Or take payments in different currencies, but hey - they are working on that. Also not easy to hide certain products from the public and only allow access with an URL for special events or products that may only be viewed by some customers. Resource management feature is not live yet, but it sounds like this will be a complete game-changer; making it possible to manage all guides, transport, the hiring of equipment and even activities and accommodation required for trips and tours. > > I've been using Checkfront since day 1 and also have been one of the first companies that support their tour operator applications. I think it is now almost 11 years.. What can I say, just 'simply the best\! I've met the team at a conference/travel technology event once and it just shows that this company is built and run by people - real people with a passion to make it easier for anyone to run their business without worrying about the technical details. Keep it up Team Checkfront\! ----- ### "Solid, feature-filled software product that seamlessly integrates with our business" — 4.0/5 > **Brian** | *February 8, 2019* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Checkfront is easy to use for our customers, extremely reliable on the back-end, provides amazing value for our business at its cost, is continually improving their product, and provides fast and clear-cut support for any issues. It is easy to integrate with our existing services and online presentation, giving our customers a seamless and easy-to-use experience when ordering through our website. > > **Cons**: Sometimes I wish the customizations for automated email communications were more granular in terms of controlling what information goes out and comes in based on product types. > > Checkfront very easily allowed us to move the vast majority of our reservations from over the phone reservations to online reservations freeing valuable staff time. Nothing but good feelings about Checkfront. ----- ### "This is the worst software I have ever used" — 1.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *November 7, 2022* | Leisure, Travel & Tourism | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Customer service is generally helpful when the software or back end service fails. Unfortunately I need to use this a lot. > > **Cons**: The user interface and user experience is entirely nonsensical. The most basic, basic thing a guide needs is to check in guests on a tour. Checkfront doesn't even show the guide how many people are on the tour. It doesn't alphabetize the guests, so the guide has to search through a list of randomly sorted names every time a guest comes in. Many guides in our company have refused to use Checkfront at all, and simply don't check in the guests. Many customers show up on our tour without booking, because they said they couldn't figure out the Checkfront booking system. How many customers and how much money have we lost because of the Checkfront UI? We'll never know. > > Checkfront is, honestly and truly, the worst product I have ever used. Unfortunately our company requires it.I truly dislike every aspect of using Checkfront. As bad as it is for the customers and guides, the backend administrative side is even worse. Everything you'll want to do to set up tours will take at least three times as long as you expect. You'll be making frequent contact with customer service when the product fails. And even with all that work, it still lacks extremely basic functionality. ----- ### "Awesome, simply awesome" — 5.0/5 > **Scott** | *September 15, 2016* | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I am able to integrate nearly my entire workflow in one place from reservation to payment, notifications and more. For me, it just works. > > **Cons**: Can't think of anything off hand. If it could take my volunteer application as well, that would have 100% of my work in one package. > > I book over a hundred volunteers each year and it's a one-person show here. I don't know how I did it before CheckFront, I really don't. So many steps are now automated for me and it's a breeze to keep track of bookings. I use notifications a lot to send volunteer handbooks, orientation videos and other important documents that I used to have to track and send manually. What a relief to be done with that and to be using notifications instead. ----- ### "Everything you need as a guide" — 5.0/5 > **Andrew** | *August 18, 2018* | Leisure, Travel & Tourism | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Checkfront allows you to set up a tour guide website relatively quickly without the hassle of knowing how to code. Although the designs are limited they are perfect for displaying tours available for your clients and making it easy for them to check availability and book tours. The backend system is what makes this powerful, allowing me to manage my tours whether they were booked through the site or via agents. > > **Cons**: Some of the set-up if requiring special options is rather complicated but the help notes are clear and comprehensive. It is just a matter of persevering and checking to make sure you've got it set up right. > > Checkfront allows me to have a customer website to take bookings but also the ability to take bookings and payments from a variety of other sources and manage them all in one place. ----- Page: 1 / 14\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/9408/checkfront?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/9408/checkfront) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
