Payments designed for tourism

We help you take card payments from any country easily in-advance and in-person, with free payouts direct to your bank account in any currency.

How it works

Charge in Advance

Let your guests secure their booking in advance by sending them a payment link before they arrive, so that they can pay online easily and safely.

You can also charge card details received from OTAs like Booking.com and Expedia.

Charge In-Person

No need for a card machine — download our app onto your phone or tablet, and your customers can pay instantly.

Prefer contact-free payments? Create a payment link using our app, and let guests pay on their own device.

Take Website Bookings

Let guests book and pay directly on your website - just add our widget to your site and your guests can pay online.

Set availability and restrictions easily thorough your Tab account and manage both places to stay and tours/activities.

"Tab has enabled us to not have such large amount go through Paypal. It's been nice getting to work with a business right at the beginning. We met the Founders in March 2015 and hopefully have helped to promote them around Guatemala!"
