FAQ

JellyRide is a platform fully tailored to meet the specific needs of independent tour guides and small tour agencies, enabling them to manage online payments, offer personalized experiences, enhance their online presence, and interact directly with customers, including collecting online private feedback and encouraging tips. We are not yet another payment solution or e-commerce platform – We are specifically designed to empower tour providers!

JellyRide enables you to quickly create a custom payment link or QR code that can be distributed through our platform, or your own channels (like WhatsApp or email), to collect payments from buyers. You can also easily create your own web store, or “Travel Experiences Store,” to showcase and sell your tour offers directly to clients. On top of this, each tour guide gets his/her own RFID card to easily collect feedback and reviews from clients and streamline the process of encouraging tips.

While JellyRide offers value for all tour and experience providers, it is particularly beneficial for those who:

  1. Lack an online storefront or payment gateway.
  2. Are keen to offer personalized and direct experiences away from the constraints of larger OTAs.
  3. Are aiming to capture a greater share of the increasing market of customers preferring online transactions.
  4. Want a hassle-free invoicing, taxation, and payment solution tailored to the travel industry.
  5. Are looking for an integrated solution that merges payment, showcasing, and on-field mobile transactions in one platform.
  6. Genuinely want to improve their service and facilitate “rituals” like client feedback or collecting tips.

Our Tour Guide Pro plan is charged yearly at 50€. This plan incurs an additional service fee of 2.5% for online payments. Early-registered users get a promo benefit with a permanent 0% service fee for all online payments.

Additionally, there’s a card transaction processing fee incurred by the payment gateway provider: 1.5% + 0.25€ for European cards and 2.5% + 0.25€ for non-European cards. 

Collecting tips with our JellyReview service is excluded from our service fee (service fee is 0%). Only the transaction fee (1.5% + 0.25€) applies.

Please check our Pricing page for more details and feel free to get in touch with us at [email protected] to check if you are qualified to claim the 0% service fee benefit.
