2025: New Platform Updates and Pricing Options

Since our last pricing update in August 2022, we’ve been working to improve our platform to reduce inefficiencies and improve accuracy, enhancing your overall experience with TripCreator.

Our recent updates include:


  • Optimized System Performance: Enjoy a faster, more reliable platform that keeps your operations running efficiently.


  • Improved Itinerary Duplication: Use our updated tools for copying and modifying travel itineraries more effectively.


  • Flexible Pricing Options: Take advantage of a pricing structure that adapts to your specific business needs.


  • Revamped Invoicing Process: Experience more straightforward transactions with our updated invoicing system.


  • Open API and Third-Party Integrations: We’ve introduced an open API that connects with popular tools like Bokun, Travia, and Xero, providing enhanced customization and automation capabilities for your travel planning processes.


This is just the beginning of exciting changes that will be brought to the platform in the coming months. To continue delivering top-tier innovation and reliability, we’re adjusting our pricing, ensuring you stay ahead with cutting-edge tools and a solution that grows with your business.


New Pricing Plans


In line with our commitment to continuous improvement, we are updating our pricing model effective June 1, 2025.

This change allows us to keep offering tools and features that grow with your business.


From 1st of June 2025, the new prices are as following:


  • Standard Plan:
    • Monthly: $79
    • Annually: $69


  • Pro Plan:
    • Monthly: $139
    • Annually: $119


For current annual subscribers, your existing rates will remain in place until your plan is up for renewal. You also have the option to secure these new rates by switching to an annual plan or renewing early.


Looking Ahead


Our team is committed to ongoing enhancements, and you can expect additional updates and features in the coming months. Whether you’re a long-time member of our community or new to TripCreator, our goal is to provide you with reliable tools that help you create memorable travel experiences for your clients and customers.


Detailed list of recent changes


General overview

 

  • Standard and Pro plan subscriptions
  • Generally speaking, V2 is much quicker – Dashboard loading, Operation module filter loading, etc. Issues such as onscreen errors related to labels have been fixed. Disconnect of pricing table and operation module services has been fixed. We have completely re-written the map engine for more accurate map presentation. Inviting users should not give issues anymore. Limiting the global search (All products search) can now be limited to one or as many markets as you wish, whereas V1 had a limited number possible.
  • For migrated accounts, the Dashboard (and Operation module, in the Pro subscription) is split into two tabs: New and future itineraries (V2) and Current and previous itineraries (V1). The V1 view shows all the itineraries you have in the old system, these will remain there. All new itineraries are created in V2. 
  • When you work on V1 itineraries, you will communicate with the old system. When you create new itineraries (V2), you will communicate to the new system. 
  • As time passes, you will find yourself working exclusively in V2.


Itinerary duplication


  • Standard and Pro plan subscriptions
  • You can move itineraries from V1 to V2 by going to Current and previous itineraries (V1) > the three dotted menu > Duplicate to V2. 
  • You should not move itineraries for the sake of moving them, but rather do so if you are creating a new itinerary based on an existing V1 itinerary. 
  • Due to how itineraries are structured and calculated in V2, you might experience a slight difference when an itinerary has been moved from V1 to V2. This is why you should keep existing itineraries for your current customers in V1, and only create new itineraries in V2, either from scratch or by duplicating them from V1 to V2.
  • In V1, you can still make duplicates, such as if you need to create a new version of an itinerary for the same customer. We suggest to keep V1 itineraries in V1 in this case, as if you create a new dupliction for the same customer in V2, you might see a slight difference in the itinerary data. If you are duplicating a V1 itinerary for a new customer, then we suggest to duplicate the itinerary to V2 and keep on working there. All new itinerary projects should be worked in V2.
  • The duplication modal (on Dashboard – for the itinerary in question, three dotted menu on the far right) has changed. It allows choices now – you are asked what you want to include in the new itinerary. The most noticable new possibility is to be able to choose to fetch rates from the inventory, rather than just use the old rates from the old itinerary. 
  • This is useful, as an example, if you are creating a new itinerary for a new customer, but would like to use the most recent rates from the inventory.
  • If you are creating a duplicate for the same customer, as an example to create a version or a variation, then you might want to base the new duplication on rates from the itinerary.
  • Another noticable change is the ability to be able to select a new start date for an itinerary in the duplication process. We did this because we noticed that for new itineraries, the first action after duplication was to navigate to the Itinerary settings to change the dates of the itinerary. This should result in less issues in terms of date changes, as it is easier to select the start date opposed to selecting the itinerary duration when changing dates.


Itinerary configuration


  • Standard and Pro plan subscriptions
  • Presentation tabs can now be overridden in Itinerary settings, where you can also set the Included / Excluded for the Pricing tab of the itinerary.
  • Presentation images (Itinerary header images) will no longer populate automatically. It means that your itineraries will no longer show irrelevant header images.
  • Itinerary settings also allows you to set and change Itinerary subtitle and Itinerary Pricing note, as well as the Pricing Summary note (for the Pricing tab of the itinerary).
  • Add days before itineraries (using the three dotted menu of any day in the planner) works more logically in V2. Adding a day before the itinerary should now be a one-step action rather than having to add the day and then head to Itinerary settings to reschedule the itinerary as a second step.


Itinerary pricing


  • Pro plan subscription
  • We are now allowing you to price hotel rooms on hotels in the inventory. We have reduced the possibilities to price hotels to per night and per person (the other unit types were calculated the same as per night, so the reduction is effectively none – but more clear now). 
  • In the Pro subscription, Per person items can now be configured more broadly: 
  • In V1, Per person items were calculated 1 person using 1 unit (such as 1 person having 1 bottle of water)
  • In V2 you can configure 1 person to use more than 1 unit (such as 1 person having 2 bottles of water). 
  • In V2, the Per person lines are therefore read: x number of Adults, having y number of units each, whereas units are read: x number of Adults sharing y number of units.
  • Per day items in the Pricing table receive the Unit count (days) from started days in the itinerary. An item below 24 hour duration will be calculated with 1 Unit, itinerary with 25 hours will be 2 Units (two started days), and so forth. You will not be able to configure the number of days in the Pricing table.
  • Per hour items in the Pricing table receive the Unit count (hours) from the number of hours (duration) of the item itself. You will not be able to configure the number of hours in the Pricing table.
  • Per night items in the Pricing table will receive the Unit count (nights) from the number of nights (duration) of the item itself. This has always been the case for Stays (Accommodation), but has now been extended to other per night items. You will not be able to configure the number of nights in the Pricing table.
  • With the changes mentioned, you should always be able to accurately charge your products. With the V2 changes, we are sharpening and expanding the unit type calculations without compromising or changing how you use the Pricing table drastically. The most impactful visual appearance is how Per person items are presented in the Pricing table in V2.


Itinerary booking flow and invoicing


  • Pro plan subscription
  • The TripCreator booking engine has been replaced with the invoicing checkout. This allows us to develop one checkout rather than two – and to add more features without having to maintain two system modules doing the same. 
  • The Proceed to booking button (Online booking mode) how uses the invoicing checkout.
  • When the Online booking mode has been enabled for an itinerary, you’ll see a Booking section in the Itinerary settings.
  • The Booking section currently has one new toggle: Issue invoice on payment confirmation. This toggle decides whether an invoice is issued upon booking completion or whether the system issues a new type of a confirmation called: Booking summary.
  • It means that you can accept bookings without issuing invoices (previously, the system would always issue an invoice upon a booking being made in the TripCreator Booking engine). This means that you can now accept bookings, and issue invoices through any 3rd party system.
  • The old Sales (Settings > Sales) has been deprecated. It only shows for accounts with existing sales through the old TripCreator Booking engine.
  • New sales (invoices) and Booking summaries will show under the combined Sales view found on the left hand menu (used to be named Invoices).
  • Each entry has a Type column, which either shows Invoice or Booking summary. 
  • In the new invoice checkout flow, customer data will be created as an Account or a Contact in the CRM, depending on whether the Company field is filled out or not (in the old TripCreator Booking engine, the customer data was only found in the sales record).


API and integrations


  • Pro plan subscription
  • V2 boasts of a completely redeveloped open API.
  • V2 introduces integrations provided by TripCreator, such as Bokun and Travia, and also the ability to allow you to develop your custom integrations through the new open API.
