How travelers pay
A checkout that reflects how the market actually works.
Available methods depend on the traveler’s country, booking currency, and provider coverage. The checkout only presents rails supported for that reservation.
Cards and wallets
PayPal, major cards, and compatible device wallets use the provider’s secure authentication flow when available.
Bank transfer
Local instant-transfer options appear where the booking and payment provider support them.
Before money moves
The reservation and amount are verified first.
The payment service looks up the reservation on the server and checks the expected total before initiating a transaction. The browser does not get to invent or override the amount.
Place a hold
The reservation records the tour, date, guest count, traveler, currency, and server-calculated total.
Choose an available rail
Checkout requests the methods supported for the booking country and shows the applicable next step.
Confirm status
The confirmation screen polls the payment service instead of treating a button click as proof of payment.
For local operators
Settlement without making the operator absorb every cross-border problem.
fioGuide records the booking value, platform fees, settlement currency, and payment status so finance and operator teams can reconcile the same transaction.
Local settlement
Where provider coverage allows, operators receive settlement through the supported local account or wallet.
Clear records
Reservation references and transaction identifiers keep traveler, support, operator, and finance views aligned.
Exception handling
Failed, pending, refunded, and disputed payments remain explicit states rather than disappearing into a generic success screen.
