Who Pindrop is for
Pindrop is built for professional travel agents who plan group trips and want a simple way to fill them and collect payment. Instead of juggling spreadsheets, invoices, and chasing deposits, you post a trip once and let travelers book and pay their own share.
How to post a trip
- Sign up and choose the Travel Agent account type.
- Complete your agent profile and connect Stripe so you can receive payouts.
- Create a trip with an itinerary, room options, pricing, and photos.
- Turn on split payment so each traveler can pay their own share.
- Publish — your trip goes live on the marketplace and your shareable profile.
How travelers pay
When split payment is on, the lead traveler books and invites co-travelers by email. Each co-traveler pays their own deposit through a secure invite link, and if you offer a payment plan, their balance is divided into scheduled installments before departure. Every payment is processed securely through Stripe.
How you get paid
Payouts for completed bookings are deposited automatically to the bank account on your connected Stripe profile. Pindrop's platform fee applies to completed bookings and starts at 5% on the free plan, dropping to as low as 2% on higher tiers.
