The Payments Answer For Tours, Attractions, And Booking Software.
ActivityPay processes payments for tour operators, attractions, watersports outfitters, adventure companies, ticketed venues, and the booking software platforms (ISVs) that serve them. The platform exists because the activity and experiences economy has payment problems that don't exist in retail — and that generic processors weren't designed to solve. The operator side: deposits and partial payments on group buyouts that look like fraud to standard underwriting. Chargebacks driven by weather, no-shows, and group disputes that retail processors lose by default. Peak-season cash flow that strands operators waiting on traditional payout schedules. Mobile and field payments for guides who take cards on the water, on a trail, at a venue gate. Multi-location reporting and reconciliation across distributed teams. The software platform side: an embedded payments API that doesn't compete with the platform for the merchant relationship. White-label gateway, revenue sharing, and partner-first economics that grow with the platform. Optional sales support through the Software Reseller Program — a team of trained activity-industry sales reps that ISVs can plug into without hiring. The agent and reseller side: a curated portfolio of activity-industry software platforms paired with payments, training, and demo support that lets independent agents build a stickier book of business than payments-only reselling. ActivityPay is part of the CommercePay payment portfolio and is headquartered in Reno, Nevada. The platform is PCI-DSS Level 1 compliant, integrates with major booking platforms including Rezgo, PonoRez, FareHarbor, Peek Pro, Bookeo, Checkfront, Xola, and ResNexus, and supports a wide range of payment methods including card-present, virtual terminal, recurring billing, hosted invoicing, text-to-pay, ACH, and tokenized stored payment methods.

ActivityPay serves tour operators, attractions, experience-based businesses, camps, classes, outdoor adventure companies, and any business where customers book and pay for activities. We also partner with reservation and registration software platforms that need to embed payments into their products.
Square and Stripe are general-purpose payment processors built for retail and ecommerce. ActivityPay is purpose-built for the experiences economy. We handle the specific challenges of your industry: seasonal volume swings, high-ticket group bookings, deposits and partial payments, waiver workflows, and OTA distribution. You also get white-glove onboarding and live support during peak hours, not a generic help desk.
Yes. ActivityPay integrates with leading reservation and booking platforms including Rezgo, PonoRez, and 135 ACM. For software partners, we offer API-driven gateway integration, white-label options, and a partner-first approach that strengthens your platform rather than competing with it.
ActivityPay offers faster funding than traditional processors. During peak season when cash flow matters most, we prioritize getting money into your account quickly so your operations keep pace with your bookings. Exact timing depends on your plan and volume.
Experience-based businesses face unique chargeback patterns, including weather cancellations, no-shows, and group booking disputes. ActivityPay provides chargeback management and prevention built specifically for these scenarios, with industry expertise that generic processors lack.
Yes. ActivityPay offers mobile and field payment solutions so your guides, instructors, and on-site staff can accept payments anywhere, including remote locations where connectivity is limited.
We provide white-glove onboarding, which means a real person walks you through setup, configures your equipment, integrates with your existing booking platform, and stays available for live support during your peak operating hours. This is not self-serve setup with a knowledge base.
Yes. ActivityPay offers an ISV partnership program with API-driven integration, white-label payment processing, revenue sharing on every transaction, and access to our national sales team. We help software platforms monetize payments while keeping their customer relationships intact.
For tour operators, the best payment processor is one that understands the realities of the experiences economy: deposits and partial payments, group bookings with high-ticket buyouts, weather cancellations and no-shows, seasonal volume swings, and waiver-to-payment workflows. Generic processors like Stripe or Square treat tours like ecommerce. ActivityPay is built specifically for tour operators, with chargeback management tuned to industry-specific dispute patterns, faster funding for peak season cash flow, and integrations with major booking platforms including Rezgo, PonoRez, FareHarbor, Peek Pro, Bookeo, Checkfront, and Xola.
Yes. ActivityPay provides a developer-friendly REST API, JavaScript SDK, iFrame embeds, payment links, webhooks, and a tokenization vault so booking software platforms (ISVs) can embed payments directly into their product. Software partners can choose between fully embedded self-managed integration or integrated payments with go-to-market support. ActivityPay is structured as a partner-first relationship with revenue sharing, white-label options, and an optional co-selling sales team — not a referral channel that competes with the software.
