Q: How did you collect payments before you started using WeTravel?
A: We used to collect payments by different means: cash, checks, PayPal, Venmo. We logged registrations in a spreadsheet, where we had to manually track payments, dates, balances, and transactions. We emailed participants individually to create transaction records. The process was very time consuming, and without being able to offer credit card processing, we felt as though we were creating barriers for potential sign-ups.
Q: How has this problem been solved by WeTravel?
A: We’ve saved countless hours managing the money collection process while reducing the chance of making errors to a minimal level. Features that affect our team most include: easy access to booking details, complete audit trails of all payments, the use of discount codes, and the ability to offer payment plans.
Q: In what way WeTravel has impacted your business?
A: WeTravel is a cornerstone upon which our business has been built. It is the number one solution that allowed us to grow from a single person managing six retreats with 90 participants to a four person team that will manage close to 40 retreats with 800 participants in 2020.
“We value the ability to quickly create registration pages for our clients, and in turn offer retreat participants a trusted, professional, reliable way for them to pay for their trips. We appreciate the well laid-out trip profile pages, and easy to use interface for creating and editing new trips.”
