Will the money from bookings on my white label travel portal come straight into my own bank account?

Yes, in most setups the money from bookings on your white label portal reaches your own account, because the portal is connected to a payment gateway that is registered in your business name rather than ours.

In practice that means you open a merchant account with a gateway or with your bank, and we connect that account to the booking pages on your portal. Your customer pays on your site, the charge is processed by your own gateway, and the funds settle into your bank account on whatever cycle your gateway uses. Your business name is what the customer sees on their card statement, so nothing on the payment page or the receipt points them somewhere else.

There are a few honest limits. Which gateways can be connected depends on what your plan covers and on which providers are available in your country, so it is worth checking before you commit to one. The gateway, not us, decides whether to approve you, and new merchants are sometimes asked for extra documents or have settlement held back for a while at the start. Paying your suppliers is a separate matter from collecting from your customer, because some suppliers want a card at the moment of booking while others work from a deposit or a credit account you top up, and that affects how much working capital you need to keep aside.

Before you launch, ask your bank or preferred gateway what they need from you to approve a travel business, and let us know which gateway you are going with so we can confirm it can be connected to your portal.
