Can Shopify effectively manage online bookings for travel and tours?

Seeking Advice:
I understand Shopify to be great for ecommerce and products - but is it the right platform for Travel And Tours? Currently my options are the website and booking management system are separate which means 2 bill.

I need my guests to be able to:

 

- Book scheduled tours and trips online
- Pay / Refund online
- Reschedule (arrange) guest bookings

If Shopify can manage this and my website I'd be satisfied 🙂

This is an accepted solution.

Shopify can do this with apps, or clever theme customizations , however always keep in mind it was not made as a booking product based platform.

So every step of the way you will have roadbumps that need solutions shoehorned in.

 

If you haven't committed yet continue researching alternatives first.

You should only settle on shopify if there's a feature set you have hard defined as a business requirement and not just because you've heard of shopify.


Good Hunting.
