Sick of chasing payments for 3 months?

"Hey, did you pay yet?" is the worst text to send—and worse to send 12 times.

Set up payment plans once, enable auto-charge, and you're done. Travelers' cards are charged automatically on schedule. They get reminders before each payment and receipts after. You get notified when money hits your account.

When trip details live in your head (or scattered across texts), you become a full-time FAQ machine.

Create a beautiful booking page with packages, rooms, pricing, and itinerary—shareable with one link. Your travelers get the info they need. You stop repeating yourself.

Plus, collect traveler details (passport info, dietary restrictions, roommate preferences) right at checkout—no more copying from screenshots.

"I used to spend hours answering the same questions. Now I send my SquadTrip link and they have everything—and I get all their info automatically."

Send reminders without being "that person"

Nobody wants to be the friend who's always asking about money. But someone has to.

Let SquadTrip be the bad guy. Automatic payment reminders go out before each due date—professional, friendly, and not from your personal number. Failed payment? We notify them and retry automatically.

📧 Automatic email reminders
🔄 Auto-retry failed payments
📱 SMS notifications available

"The automatic reminders are a lifesaver. I don't have to nag anyone, and everyone still pays on time. When a card fails, SquadTrip handles it—I just get an alert."

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes—that's exactly why we built SquadTrip. Instead of chasing Venmo payments and tracking everything in a spreadsheet, you create one booking page, set up automatic payment plans, and let the platform handle reminders and tracking. Most organizers say it saves them 10+ hours per trip.
Venmo is great for splitting a dinner tab, but group trips involve thousands of dollars, multiple payments over months, and detailed traveler information. SquadTrip gives you automatic payment plans, a real-time dashboard showing who paid, professional booking pages, and automatic reminders—so you're not chasing people or updating spreadsheets for months.
SquadTrip works for trips of any size. Planning a bachelorette for 8 people? Perfect. Running a travel business with 500 guests per trip? Also perfect. The free plan works great for smaller trips, and you can upgrade as your needs grow.
SquadTrip is free to start. We offer a free plan plus paid plans starting at $29/month with additional features. Booking fees are 6%, which includes the credit card processing fee (2.9% + 30¢) that Stripe charges. So if your trip costs $1,000, your traveler pays $1,060—you receive $1,000, and the $60 covers Stripe and our platform fee. No hidden fees, no surprises.
Not at all. Your travelers see a clean booking page, select their package, enter their info, and pay with a credit card or Apple Pay. If they choose a payment plan, their card is charged automatically each month. They can also log into a traveler portal to update their payment method, view receipts, and see their balance. Most travelers find it easier than receiving Venmo requests.
SquadTrip automatically retries failed payments and sends the traveler a notification to update their card. You get an alert so you know what's happening, but you don't have to chase anyone down. The platform handles it.
Absolutely. You can create your first trip for free—no credit card required. You'll only pay a payment processing fee, which can be passed on to your travelers.
When travelers pay, the money goes to your connected Stripe account and is deposited into your bank account. You can set up daily or weekly payouts. SquadTrip never holds your money—it goes directly from your traveler's card to your bank through Stripe.
