Give travelers more ways to pay with FareHarbor, including flexible Buy Now, Pay Later options and familiar local payment methods such as Bizum, MB WAY, Satispay, Alipay, WeChat Pay, and more.
Travelers around the world have different expectations at checkout. Some prefer to pay in installments. Others look for the mobile wallet or local payment method they use every day. And international customers may feel more confident when prices and payment options are presented in a way that feels familiar. That’s why FareHarbor is expanding the ways customers can pay for your tours and activities.
Help customers book now and pay over time
Not every customer wants to pay the full cost of a high-value booking upfront. Buy Now, Pay Later options give travelers more flexibility, by allowing them to spread the cost of a booking over time.
For operators, that means adding another familiar payment option without changing the value of the booking itself.
Klarna (coming soon)
Klarna lets eligible customers use Buy Now, Pay Later payment options when they complete a booking. Customers can choose the payment arrangement that works for them while operators can continue focusing on delivering the experience.
Klarna is available for operators using Stripe in supported countries and currencies.
Afterpay
Afterpay allows customers to pay for eligible bookings in installments. The operator receives the full payment upfront, while Afterpay manages the ongoing payments with the customer.
Afterpay is available for operators in the United States, Australia, and New Zealand.
Why it matters: In FareHarbor’s North America beta test, presenting Afterpay at checkout increased online conversion by roughly 0.6% for US operators.
Make checkout feel more local for international travelers
Payment preferences vary from market to market. By offering methods customers already use at home, you can give international travelers a more familiar way to complete their booking.
Popular local payment methods across the globe
FareHarbor supports several locally preferred methods for eligible businesses using Stripe:
Bizum for travelers from Spain
Bizum is a widely used option for Spanish customers, available for businesses processing payments in EUR
Satispay for travelers from Italy
An Italian mobile payment method that lets customers pay online through their bank account, Satispay is available for businesses based in Italy, processing EUR and using Stripe.
MB WAY for travelers from Portugal
A Portuguese digital wallet that lets customers approve a purchase through the MB WAY app, available for businesses processing payments in EUR

Make in-person payments more convenient in Canada
Online bookings are only one part of the sales journey. For operators that serve walk-in customers, the payment methods you accept onsite matter, too.
Interac on FareHarbor Dock (in beta)
Interac on FareHarbor Dock gives eligible Canadian businesses another way to accept payments from walk-in customers. A popular option for in-person payments across Canada, Interac makes it particularly relevant for operators serving domestic travelers, local customers, and last-minute bookings. Interac payments are supported by compatible FareHarbor Dock card readers and transactions can be identified through the Card type filter in FareHarbor sales reports.
For Canadian operators, it means keeping more in-person transactions within the same FareHarbor Dock workflow.
Create a smarter checkout for every traveler
The goal is not simply to add payment methods, but to make the right ones easy for each customer to find.
Smart Checkout
As the number of your available payment methods grows, presenting every possible option to every customer can become overwhelming. Smart Checkout automatically surfaces relevant local payment methods based on a customer’s location. Instead of sorting through every available method, travelers see a checkout experience tailored to where they are booking from.
Currency Switch
International customers don’t just have different payment preferences — they also think in different currencies. Currency Switch lets travelers view prices and pay in their preferred supported currency, while you continue to receive payouts in your own processing currency. This tool makes it easier for international customers to understand pricing and move through the booking process with confidence.
More payment choice. A more local booking experience.
There isn’t one payment method that works best for every traveler. The best checkout is one that gives customers relevant choices without creating unnecessary complexity.
As FareHarbor continues to expand its payment capabilities, operators have more ways to build a booking experience that works for both local and international customers. To learn more about FareHarbor’s available payment methods, visit our Help Center.
Payment method availability and eligibility may vary by country, currency, payment processor, and booking type.*
