How Travora Hub Works: From Application to First Booking

What we do, what you do, and what happens after the site is live.

Most delays in launching a booking site have nothing to do with software. They come from supplier approvals and gateway applications, which only you can complete. Knowing that in advance is the most useful thing on this page.

Here is the process as it actually runs, including the parts that sit with you.

Key features

  • A short application

    Tell us about your agency and pick the suppliers you already use from the form. There is nothing to pay at this stage.

  • Try before you pay

    We set up a demo site and start a 5-day free trial with no card.

  • We do the setup

    Logo, colours, domain, supplier connections, markup and payment gateway are all configured by our team.

  • A live site on your domain

    Your own domain with SSL comes with the Professional plan. Basic runs on a subdomain.

  • Help after launch

    A Help Center with setup guides in English and Arabic, plus support that depends on your plan.

Step 1: Apply

Fill in the form on our homepage with your agency details and what you sell. We reply within 24 hours. If you would rather talk first, the contact page has our details. No payment or card is needed.

Step 2: Try it

We set up a demo site, usually with demo hotel inventory, your branding as a preview and access to the admin dashboard, for 5 days. Use the time on the things your staff will do every day: add a package, change a price, read a booking. You can also open our public demo at any time to see the customer side.

Step 3: Bring your accounts

You need a contract with each supplier you want to sell, and an account with a payment gateway. Only you can apply, because these contracts are between your business and the supplier. We help with the application and tell you what each one tends to ask for. Approval times are up to the supplier, and some will take longer than the rest of the setup combined. If you are waiting on several, you can launch with the first one approved and add the others later.

Step 4: We set up your site

You send your logo, colours, domain details, supplier keys and pricing rules. We configure them, test each connection, and point your domain at the platform. Most agencies are taking bookings in about 48 hours from this point. You do not write any code.

Step 5: Your first booking

A customer searches, sees your marked-up price, pays through your gateway and gets a confirmation and voucher under your agency name. The booking appears in your dashboard with its status, what you paid the supplier and what you charged. The money goes to your gateway account.

After you go live

Your staff run daily work from the dashboard: bookings, deals, packages, blog posts, newsletters and prices. A needs-attention list shows what requires action, such as a booking that failed after payment. An upcoming trips board shows check-ins and departures. A profit board compares what each booking cost you with what you charged.

We run the servers, SSL, updates and supplier API changes, and the changelog lists what has shipped. Support depends on your plan: priority email on Basic, a named account manager on Professional and a direct line to the developers on On Demand. An Android app in your agency's name can be built from your live site, and the iPhone version needs your own Apple Developer account.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I really go live in 48 hours?

Most agencies do once their supplier and gateway accounts are ready. If you still need a supplier to approve you, that wait comes first, and we cannot shorten it.

Do I need a developer?

No. We do the setup, and your staff use the dashboard. Custom features on the On Demand plan are built by our developers.

Is there a setup fee?

No. Plans are a monthly fee with no setup fee and no commission on bookings. See the pricing page for current prices.

What if I already have a website?

You can point your domain at your new booking site when it is ready, or keep your existing site and link to the booking site from it.

Who talks to my customers?

You do. The site, emails and vouchers carry your agency name, and customers contact you. We support your team.
