There are three layers — and operators only ever touch the top one.
The software you run day to day — calendar, payments, customer comms. FareHarbor, Bokun, Rezdy, Peek Pro, Xola… and ReservZs.
You are hereThe layer that connects your booking system to multiple OTAs at once. When a traveler books on Viator, it updates availability everywhere automatically.
The missing pieceThe OTA's supplier API — Viator's Partner API, GetYourGuide's, and so on. These are gated: only certified connectivity partners may connect.
Certified partners onlyThe key insight: you can't just sign up and connect to Viator or GetYourGuide yourself. Those OTAs only accept connections from certified booking systems. That's why the market has consolidated into two vertical stacks that quietly steer you toward their own OTA:
Tripadvisor owns Bokun (booking system) + Viator (OTA) + Tripadvisor (discovery). Booking Holdings owns FareHarbor (booking system) + Booking.com (distribution). If your booking system and your OTA are owned by the same company, you're not choosing a channel — you're choosing their channel.
ReservZs is independent. That's the whole point: an independent, commission-free channel manager that lets you reach the OTAs you want, on terms you control.
You don't have to wait for an OTA integration to expand your reach. This works right now, at zero cost.
ReservZs generates trackable booking links to your own checkout. Place them anywhere people discover you — partner websites, local blogs, destination marketing organizations (DMOs), tourism boards, social profiles, QR codes at your location, email footers, and more.
Every click goes straight to your booking flow with your live availability and pricing. The booking is a direct booking: $0 commission, your customer, your data. You can see exactly which links drive bookings, so you know where to invest your effort.
Generate links you can tag by source so you know which partner, blog, or campaign drove each booking.
Attribution built inLinks open your branded booking flow — your logo, your colors, your domain. It looks and feels like you.

Roadmap is directional and may change. OTA commissions are set by each OTA and change periodically — confirm current rates with each provider.
OTA commission is real — but the question is who sets it and whether anyone marks it up.
OTA commission + platform per-booking fee
no markup on OTA commission
OTA distribution means listing your tours, activities, and rentals on Online Travel Agencies like Viator, GetYourGuide, Klook, and Booking.com so travelers who shop on those platforms can find and book you. It expands your reach beyond your own website, usually in exchange for a per-booking commission set by the OTA.
Usually no. Operators connect to OTAs through their booking system's channel manager. OTAs expose supplier APIs, but only certified connectivity partners — booking systems like Bokun, Rezdy, FareHarbor, Peek Pro, and Xola — are allowed to connect. ReservZs is building a channel manager so its operators can reach OTAs too.
ReservZs takes nothing on top of the OTA's commission. Direct bookings on ReservZs remain $0 commission. When you opt into an OTA channel, the commission is set by the OTA and passed through — you see exactly what each channel costs, with no markup from us.
Affiliate and white-label booking links are trackable links to your own ReservZs checkout that you can place on partner sites, blogs, destination marketing sites, social profiles, and anywhere else. They cost nothing, take no commission, and let you distribute your inventory today without waiting for an OTA integration.
Our roadmap targets Google Things to Do first (free, 0% commission), then Viator and GetYourGuide, then Klook, Airbnb Experiences, and Booking.com. We're building on the open OCTO standard so each new channel becomes configuration rather than a bespoke project.
No. ReservZs is independent — we don't own an OTA and we don't steer you toward one. Every channel is opt-in, per operator and per channel. You choose your channels and your margins, and direct bookings stay commission-free.
Both, ideally. Google Things to Do is free and captures high-intent searches on Google with 0% commission. OTAs bring their own demand but charge 20–30%. Use Google and affiliate links for direct, commission-free bookings, and opt into OTAs when the extra reach is worth the commission to you.
