Booking system for
activities
Minimise the time spent answering calls and emails by using a booking system designed for activities.
The complete solution for activity providers
BookSpot is an online booking system for activities. The booking system makes it easy to receive bookings, accept online payments, and get a clear overview of today’s and the week’s bookings.
The major advantages are that it helps you increase your revenue by allowing you to receive bookings “while you sleep,” you can add smart add-on products, and you can optimise your booking capacity without fearing double bookings.
Easier bookings for you and your customers
An online booking system allows you to receive more bookings, as you don’t need to spend time creating bookings yourself. Customers make their bookings on your website and pay at the same time. This allows you to spend your time developing your business, for example, by dedicating more time to your visiting customers.
BookSpot keeps your bookings organised, so you don’t have to keep the information in your head. All information is structured and listed in front of you, and the system tracks available spots/products to prevent double bookings.

Maximise bookings with OTAs
Grow your business, attract more customers, and boost bookings with Online Travel Agencies (OTAs).
Bookings from OTAs sync automatically with BookSpot, letting you manage all bookings in one system while keeping your availability updated in real-time for peace of mind.
Different types of booking systems
The most important thing when choosing a booking system is to find one that is tailored to the business you run. A booking system for restaurant reservations is rarely suitable for a bike rental service.
A good tip is to choose a booking system that you know is used by other similar businesses and fits your needs.
It is also a great advantage to choose a system with Swedish support, making it easy for you to ask questions and explain any issues.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a booking system cost?
There are different pricing models for various booking systems. For some smaller systems, you pay a fixed monthly fee, while for others, you pay a percentage of your booking value (often between 3-9%). There are also booking systems where you pay a combination of a fixed fee and a percentage fee.
Which is best for you depends on the nature of your business. Generally, the more online bookings you manage to attract, the better positioned you are to free up time to develop your business in other ways. It is almost always worth the investment to use a booking system instead of relying on paper and pen.
There are a few providers that offer free booking systems for a limited time or with certain limitations in functionality and usage.
How does a booking system work?
Most modern booking systems are web-based, allowing you to log in from any device. In the system, you can add bookable products and set prices and booking durations.
You can also manage settings such as your business’s opening hours and the availability for each activity/product.
How do my customers access the booking system?
BookSpot is implemented on your website in a few minutes. You receive a code snippet from us that you copy and paste into the source code of your webpage. Once the code snippet is saved in the correct place in your source code, a booking button will appear on your website.
When a visitor to your website clicks on the booking button, they gain access to the booking system and all your activities/products. The customer selects the desired date and time, and completes the booking via the payment function (usually by card or Swish).
Once the customer has made a booking, a booking confirmation is sent to their email. As the administrator, you can see that the booking has been entered into the system, allowing you to prepare everything needed to give the customer the best experience.
How do you get started with a booking system for activities?
Getting started with the BookSpot booking system is very easy.
Typically, we begin with a demo to show you the available features and help you learn to navigate the system. Then, we assist you with the simple implementation on your website and help you set up your bookable products and configure your opening hours.
After that, you’re ready to go!
What are the most common reasons for getting a booking system for activities?
The most common reason for getting a booking system for your activity business is to save time. Since all bookings come in automatically (i.e., they don’t need to go through you or anyone else), you free up a lot of time to do more value-creating activities in your business.
Another reason is that you get organized with your bookings and finances, as everything is collected in one place.
