Yoco payments
Built on Yoco. Built for Rands.
Instant settlement. Local cards. Zero PayPal nonsense. The payment rails your customers already trust — wired into every booking, invoice, and refund.
The problem
Bokun's only South African card option is PayPal. FareHarbor doesn't settle in Rands. Your customers abandon checkout because they don't have a PayPal account.
Booking·Tours is Yoco-native from the ground up. Customers pay in the currency they earn, with the cards they carry — Visa, Mastercard, Amex, and instant EFT — and the money lands in your account the same day.
01Checkout
A checkout your customers actually finish.
Yoco's secure hosted checkout, reached in one tap from your branded booking site. A 15-minute seat hold protects availability while they pay.
01Card checkout
Local cards. Instant ZAR settlement.
Add-ons, promo codes, and gift vouchers all apply before the customer reaches Yoco. On success they land on a confirmation page with their reference, a Sign Waiver Now button, meeting-point info, and calendar links.
02Invoicing
Every paid booking gets a tax-compliant invoice.
A pro-forma invoice is generated automatically the moment a booking is paid — your company details, a 15% VAT breakdown, the service line, amount paid, balance due, and your banking details. Download as PDF or resend by email in a click.
02Refunds
Refund in one click. Refund nobody until they choose.
Weather day? Bulk-cancel a slot and every affected customer chooses reschedule, voucher, or refund themselves. The cash stays in your account until they decide.
Refund straight back to the customer's card via Yoco. Edit the amount first for a partial. The customer is notified by WhatsApp and email.
Record an EFT or cash refund you're paying another way — marked processed without calling Yoco.
Time-based tiers (e.g. 48h+ = 100%, 24–48h = 50%, under 24h = 0%) drive refund amounts everywhere — admin, self-service, and the chat bot.
Refund All processes a queue one after another — built for weather cancellations across a whole day.
Issue credit instead of cash. Vouchers are valid three years and customers redeem them themselves at checkout.
HMAC-verified, idempotent Yoco webhooks mean no double-charges, ever — even on a flaky mobile network.
03Test first
Go live with confidence.
Toggle Yoco Test Mode, add your sandbox keys, and run the full payment flow with test cards before a single real customer pays. Keys are stored encrypted with pgcrypto — no plaintext at rest.
