HOW IT WORKS

Offer your customers the chance to make their booking refundable during their purchase journey by presenting them with a set of carefully selected refundable terms. Our experts support you with both the wording and the design of the optimal placement in order to generate the maximum conversion rate whilst remaining fully compliant with local laws and regulations.

The customer selects the upgrade option and makes their booking with increased confidence, safe in the knowledge that they’ll be able to claim a 100% refund if they’re unable to fulfil their booking (terms and conditions apply). Meanwhile, you generate additional revenue by selling the upgraded bookings at a price that both pays the fees for our service and makes a margin for you.

An unfortunate customer is unable to fulfil their booking due to some unforeseen circumstance and so requests a refund directly from us. A magic link in their booking confirmation leads them to a pre-populated form with minimal additional information required, enabling automated processing for over 90% of refunds. They simply provide evidence as to why they cannot attend through the upload of supporting documents, taking no more than 5 minutes and can be done in over 20+ languages on the platform.

Our market leading Refunds AI processes the refund request and automatically generates payment to the customer’s bank account in 48 hours. Where human interaction is required, then our 24/7 team of Customer Experience experts, who are multilingual, and located around the World, will reach out to the customer directly to resolve the refund request.

The happy customer receives a 100% refund of their booking, including the extra money they paid to make the booking refundable. The customer is satisfied with the service from you, and from us, and won’t think twice about booking with you again the future.
