Product · Online booking

Take bookings on your own website.

Guests pick a date, see open seats, and pay. Their confirmation and waiver links go out the moment they book.

Start free

Your guests book on your site, not ours. Tarn counts the seats, takes the deposit, and sends the confirmation.

How it works

Put it on your site

Add a Book Now button, or put the booking calendar right on a page. Settings → Widget also gives you a direct link to share on social media or in an email.

Full trips get a waitlist

When a trip fills up, guests can join the waitlist, and they'll get an email if a seat opens.

A deposit holds the seat

Turn on Require Deposit and set it as a percentage or a dollar amount. Guests booking close to the trip pay in full, and you choose how close.

One link for everything after

Every confirmation has a Manage booking link, where guests can see their trip, pay the balance, and sign their waiver.

What's included
  • Your own questions at checkout, asked once or for each guest
  • Gift card and promo code field at checkout
  • Your cancellation policy, agreed to before booking
  • A 'complete your booking' email when someone stops halfway, with an optional discount
Good to know
  • Guests can see, pay, and sign from their link, but rescheduling or cancelling still goes through you.
  • Each booking can use a gift card or a promo code, but not both.
  • The 'complete your booking' email goes out once per cart and can't be resent by hand.
Common questions

Does it work on my existing website?

Yes. It works on WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, or a custom-built site: anywhere you can paste a short piece of code. Your domain, photos, and search rankings stay put.

What stops a double booking?

Every departure has a set number of seats, and online booking sells against the live count, including bookings your office takes by phone.

Can I stop online bookings close to departure?

Yes. Set a booking deadline in hours for each activity, and a cutoff for each departure time. Bookings your office enters skip the cutoff, so you can still fill a last-minute seat.

Do guests need an account?

No. They book, pay, sign, and check their details from the links in their email, with nothing to install.
