Booking software for pop-up experiences

Sell out capacity-managed sessions wherever you pop up — card payments, capacity holds and an embeddable booking page, while you run the show.

Built for saunas, ice baths, wild swims, tours, tastings, workshops — anything that books by the session.

Free to set up — we take a 5% platform fee on card payments, and that's it.

Everything a pop-up needs, nothing it doesn't

Built for operators who take bookings in a field, on a beach, in a taproom or by a reservoir — anywhere sessions sell out.

Sessions in bulk

Generate a whole weekend of slots in one go — session length, capacity, price and turnaround breaks handled.

Card payments by Stripe

Customers pay at checkout on their phones. Confirmations, cancellations and webhooks handled for you.

No overbooking, ever

Spots are held for 15 minutes while customers pay, then released automatically if they wander off.

Embeds anywhere

Drop one script tag into an event organiser's site and your booking page appears — branded to you, not us.

A clean JSON API

Published events and live availability, ready for your own site, apps or partners. CORS included.

A simple dashboard

Revenue, upcoming sessions and every booking searchable — from the beach, the bank or the back of the van.

Made for days like these
