Overview

Trip Packages allow you to group together a set of activities under a single price for your client.

A good use-case for this is a safari you are booking through a tour company. There is a single price for the entire safari - maybe with a few up-charges based on options your client can select from. You want to build out a bunch of activities on your client’s itinerary, but need to have a single price.

Before launching Credit Card Authorization, we noticed that some advisors were using Trip Packages to take multiple activities that will all be charged separately, and obscure the individual price points from their client. This often makes sense during the sales process when you want to bundle up pricing.

If you are just looking to remove itemized pricing from your client during the sales process, please use our new Pricing setting for this instead! Learn more below.

You have the ability to edit the package pricing on it's own page. This allows us to easily link to this package throughout your trip.
