How do I create a BookingFish account?

Registration is free and instant. Click "Create a free account", fill in your information (name, email, boat name) and you're in. No credit card required. You can explore all features without any commitment.

How do I connect the WordPress plugin to my account?

After installing the free plugin on your WordPress site, go to the member area (Zone Membre) and log in. Your embed codes will automatically sync with your site. You can then create booking pages with one click.

How do I configure my booking calendar?

In your dashboard, go to "Boats Calendar". Create your boat, select the months you want to offer, set your time slots (8h day, 4h morning, 4h evening) and your deposit price. Then click "Publish" to make the calendar available for reservations.

What is an annual package and when is it worthwhile?

An annual package allows unlimited reservations for 1 to 5 years per boat for a flat fee. It becomes economical as soon as you have 6 or more reservations per year (6 × $25 = $150 > annual package cost from $149). You keep 100% of each deposit.

How do I set up Stripe payments?

In "Booking Payment", click "Connect with Stripe Express" and follow the steps on Stripe (identity verification, bank account). Once connected, BookingFish uses the Stripe payment gateway to transfer your clients' payments directly to you. BookingFish never has access to your bank account — only Stripe handles the transfers.

How do I share my booking form with my clients?

In "Booking URL", you'll find your booking form link. Share it on Facebook, Instagram, your website or by email. You can also embed it directly on your site using the provided WordPress shortcode.

How does the mobile calendar (Sync-Cell) work?

In "Booking Sync-Cell", generate an ICS calendar link. Add this link to your Google Calendar, Outlook or Apple Calendar on your phone. You'll see all your reservations in real time, even offline. You can also share this calendar with your guides.

How do I create a gift certificate?

In "Booking Certificat", choose an amount (based on your boat prices), generate the certificate and share the purchase link with your clients. They can buy it online and the recipient uses it to book a fishing trip.

Can I manage multiple boats?

Yes! You can add as many boats as you want. Each boat has its own independent calendar, time slots and pricing. You can manage them all from the same dashboard.

What happens if a reservation is cancelled?

If you cancel a reservation and refund your client, BookingFish automatically refunds your $25 reservation fee. If you are on an annual plan, you simply lose the Stripe fees (2.9% + $0.30).

Can I add guides/employees?

Yes, in "Booking Sync-Cell" you can generate access tokens for your guides. They get read-only access to the booking calendar on their mobile device, without being able to modify anything.

Is my data secure?

Yes. All connections are encrypted (HTTPS/SSL). Payments are processed directly by Stripe — BookingFish never stores your credit card numbers. Your data is hosted in Canada.
