This post is part of a series, adapted from emails sent to owners of outdoor centres across the UK who kindly provided advice and input as Swellbase was developed.


It's been a busy couple of weeks working on Swellbase, and things are coming together nicely.

  • ⚡ Main website live at swellbase.io - really pleased with how this has turned out. Lots of info there on our features, comparisons with other booking systems (FareHarbor / Checkfront / Eola), and the ethos behind what I'm building. Let me know what you think!


  • 🛒 Multi-session bookings in one flow. At Blue Coast, we had to create complex workarounds to sell discounts and packages of surf lessons, now it's handled in the booking flow automatically if it's toggled on for that activity. Makes it easy for the customer! You can see it live on the surf lesson item here: https://book.swellbase.io/bluecoast/9EDhsNyf


  • ⭐ Tripadvisor / Google Reviews integrated into the booking widget. Displaying reviews is so important for customer trust, and Swellbase now has native integrations with Tripadvisor and Google Reviews. You can pick what you'd like to display.


What's next

Dealing with Stripe payments over the next 2 weeks, all on track for going live in March. If you'd like me to create you a login so you can have a click around how it works so far and get a feel for the product, let me know!
