FAQs

Booking software questions.

How operators build, sell and manage bookings on Zuru.

Still have questions? Talk to sales.

Can customers reschedule their own bookings?
Yes. Guests get a private link to their booking and can move it to another open slot once, as long as it's outside your cancellation window. We email you when it moves.
Can I take a deposit and collect the rest later?
Yes. Add a balance and due date to any booking. We remind the guest and they pay online from their booking page.
How do refunds work?
Card refunds go back to the guest's original payment. If you refund by EFT, cash, mobile money or PayShap, you record it in Zuru. Either way the guest gets a proof of refund PDF.
What if bad weather stops a trip?
Move every booking on that day to a new date in one go, then send all the guests one email to let them know.
How much commission does Zuru take?
None. Basic is free forever and paid plans are a flat monthly fee. You only pay your payment gateway's own fees.
How do payments reach me?
You connect your own payment gateway, so money goes straight into your account. Guests can pay by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, EFT and pay later options.
Do I need a website to start selling?
No. Every experience gets its own booking page and a listing on the Zuru Marketplace. If you have a website, you can add our booking widget to it.
