How long does setup actually take?

Most operators are live the same day. Import your existing bookings and customers, connect your channels, and take your first booking that afternoon — no lengthy onboarding call required to get started (though we’re here if you want one).

Can TimeKey build our whole website, not just a booking widget?

Yes — TimeKey includes a full website builder, so your booking flow, your pages, and your content all live on one site you control, without hiring a separate web developer or managing separate hosting.

Which booking channels and OTAs does TimeKey connect to?

GetYourGuide, Viator, and Bókun for tours, plus a Google Things To Do feed. For rentals, Airbnb, Booking.com, and Vrbo sync in real time, both ways. More channels are rolling out — tell us which one you need first.

Can TimeKey handle both tours and rentals, or just one?

Both, on one calendar. Tours, rentals, and appointment-based services share a single operational view, so you’re not running separate systems for a charter fleet and a walk-in booking.

How does payment processing work?

TimeKey handles payments across 20+ currencies and 8 payment gateways, including deposits, balances, and refunds — all inside the platform, with no separate merchant account setup required.

What does the AI front desk actually do?

It answers guest messages on WhatsApp, web chat, Instagram DMs, and phone — 24/7, checking real availability, quoting a price, and sending a payment link to complete the booking. You can pause it and take over any conversation with one click at any time.

Can I move my existing bookings and customers over from another platform?

Yes — TimeKey supports migrating your existing bookings and customer records, so switching doesn’t mean starting from zero.

Is there a contract or commitment?

No. Start free with no credit card required, and cancel anytime — there’s no long-term contract to get started.

Do I need technical skills to set this up myself?

No. The platform is built to be self-serve — most operators complete setup themselves in an afternoon without needing a developer or technical background.

Why US operators are switching to TimeKey

A lower checkout fee — or none

On the free plan your customer pays a booking fee from 3% instead of the ~6% common on per-booking platforms. On a flat monthly plan they pay exactly what you list.

Set up in an afternoon, not a sales cycle

Import your bookings, connect your channels, and take your first reservation the same day.

Tours, rentals, and appointments in one platform

No separate tool for your charter fleet and your walk-in bookings.

A 24/7 AI front desk included

WhatsApp, web chat, Instagram, and phone — answered and booked automatically. Included on the flat plan, pay-as-you-go credits on the free one.

Free for you, or one flat fee

Guests pay a booking fee from 3% on the free plan and nothing extra on the flat one. Switch as you grow.

Real-time, two-way channel sync

GetYourGuide, Viator, Airbnb, Booking.com — one calendar, zero double bookings.

FareHarbor’s figures reflect its own publicly published pricing and widely reported third-party data as of September 2026, and are set by FareHarbor — not by TimeKey. Ranges such as “up to 6%” vary by plan and can change at any time; confirm current terms on fareharbor.com before deciding.
