Bank card (online POS): The fast and automated standard

It is the most used and fastest option to confirm a reservation instantly.

Maximum security (SCA) : By selecting this option, the system redirects the user to the online POS terminal with bank two-factor authentication protocol on their mobile phone, preventing possible fraud or duplication.

Immediate confirmation : Once the transaction is authorized by your bank, the reservation is automatically registered in your calendar without you having to carry out any additional procedures.

No gateway fees for the advertiser : Sailwiz covers all fees charged by the bank gateway. Your payment remains unaffected and there are no hidden card processing charges.

Bank transfer: Trust without last-minute risks

For those users who prefer not to enter bank details on the website, we offer the option of making a direct deposit into the Sailwiz account.

48-hour temporary hold : The spot is temporarily reserved while the user completes the process and uploads their proof of payment to the platform. If they don't provide the proof of payment within the deadline, the spot will be automatically released to avoid losing sales opportunities.

Sailwiz validates the payment : Our team takes care of reviewing and verifying the bank documentation uploaded by the client. You don't need to waste time tracking account entries.

Last-minute booking protection : To ensure your peace of mind and avoid unexpected cancellations before the activity starts, this option is automatically deactivated when there are less than 5 days left until the activity.

Bizum: The key tool for quick bookings

Bizum combines the immediacy of a card with the convenience of using only your mobile phone, making it the preferred option for quick payments of up to €1,000.

One-minute process : The user simply enters their phone number, confirms in their bank's app, and the spot is instantly reserved in your listing.

High conversion : It is the ideal tool to capture last-minute bookings or impulsive purchase decisions, offering a seamless experience from any mobile device.

Accumulated balance (Gift cards and miles)

Customers can also pay for their activities in full or in part using the balance available in their Sailwiz profile, encouraging repeat business and attracting new users.

Gift Cards : These allow you to give a gift of credit for browsing or training. They are the perfect option for users who haven't yet decided on a date but want to secure their budget.

Miles Program ( Sailing Credit ) : Loyalty program with which users accumulate credit by inviting other users, leaving reviews of their experiences or participating in promotions.

Your settlement remains unaffected : Miles redeemed by users are applied exclusively to the Sailwiz commission. Your payout as an advertiser remains 100% intact.

Are there any financing options available?

For most activities, Sailwiz offers the option for users to pay only part of the amount when making the reservation, allowing them to divide the total payment into several installments .

Offering financing options to users increases the likelihood of securing bookings, as users appreciate this flexibility and it also gives them greater confidence to make the purchase.
