Your first ReservKit setup, start to finish

The first setup session focuses on one working booking link. Here is what that looks like: Stripe, one activity, waivers, and a test booking before you share anything publicly.

ReservKit helps rental and experience operators take direct bookings, collect Stripe payments, manage waiver evidence, and run day-of operations from one workspace. Free-first signup lets operators build the first booking flow before choosing a paid plan.

The first setup pass usually covers organization details, one or two activities, availability, Stripe Connect, waiver requirements, and the public booking link. ReservKit creates the Stripe Connect checkout flow and routes the connected-account payment through Stripe, while collecting the plan-based booking fee on eligible booking subtotal where applicable.

Public plan pricing is documented plainly: Public plans are Free ($0/mo + 4%, 10 bookings/month), Starter ($79/mo + 3%, 100 bookings/month), Growth ($149/mo + 2%, unlimited), Pro ($299/mo + 1.5%, unlimited), and Enterprise custom.

If you want help evaluating ReservKit, request guided setup with your business type, current booking workflow, and monthly booking volume. That gives us enough context to plan the first setup path.

The real cost of your booking platform and how to calculate it

Monthly subscription, booking fee, Stripe processing, and volume limits all hit differently depending on how many bookings you take. Run the actual math before you commit.

The cleanest way to compare booking tools is to write down the monthly subscription, the booking fee, payment processing fees, booking volume limits, and any required add-ons. Some platforms publish this clearly; some require a sales conversation or custom quote.

ReservKit's public pricing is intentionally direct. Free is $0/mo + 4% with 10 bookings/month. Starter is $79/mo + 3% with 100 bookings/month. Growth is $149/mo + 2% with unlimited bookings. Pro is $299/mo + 1.5% with unlimited bookings. Enterprise is custom.

Stripe processing is separate from ReservKit's booking fee. Customer tips are tracked separately from booking income and are not marked up by ReservKit. Refundable damage deposits are separate checkout line items and are not marked up by ReservKit.

The most important comparison is operational fit: whether the customer booking flow, operator dashboard, waiver workflow, and payment setup match the way your business already works.

Migration

Before you switch booking software, answer these five questions

The wrong time to find out your migration plan has gaps is two weeks before your busy season. Verify the practical details before moving active bookings.

Before switching tools, confirm the practical details: how activities map over, how availability is rebuilt, where customer records live, what happens to historical bookings, and how payment disputes or refunds are handled in the old system.

ReservKit includes a Migration Center V1 for structured imports. It is designed to make the first migration pass easier, while still leaving room for hands-on review before operators go live.

If you currently use another booking platform, include that in your guided setup request. The first ReservKit setup should solve a real workflow problem without asking the operator to gamble with active bookings.

Why we show our pricing on the website

Most booking platforms will not show you a number until you have talked to a salesperson. We think that is backwards.

Operators should be able to estimate software cost before they change their calendar, payment flow, and staff process. Published pricing makes that decision simpler.

ReservKit uses a monthly subscription plus a booking fee that decreases as your plan goes up. Stripe processing is separate, and operators use their own Stripe account.

Transparent pricing does not mean every operator has the same implementation path. Larger enterprise rollouts may still need custom migration or support terms, but the core pricing model should be visible upfront.
