One account. Several ways to sell. You choose the channel for each lesson.

You create one school account and get into SurfBooking OS. When you publish each lesson you choose where to sell it: your own channel, the SurfBooking marketplace or both, with the same spots. Commission depends on where each booking came from.

Sell on your own channel · Channel Manager
€0 /month

You just have to keep lessons on sale in our marketplace.

The Channel Manager is what gives your school a channel of its own.

  • 0% commission on everything you sell through it
  • Your own booking page, with your link and your QR code
  • Sell at the counter, on the beach, by WhatsApp or on Instagram, plus express lessons with a QR on the sand, paid on the spot
  • We read their calendars (Airbnb, Booking.com, Viator, GetYourGuide) and give you a feed for them to read
  • One calendar for every channel, and the clashes we can block, blocked
Everything else it includes (7)
  • Lessons arriving from those channels sit in the same calendar and count as yours
  • Their students get the confirmation email and the check-in code, like everyone else
  • Widgets to drop into your own website
  • Booking TV: your lessons on a screen at the shop, with a QR to buy
  • Partner API: your operators and hotels book straight into your calendar, and the payment is between you and them
  • Take card payments (you pay only the payment processor fee) or mark the lesson as paid at the counter — either way, SurfBooking commission: zero
  • The Channel Manager isn't paid for in money: it's paid for in lessons. As long as you keep lessons on sale in the Surf Booking marketplace, you pay nothing for it. One lesson every six months you work is enough.
Our suggestion
Sell on both
0% or 20% one or the other, by where each booking came from

The same lesson on your own channel and in the SurfBooking showcase. It is what we suggest.

  • They never add up: each booking pays 0% if the student came through your channel, or 20% if they came through the marketplace
  • Everything your own channel has, at 0% commission
  • Everything the marketplace has, at 20% only on the bookings we bring you
  • The same lesson on sale in both places: the spots are shared, you never oversell
  • Every booking shows where it came from, and you see the numbers for each one
Everything else it includes (3)
  • If we sell nothing, your own channel stays at 0%
  • Choose lesson by lesson: both, only your channel or only the marketplace
  • Change whenever you like, no contract

All five, here, with no monthly fee. SurfBooking OS costs €0/month, and so does the Channel Manager — you just have to keep lessons on sale in our marketplace. The only money we take is the 20% on the bookings we bring you.

When you pay commission — and when you don't

The student came from us

  • Bookings that start on the SurfBooking marketplace (app and site), in packs, vouchers and requests
  • 20% commission, only on these
  • No booking, no commission

The student came from you

  • Bookings on your direct link and at the counter
  • Zero SurfBooking commission
  • You only pay the normal payment-processor fee, which is not ours

Your other channels

  • Lessons you already sell elsewhere and sync by iCal
  • The money never passes through us
  • Zero commission

Included in all three — SurfBooking OS, €0/month

Day to day

  • Calendar and lessons — group, private, kids, multi-beach, recurring, templates
  • Students and history — who came, what level, what they signed
  • Team — instructors, roles, invitations, availability, staff across schools
  • Check-in by QR or a 6-digit code that works without signal
  • Chat with the student in the app, and on WhatsApp

Equipment

  • Catalogue by unit, with your own reference — “1F” — plus specs and price
  • Wear and cost per use, from the hours actually surfed
  • Counter rentals, with their own waiver and ID photo
  • Automatic sizing: wetsuit, board, leash and boots, per student

Money and paperwork

  • Payments by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay and MB WAY
  • Digital waivers, with guardian consent for minors
  • Gear brands and partner hotels, with a catalogue of your own
  • Export your accounts and your numbers whenever you want — they are yours

Around the lesson

  • The school assistant, by text or by voice — it proposes, you confirm
  • Lesson photos and video for the student
  • Sea warnings: swell and onshore wind, beach by beach

What comes included

From choosing a beach to an instructor's career: these tools connect learners, instructors and school teams.

01

An app that starts at the beach

We start at the beach the surfer wants — the school appears where the wave is.

02

A vertical system built for surf

Forecast, level, ratio, equipment, waiver, check-in and receipt as one chain. Not a generic scheduler with surf on top.

03

A Marketplace built for instructors

The CV belongs to the instructor. A freelancer working for three schools carries one career.

Everything else it includes (10)

Progress Passport

Stamps from the beaches they actually surfed — and each session's photos stay pinned to the spot where it happened.

Booking TV

A link for a hotel or a surf shop, or any smart TV: your lessons on sale, with a QR to buy. Hosted by us.

Connected assistants

Connect your AI assistant to your school: it only sees your school, and any change waits for your confirmation.

An agent inside your school

Ask by text or voice; it prepares the work and you confirm. It never says it did what it did not do.

Our own forecast, per beach and per level

Swell, wind, tide and headland shadow, spot by spot. A lesson is only offered when the sea suits that level.

Progression packs on sale

From the first paddle to the first turns — your own levels, sold as a journey.

Repeat a lesson

The same lesson on the days and weeks you pick, at a set hour or on the tide that suits that level.

Tide templates

You save the template once — tide phase, level, slots — and every series you make after that uses it.

What was sold is what is delivered

The ratio is enforced by the system, and the waiver is a real signature — phone or computer.

Intelligence Surf Layer

Sea, level, ratios and beach rules in one layer — the reason we can say this lesson, on this beach, for this level.

SurfBooking OS: €0/month.

Calendar, lessons, students, staff, equipment, waivers and the school assistant are part of SurfBooking OS and carry no monthly fee. Selling on the SurfBooking marketplace costs nothing up front either — only the commission, and only when we bring you the student. The Channel Manager, which is what gives your school a channel of its own, carries no monthly fee either — you just have to keep lessons on sale in our marketplace. Card processing fees apply on every channel, including your own.

Before you decide

When do I pay?

Never up front. The commission comes out of the booking itself, at the moment the student pays — you never get an invoice to settle.

Is there a lock-in?

None. There is no contract, no minimum period and no cancellation fee. You leave when you want and your data leaves with you.

What if I sell nothing?

You pay nothing. There is no fixed cost on the marketplace side — if we bring you no one, we earn nothing.

And the Channel Manager?

The Channel Manager isn't paid for in money: it's paid for in lessons. As long as you keep lessons on sale in the Surf Booking marketplace, you pay nothing for it. One lesson every six months you work is enough. SurfBooking OS is €0/month.

Nothing to lose by trying.

Open your account, put your lessons in, and see what the panel does for a week. If it is not for you, you close it and you paid nothing for the panel. Commission applies only to lessons the marketplace sells for you.
