Stop Paying Percentage Commissions on Your Holiday Camps & Activities
Pebble (formerly Bookpebble) is a modern platform for children's activities and holiday clubs, but its commission-based commercial model takes between 2.5% and 3.0% of your gross booking value on top of monthly subscription charges. When you run high-capacity summer camps or holiday workshops turning over £10,000 to £25,000, paying percentage commissions significantly erodes your operating profit.
SmartBookings provides an independent, brand-first online booking system on a simple flat subscription model with zero commission.
