Booking·Tours

vs. Bokun

The local-first Bokun alternative for South African operators.

No PayPal redirect. No per-booking surcharge. Yoco-native. R2,000/month flat.

Why operators leave

Bokun is solid for Europe and Latin America — but South African checkout often lands at PayPal. That's friction your customers don't want, and it costs you bookings.

Add a per-booking commission on top of the subscription and your monthly cost gets unpredictable. Booking·Tours is a flat R2,000 with native Yoco settlement and local cards.
