Open source

Built in the open. Owned by no one but you.

Wayflower works like WordPress and Ghost: the software is public and free to run yourself, and a hosted version — kept fast, safe, updated and supported by real people — costs 1% of online bookings. Same software either way.

Why open source matters to a tour operator.

No hostage situations

If we ever raised prices unreasonably or disappeared, you — or any developer you hire — could keep running the exact same system.

Nothing hidden

How fees are calculated, how seats are held, what happens to your data: it’s all readable by anyone.

Built with operators

Operators and their developers can suggest and contribute the features they need.

Licensing: the Wayflower server and dashboard are AGPL-3.0, so improvements to hosted versions stay open. The embeddable booking widget and the core booking library are MIT, so they can live on any website without license worries. “Wayflower” and the flower mark are trademarks of Wayflower; forks are welcome under their own name.
