The Register is a quick checkout for guests who arrive in person. You pick a timeslot, choose tickets, take payment, and check the guests in without leaving the screen.

Before you begin. The Register appears in the navigation only for team members with the Create new trips permission. It isn't available to reseller agents or on mobile.

Find the timeslot

  1. Choose Register in the navigation. The page opens on Checkout, with today's availability.
  2. Select the Date filter to look at another day.
  3. Narrow the list with the Categories, Activities, and Locations filters. Clear filters puts them back. To keep a set of filters, select the save icon in the page header to save it as a view.
  4. Choose a timeslot to start the booking.

To look up an existing booking instead, switch the header from Checkout to Search Trips (it uses your account's word for trips).
