What changes

The desk should take minutes, not mornings.

01

An all-in-one calendar

One page does it all — book trips, set custom times, and run the schedule from the same place.

02

Reservable quotes

Send a quote a guest can book on the spot — nothing comes out of inventory until payment is made.

03

One screen to run the day

The manifest, waiver status, and email inquiries are already there the moment you open Tarn.

Your week at a glance

Everything you need before your first coffee.

Open the calendar and see the whole week — every departure, who's guiding it, and exactly how many seats are left to sell. No tabs, no spreadsheets, no surprises at the ramp.

Guides on every departure. Assignments live on the calendar, so the whole crew reads the same schedule.
Seat counts, live. Open trips show exactly what's left to sell — full ones flag themselves.

Switching mid-season

You don't have to wait for the off-season.

Your upcoming bookings, contacts, and waivers come over while your current system keeps running. Everything lands in one place, you pick a quiet weekday to cut over, and your guests never notice a thing.

We do the import with you. Bring your bookings, contacts, and waivers over from your current system's export or a spreadsheet — we handle the heavy lifting, free.
Nothing gets lost in the move. Every upcoming trip, every signed waiver, every balance owed — imported into one system, checked against your old one.
Cut over when you're ready. Run Tarn alongside your current setup until you're confident, then point your booking link here.

Payments

Get paid without the back-and-forth.

Take a deposit at booking, send a secure link for the balance, and see exactly what's outstanding for every trip. Nobody has to write another chasing email.

Balances paid online. Guests pay the rest from a secure link, before departure.
One view of what's owed. Every outstanding balance, by trip, in real time.
Quotes that don't hold seats. Price a group without pulling seats off sale — payment confirms the trip and claims the spots.

How it works

Live in an afternoon, not a quarter.

There's no sales call and no setup project. Add your trips, put the booking link on your site, and you can take your first booking today.

1

Bring your trips over

Import your activities, schedule, pricing — and every contact and booking from the spreadsheets and CSVs you have now. We'll help you move, free.

2

Share your booking link

Drop your Tarn page on your site and socials. Guests book, pay a deposit, and sign waivers — automatically, before they arrive.

3

Run the day, not the desk

Open Tarn to your day's manifest, live conditions, what's outstanding — and what's still open to sell. Less office, more river.

Pricing

One rate. Everything included.

No monthly fee and no tiers. Tarn takes a small percentage of each booking — 3% to start, stepping down as you grow. Card processing goes to Stripe at cost, never marked up.

FAQ

Questions outfitters ask before they switch.

Straight answers — no fine print. Still wondering about something specific to your operation?

Talk to a real person

Tarn takes a small percentage of each booking — 3% to start, stepping down to 2% as your volume grows. There's no monthly subscription, no setup fee, and every feature is included on every account. If anything about the pricing is unclear, ask and you'll get a straight answer.

Card processing is separate and goes to Stripe, not Tarn — 2.9% + 30¢ per transaction at Stripe's standard rate, on your own Stripe account. Tarn never marks it up. Add it to the platform fee and your true out-the-door cost is 5.9% at the starting rate, down to 4.9% at volume.

Your rate is set by your trailing 12-month processed volume, and it applies to all of your volume — no brackets to decode. Cross $250k and your rate drops to 2.5%; cross $1M and it drops to 2%. Tarn moves your rate down automatically — you never have to ask for it.

Your call. Absorb the platform fee in your listed prices, add it at checkout as a booking fee, or split it 50/50 — it's one setting.

You can be taking bookings the same afternoon you sign up. Add your activities, schedule, and pricing — from your current platform or a spreadsheet — and if you're moving from another system, we'll help you bring your upcoming bookings over at no charge.

No. Guests book, pay, and sign waivers right in their browser from any phone or laptop. There's no account to create and nothing to install.

Tarn runs on Stripe, so deposits and balances are handled securely with industry-standard PCI compliance. Payouts land in your bank on Stripe's normal schedule — you connect your account in a couple of minutes.

Yes. You and your guides get a clean web dashboard that works right in any phone browser — pull up the day's manifest, guest counts, and waiver status from the ramp. Add Tarn to your home screen and it runs full-screen like an app — no app store, nothing to update.

You set your own cancellation policy — deposits, windows, and weather holds. Refunds are one click and flow back through Stripe, and Tarn's platform fee comes back to you on a full refund. Cancelled and refunded bookings stay on the record so your reporting always reconciles.

No contracts, no monthly fee, no minimums, and no setup fees. If you ever leave, your bookings, contacts, and waivers export cleanly — your data is yours.

Your next season starts at the desk. Make it a short visit.

Set up your trips, take your first booking, and get back to the river — with no monthly fee.
