Partner case LeisureKing: the fastest growing ticket and reservation system

LeisureKing's ticketing and reservation system is there for any kind of day recreation. It is a total package that entrepreneurs in the leisure industry can easily link to their own website. As a result, reservations, payments and inventory management take place completely online.

The idea for LeisureKing arose in 2008 when owner and founder Erik Kroon was looking for a reservation system for his bike rental store and climbing forest. LeisureKing's support & onboarding specialist Björn Hogeveen adds: "When Erik couldn't find a suitable reservation system, he decided to build one himself - thus the idea for LeisureKing was born."

 

No cure no pay

LeisureKing is there for all entrepreneurs in the leisure industry: from boat rental companies, bowling alleys and escape rooms, to events. "We actually focus on any kind of day recreation," Björn adds. The reservation system can be made to fit almost any system with a wide variety of functions. For example, boat rental companies can allow customers to pay in advance, making no-shows a thing of the past. Museums, zoos and amusement parks can grant visitors easy access with LeisureKing's ticketing module.

"What we do slightly differently is that we are the only reservation system that is free to use for our customer," says Björn. "LeisureKing does not use a high monthly subscription fee. Per reservation, a small percentage is paid as a service fee by the end user, and therefore not by the entrepreneur himself. Leisure businesses can try out the system free of charge for a month in advance. After that, only a one-time connection fee applies. Pay. takes away payment worries."

Pay. as a safe and trusted payment provider

With LeisureKing, both large and small businesses in the leisure industry experience unprecedented convenience and benefits. The ticket and reservation system is easy to use, facilitates accounting, handles automatic inventory management, increases sales ... and much more. Customers who book an outdoor activity through LeisureKing also experience convenience: they easily and quickly select an activity, pay (in advance) online and automatically receive all necessary information. Björn: "It's booked, paid for and arranged in no time - just like our slogan says."

What we really appreciate about Pay. is that the collaboration has felt familiar and trustworthy from the very beginning. The integration is user-friendly and fast. In addition, Pay. ensures that payments from end users to our customers are processed quickly and fully online. All transactions are clearly organized and available in one central place within the Admin Panel.

But what about the online and offline payments that come in through LeisureKing’s system? Together with Pay., LeisureKing has succeeded in enabling website visitors to pay immediately with iDEAL or credit card while booking an entrance ticket, boat, scooter, or bowling lane.

“The smooth processing of payments is thanks to our indispensable omnichannel payment partner Pay., with whom we have actually been working since the very beginning,” says Björn. The lightning-fast processing of payments is made possible by the integration LeisureKing has realized with Pay. As a result, the activities of LeisureKing’s customers can be booked online and paid for instantly.

Björn adds: “Working with Pay. is both effective and efficient. It is easy, fast, and reliable. And that is exactly what our shared customers want. Revenue from our customers’ activities is received directly and clearly in their Pay. account. Pay. also ensures that payouts are made every Monday, allowing us to grow profitably together.”

By now, LeisureKing has grown significantly both domestically and internationally. Throughout our journey, we have always worked hand in hand with Pay. Our account manager consistently thinks along with us and continues to support us in finding the best solutions. As a result, for several years now we have been able to connect LeisureKing’s POS module to Pay.’s payment terminals. This allows a boat rental company to process a deposit on location by card and effortlessly refund it to the customer at the end of the day.

Full flexibility to meet customer needs

LeisureKing has positioned itself as the fastest-growing ticketing and reservation system and offers a comprehensive package for entrepreneurs in the leisure industry, with a wide range of diverse features. Last August, LeisureKing’s continued success was symbolically confirmed when the platform reached a total of 1 million reservations. “We are now moving steadily toward two million!” Björn says enthusiastically. “At the same time, we want to further expand our customer base both domestically and internationally.”

Björn explains that in the coming period, LeisureKing will focus on further developing the platform to provide even more flexibility to its customers. As an example, he mentions that a complete makeover of the current booking module is planned. This plug-in can be placed on a rental company’s website, allowing its offerings to be easily booked online.

Björn adds: “The booking process will soon be faster and even clearer. We are introducing a one-step checkout: all steps of the booking process will be visible on a single page, and our customers will soon be able to decide for themselves how the booking window is designed. With these kinds of improvements, we will meet our customers’ demand for an even more flexible platform.”

As an omnichannel payment provider, Pay. truly makes the difference. It is a reliable partner that processes an enormous number of payments every day. We are very pleased to have Pay. as our payment partner. All payments handled through LeisureKing are processed seamlessly and smoothly by the reliable payment system that Pay. provides.
