Most booking software was built to sell one thing: a time slot. But an outdoor sports school sells a whole experience — a beginner course, the board rental that goes with it, a shuttle to the spot, a locker for the day, maybe a night in the camp. When each of those lives in a different tool, guests abandon, staff re-key orders, and the numbers never quite line up. TIDEFORCE — the Commerce & Operations Platform for Outdoor Sports Schools — puts all of it in one cart, one checkout and one connected back office, so what you sell and what you get paid for finally match.
What it does
One cart for 12 types of thing you sell
Courses, lessons, rentals, tours, events, camps, shuttles, accommodation, camping, lockers, add-ons and vouchers all live in a single real cartA guest can book a beginner course, add a wetsuit rental, reserve a locker and buy a voucher for a friendRead moreRead less→
Courses, lessons, rentals, tours, events, camps, shuttles, accommodation, camping, lockers, add-ons and vouchers all live in a single real cart. A guest can book a beginner course, add a wetsuit rental, reserve a locker and buy a voucher for a friend — in one transaction and one payment. You're selling the full day, not forcing customers through four separate checkouts to do it.

Your guests are booking from a phone on a beach, a campsite or a train. The checkout is built mobile-first so it actually completes on a small screen, in the moment someone decides to go. You can preview a draft of your storefront before publishing with Live Preview, and embed a schedule widget on your existing site so availability lives where your visitors already are.
Payments and connected invoicing

Payments are handled in the checkout, and invoices are created directly from a booking or a payment — with the data already connected and multi-rate VAT supported. You confirm each invoice before it goes out, so the numbers stay under your control rather than being generated blindly. For partners and providers there's B2B provider invoicing, with their own role, account and access level so they can place and manage their own bookings.
Add-ons and upsell on bookings that already exist

A booking isn't frozen the moment it's paid. Your staff can add extras to an existing booking — an add-on, a rental, a locker, a shuttle — so when a guest asks for more at the desk, you capture it instead of losing it. Combined with seasonal pricing per activity and location, Pricing Modes, and capacity per slot, activity, day and season, you control exactly what's available and what it costs across the year.
Built for guests, with confirmations and vouchers included

Email confirmations and reminders go out automatically, vouchers are built in, and multi-location schools can sell across every spot from one place. Everything is GDPR-compliant and hosted in the EU on Google Cloud, and the data is yours — TIDEFORCE is not a marketplace sitting between you and your customers, and there's no take-rate skimmed by a third party beyond the platform's own.

Frequently asked questions
01Can a guest book a course, a rental and a locker in one go?
+
Yes. There's a single real cart covering 12 types — courses, lessons, rentals, tours, events, camps, shuttles, accommodation, camping, lockers, add-ons and vouchers — so a guest can combine several of them in one checkout and pay once.
02Does the checkout work well on a phone?
+
Yes. The checkout is built mobile-first, since most guests book from a phone. You can also preview your storefront with Live Preview before publishing and embed a schedule widget on your existing website.
03How does invoicing work?
+
Invoices are created directly from a booking or a payment, with the data already connected and multi-rate VAT supported. You confirm each invoice before it's issued, so you stay in control. Automatic invoice-on-payment with emailed legal invoices is planned, not yet available.
04Can staff add things to a booking after it's been made?
+
Yes. Your team can add add-ons, rentals, lockers or shuttles to an existing booking, so when a guest asks for more at the desk you capture it rather than losing the sale.
05Is TIDEFORCE a marketplace?
+
No. TIDEFORCE is a commerce and operations platform you run under your own brand. The data is yours, it's hosted in the EU on Google Cloud and GDPR-compliant, and there's no marketplace sitting between you and your customers.
06What does it cost?
+
A flat take-rate of 6.9% per processed transaction, with payment fees included and no setup or monthly fee.
