Sell your trip to your own community. Get paid on a plan, straight to your Stripe.

No. Guest payments go to your own connected Stripe account (or Square) and pay out to your bank on the schedule you set, daily or weekly. SquadTrip never holds your funds, before or after the trip. The only wait is Stripe’s own 7–14 days before a new account’s first payout.

Share your trip details or the link to your current trip page, and SquadTrip’s AI rebuilds the trip in seconds—rooms, prices, deposit and payment plan—ready for you to review and publish. Hosts switch for three reasons: guest payments go straight to your own Stripe account and SquadTrip never holds them; guests can pay over time with Klarna, Afterpay or Affirm (US); and there’s no monthly fee to get started, because guests pay the 6% processing fee on top and you receive 100% of your price.

Yes—that’s exactly why we built SquadTrip. Instead of chasing Venmo payments and tracking everything in a spreadsheet, you create one booking page, set up automatic payment plans, and let the platform handle reminders and tracking. Most organizers say it saves them 10+ hours per trip.

Venmo is great for splitting a dinner tab, but group trips involve thousands of dollars, multiple payments over months, and detailed traveler information. SquadTrip gives you automatic payment plans, a real-time dashboard showing who paid, professional booking pages, and automatic reminders—so you’re not chasing people or updating spreadsheets for months.

Yes—it’s one of the main reasons organizers switch. Let travelers reserve with a deposit, then automatically charge the balance in installments you control. SquadTrip handles the billing, reminders, and failed-payment retries for you.

For organizers who sell a trip to a group, SquadTrip is built for exactly that: one booking page with packages and rooms, deposits at booking, automatic payment plans, registration forms and e-signature waivers, and a dashboard showing every traveler’s balance. It’s free to use; travelers pay a 6% processing fee on top of your price.

Yes. On SquadTrip a host creates a trip page with the itinerary, packages and prices, shares the link, and travelers book and pay on that page. Payments go to the host’s own Stripe or Square account, and installments are charged automatically.

Use one booking page: set packages and prices, size the deposit to cover your supplier’s deposit, collect each traveler’s details and waiver at checkout, and schedule installments to finish two to three weeks before the supplier’s final payment. Reminders and retries run automatically, and the rooming list is an export. The full workflow is in our guide to collecting money for a group trip.

SquadTrip is free to use. We offer a free plan plus paid plans starting at $29/month with additional features. Booking fees are 6%, which includes the credit card processing fee (2.9% + 30¢) that Stripe charges. So if your trip costs $1,000, your traveler pays $1,060—you receive $1,000, and the $60 covers Stripe and our platform fee. No hidden fees, no surprises.

Not at all. Your travelers see a clean booking page, select their package, enter their info, and pay with a credit card or Apple Pay. If they choose a payment plan, their card is charged automatically each month. They can also log into a traveler portal to update their payment method, view receipts, and see their balance. Most travelers find it easier than receiving Venmo requests.

SquadTrip automatically retries failed payments and sends the traveler a notification to update their card. You get an alert so you know what’s happening, but you don’t have to chase anyone down. The platform handles it.

Absolutely. You can create your first trip for free—no credit card required. Your guests pay a 6% processing fee on top of your price, so you receive 100% of what you charge.

When travelers pay, the money goes to your connected Stripe account and is deposited into your bank account. You can set up daily or weekly payouts. SquadTrip never holds your money—it goes directly from your traveler’s card to your bank through Stripe.
