Run a fuller season with less running around.
Tarn is the booking and operations platform for outdoor outfitters: fill more trips, cut no-shows, and clear the day's admin before your first launch.
Early outfitters get free hands-on migration and a direct line to the people building Tarn. Get in touch
The desk should take minutes, not mornings.
Real seats on real trips, embedded on the website you already own. A deposit holds the seat, and the confirmation and waiver links go out the moment it's booked.
How it worksYou 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.
The whole schedule, one screen.
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.
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.
Built for the office, the guide, and the guest.

One rate. Everything included.
No monthly fee and no tiers. Tarn takes 3% of each booking, stepping down to 2% as you grow. Card processing goes to Stripe at cost, never marked up.
Questions outfitters ask before they switch.
Straight answers — no fine print. Still wondering about something specific to your operation?
Talk to a real personTarn takes 3% of each booking, 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, with 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.
At the moment your guest's card is charged. Stripe splits Tarn's fee out of the payment itself, and the rest settles straight to your account. No month-end invoice, and nothing is ever debited from your bank account later, the way some legacy systems collect their percentage.
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, with no app store and 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. Your data is yours: bookings, contacts, and waivers export cleanly whenever you want them.
Your next season starts at the desk. Make it a short visit.
Set up your trips, take your first booking, and get back outside.
