Cycling tour operators run guided rides for visitors and locals, from short city and food tours to multi-day trips through the countryside with hotels and luggage transfers. Short tours are often booked the day before or on the spot, while longer trips are paid with a deposit and a balance. Riders add extras such as electric bikes, helmets or a support van. A payments app that sends payment links for deposits and balances, takes payment on the spot and handles extras can win these operators, and every rider who pays sees your app.

Send payment links for deposits and balances
A payment link for a deposit gets a place confirmed at once, and a second link for the balance before the trip means no chasing money on the first morning.

Take payment on the spot and for extras
Letting riders pay by phone for a tour, an electric bike upgrade or a water bottle makes it easy to say yes at the meeting point.
Grow through hotels and local businesses
Cycling tours stop at cafés, wineries and sights along the way, and many bookings come from hotels. One operator on your app can bring the businesses on its routes.
