When creating your trip, you can choose to pass on all fees to your clients, pass on only credit card fees or absorb all fees yourself.
You can make a choice in your trip builder's pricing section by choosing between three options:
If applicable, card fees are paid by participant. This means that you will pay the 1%+30c WeTravel processing fee and card fees are passed on to your participants. The net amount earned for your trip is the trip price, less WeTravel processing fee.
All fees are paid by participant. This means that both the WeTravel processing fee and all card fees are passed on to your participants. The net amount earned for your trip is the trip price.
All fees are paid by organizer. This means that both the WeTravel processing fee and all card fees are absorbed by you. The net amount earned for your trip is the trip price, less WeTravel processing fee and card fees.
