Revolutionising the way travellers discover, plan and book a trip
At Tab, we’re revolutionising the way travellers discover, plan and book a trip. The Guide lets travellers find and book anywhere — with helpful recommendations from friends & local experts, rather than bland listings with endless reviews. Planning your trip should be a joy, not a chore! We help people to travel responsibly, by booking direct instead of using traditional booking sites. Travellers get the best price and they help local businesses avoid unnecessary fees. Travel experts, content creators and the friends you always ask for recommendations can use The Guide to showcase their favourite places to stay and things to do. When you book one of their recommendations, you’ll get a discount from the business and they receive bonus credit to say thanks. The Tab platform gives independent tourism businesses the tools to improve their online presence, be discovered, take direct bookings — and also to take payments. Our payment platform is uniquely designed for tourism businesses, handling over 100 currencies natively, and every payment type securely and easily. As travel returns after a difficult period, it’s time for a fresh approach. That’s why we’re building a social commerce platform for tourism — helping to spread the benefits of tourism far and wide, and helping travellers make the most of their precious time abroad. We're headquartered in London, and backed by Y Combinator (the investors behind Airbnb, Dropbox and Stripe).
Tab provides card payment acceptance for hotels, hostels, tours and other tourism businesses. It enables global, in-advance and on-site payments with weekly payouts in local currency, designed to boost tourism-related sales.
Tab offers a payment platform that lets tourism businesses take card payments across channels: on their website (booking widget, payment links), in person via the Tab app on any device, and in advance for deposits. It supports integrations with existing booking engines, PMS and OTAs, and promises instant setup, deposits to reduce no-shows, and weekly payouts in the merchant’s currency. The system is built for various tourism segments and claims to enable payments from guests regardless of location or connectivity, with options for direct website payments, on-arrival payments, and add-on purchases during stays or tours.
Who it’s for: Hotels, hostels, tour operators, and other travel businesses of varying sizes looking to accept card payments globally and streamline payouts
