Algarve Circle

Bookings with no commission. Ever.

Big booking platforms take a cut of every table, treatment and tour. Algarve Circle takes nothing: your bookings arrive in your inbox, your money stays yours, and the whole thing comes bundled with your listing, reviews and the local feed.

Why give away a slice of every booking?

What commission platforms give you

  • A percentage taken from every single booking
  • Customers that belong to the platform, not to you
  • Your business listed next to your competitors
  • Rising fees you have no say in

What you get with Algarve Circle

  • Bookings with 0% commission, on every plan that includes them
  • Every booking lands in your own inbox, with the customer attached
  • Your own listing, reviews, photos and feed presence
  • One flat subscription, priced in euros, no surprises

Up and running in an afternoon

  1. 1

    Start with your link

    Already using a booking system you like? From the Solo plan you can put its link right on your listing, so the Circle sends people straight into it.

  2. 2

    Or take bookings here

    On the Pro plan, switch on in-platform booking: set your availability, and requests land in your dashboard inbox for you to confirm.

  3. 3

    Put it on your own site

    Embed the same booking widget on your own website, so every channel feeds one diary. On Elite the widget is white-label, with no Algarve Circle badge.

Everything included, bundled

0% commission

The Circle never takes a cut of your bookings. What your customer pays is what you keep, which is the whole point of a flat subscription.

Requests in your inbox

Every booking request arrives in your dashboard inbox with the customer attached, so confirming, rearranging or upselling is a chat, not an email chain.

Your availability, your rules

Set the days, times and capacity you actually offer. Visitors only see slots you can honour, so no-shows and double-bookings stop at the source.

An embeddable widget

The same booking flow drops into your own website with one snippet, so your Instagram bio, your site and your Circle listing all feed one diary.

Never miss a request

Booking requests notify you the moment they arrive, and your response rate shows on your listing, so being quick becomes part of your reputation.

See what converts

Your analytics show the path from search to listing to booking, so you can see what actually fills your diary rather than guessing.

From a booking link to a full diary

Booking features step up with your plan, and none of them ever carries commission.

  • Solo: a booking link out to your own system, plus the lead inbox and contact form
  • Pro: full in-platform booking with availability, requests to your inbox
  • Elite: the white-label embed, with no Algarve Circle badge on your own site
  • Every plan: your listing, reviews, map pin, events and bilingual content

A booking system that works for the Algarve

Most booking software is built for somewhere else and rented to you piece by piece: a monthly fee for the diary, a commission on every booking, an extra charge for the widget. For a seasonal Algarve business the sums are brutal, because the platforms take their biggest bite exactly when you finally get busy.

Algarve Circle flips that. Bookings are part of your membership, not a revenue stream we skim. Your diary lives next to your listing, your reviews and your place in the local feed, so the person booking is not a stranger from an aggregator but someone who found you the local way. And because the Circle is built and run from the Algarve, the system fits how business actually works here: bilingual by default, priced in euros, no commission, ever.

Frequently asked questions

Does Algarve Circle take commission on bookings?

No. Algarve Circle takes 0% commission on bookings on every plan that includes them. Bookings are part of the flat membership subscription, so what your customer pays is what you keep.

Can I keep the booking system I already use?

Yes. From the Solo plan your listing carries a booking button that links straight into your existing system, whether that is your own site, a widget or a diary app. Nothing about your current setup has to change.

How do in-platform bookings reach me?

Each request lands in your dashboard inbox with the customer attached and notifies you immediately. You confirm, rearrange or decline from there, and your response rate becomes part of your public reputation.

Can visitors book from my own website too?

Yes. The same booking flow embeds on your own site with one snippet, so your website, your Instagram bio link and your Circle listing all feed one diary. On the Elite plan the embed is white-label with no Algarve Circle badge.

What about tickets for events?

Event ticketing works the same local way: 0% commission, with payments going directly into your own Stripe account. Buyers get QR tickets in a wallet and you get a check-in scanner on the door.

What does it cost?

A booking link out to your own system comes with Solo. Full in-platform booking with availability comes with Pro, and the white-label embed with Elite. Current prices in euros are always on the pricing page, and no plan ever adds commission.

One home for your business, the local way.
