for travel operators

Run and grow your trips — all under one roof.

The storefront, booking and community platform for operators who already have an audience — and are tired of running it through DMs and spreadsheets.

You stay the organiser. You keep your brand, your travellers, your data.

An operator storefront on tripcode — Alpine Flow Retreats: hero photo, verified-operator badge, rating, trips-hosted count, about section and stats, on its own branded subdomain.

An example storefront on tripcode, branded and on its own subdomain. “Alpine Flow Retreats” is a demo operator used throughout this page.

The reality today

You've built the hard part. The back office hasn't caught up.

Bookings live in the DMs

Every “how do I join?” is a manual back-and-forth. Nothing sits in one place.

Rosters in spreadsheets

Who applied, who’s in, who paid, who’s waitlisted — tracked by hand, trip after trip.

Payments scattered

Deposits chased over transfer, TWINT, PayPal. No single view of what’s collected.

What you get

One platform for everything after the follow.

Think Shopify for social group travel. We give you the storefront, the booking workflow and a discovery network — you run the trips and own your travellers.

Your branded storefront

A home at name.tripcode.io — your logo, colours, photos and story. Fully white-label.

Trip pages that sell

Inclusions, deposit, cancellation terms, difficulty and price — up front. They decide before they ask.

Curated, application-based entry

Travellers apply; you see their profile, reviews and socials, then approve the group. Hand-picking, not DMs.

Cross-community discovery

Your trips surface to travellers from other communities — reach you’d never get alone.

Hotel & partner outreach

Email hotels, guides and vendors from one place — every reply organised in a single inbox.

Your team & referral code payments coming

Add staff under your account. Your referral code waives commission on travellers you bring. In-app payments via Stripe land next — you’re the merchant of record.

Trip pages that sell

Everything a traveller needs to say yes — on one page.

Price, dates, spots left, who’s leading the trip, the day-by-day itinerary, real reviews and a clear way to book — all up front. They decide before they ask.

  • Price, deposit and what’s included, stated plainly
  • Day-by-day itinerary and the guide who runs it
  • Reviews and a “good to know” FAQ that pre-answers questions
  • Your name on it — “Offered by you,” never sold in ours
An operator trip detail page on tripcode — Dolomites Sunrise Yoga Retreat: price from €900, dates, spots left, offered by Alpine Flow Retreats, day-by-day itinerary, guide bio, reviews and a how-do-I-book FAQ.
Your back office

Run the whole operation from your browser.

The tripcode editor is your Pro power tool — publish and edit trips, build the day-by-day itinerary, manage who’s in, and email hotels & vendors. No spreadsheets, no app required.

Every detail of a trip, under your control.

Set the price, deposit, what’s included, cancellation terms, difficulty and capacity — then publish it to your storefront in a click.

  • Pricing, deposits and inclusions in one form
  • Drag-and-drop day-by-day itinerary builder
  • Applicants, capacity and visibility, all in view
The tripcode editor trip-details form — title, description, dates, visibility, host, pricing, deposit, inclusions, cancellation policy and who-it's-for fields for the Dolomites Sunrise Yoga Retreat.
The tripcode editor hotel-inquiry composer — a saved template with subject and body, merge variables for trip title, dates and group size, a recipient list and a live preview, ready to send to three hotels.

Email hotels & vendors from a saved template — every reply organised in one inbox.

How pricing works

Pay for growth, not for showing up.

“A flat monthly plan — plus commission only on travellers we send you. Travellers you bring pay zero commission.”

Your own audience = 0% commission. Travellers who join with your referral code never cost you a cut — porting your community to tripcode is rewarded, not taxed.

Annual billing = 2 months free. Subscriptions sold on the web (no app-store cut). You're the merchant of record — Stripe's standard processing applies to your account; tripcode adds commission on platform-sourced bookings only. Figures shown are launch defaults.

The economics

Cheaper than the OTAs — and free on the demand you bring.

GetYourGuide 30%
CHF 360
Viator 25%
CHF 300
tripcode sourced
CHF 120
Your own audience
CHF 0

Platform cut on a CHF 1,200 booking. The travellers you bring cost you nothing. The ones we bring cost a fraction of an OTA — and they’re people you’d never have reached.

Lower distribution cost, plus demand you don’t have to manufacture.

Who owns what

You stay in control. We’re the platform, not the seller.

You, the operator

  • Organise and run the trip
  • Own the customer relationship
  • Set price, terms & cancellation
  • Merchant of record for payments

tripcode, the platform

  • Hosts your storefront & tools
  • Surfaces your trips to new travellers
  • Facilitates payments via Stripe
  • Never a party to your trip contract
  • Never sells your trip in our name

Questions

The things operators ask first.

Do I have to leave Instagram?

No — keep it. Instagram is your megaphone and your reach. tripcode is the back office it can’t be: bookings, profiles, payments and rosters in one place. They work together.

Who’s responsible if a trip goes wrong?

You are — you’re the organiser and you own the customer relationship, exactly as today. tripcode is the technology platform, never a party to your trip. That’s also what keeps you in control of your business.

Who owns my customers and data?

You do. Your audience, your trips and your data are yours and exportable. There’s no exclusivity clause — you can run trips off-platform anytime.

When do payments go live?

Soon. Everything else works today, and you’ll be set up the moment in-app payments ship via Stripe — where you are the merchant of record and funds come straight to you. Founding operators get first access.

How is this different from Viator or GetYourGuide?

OTAs charge 20–30% and bring anonymous demand. tripcode charges a flat subscription plus a low commission only on travellers we source — and nothing on the travellers you bring. Plus a social, community-led discovery layer the OTAs don’t have.

What does it cost to bring my team?

Seats are included with each plan (3 on Operator, 10 on Growth, unlimited on Scale); additional seats are a small monthly add-on.
