No fee on your first $10,000 in bookings.
The 2% only starts after you’ve booked $10k of revenue — and only on bookings going forward. No retroactive billing, no surprises.
Compare plans side by side.
Same 2% per booking on every plan. The monthly price unlocks the rest.
Questions, answered.
What operators ask us most, answered straight.
How does the 2% work?
2% of every booking. Stripe processing fees are separate and go directly to Stripe — we never touch the money.
What if I collect a payment outside Samba?
Then there’s no fee. You can add bookings manually and mark them as paid offline — cash, bank transfer, whatever — and they still live in Samba with the full booking record, traveler details, and communications.
Can I pass the 2% to my travelers?
Yes. You can absorb the 2% in your margin or pass it through as a service fee at checkout — your call, set once at the workspace level. Either way, it’s the same 2% Samba collects.
Do you take a cut of the experience price, or the deposit?
Both — but only once. We charge 2% on the total booking value as the traveler pays. If a traveler pays $2,000 across four installments, we collect 2% of $2,000 over the course of those payments. Never double-counted.
What if I refund a traveler?
Our 2% is refunded along with the booking. You never pay Samba on money you didn’t keep.
What is the “first $10,000 free”?
The first $10,000 in bookings you ever process through Samba is free. No 2%, no anything. It’s there so you can run your first experiences and confirm Samba works for your business before you start paying for it.
What happens when I hit the $10,000 threshold?
Nothing dramatic. The 2% kicks in on bookings past $10,000 — never retroactively. No action required from you when the threshold passes.
Do I need a paid plan to start?
No. Free is free, forever — the full booking engine, 1 user, up to 3 experiences. You move to Pro when you want your own branding, more than 3 experiences, a bigger team, or tools like discount codes.
