin America and Europe, plus images and snippets — and you can create your own private content for anywhere in the world.
