What is a virtual POS?
POS is the Point of Sale Terminal. In physical stores is a device for customers to pay by credit/debit card. Well, a virtual POS, is equivalent to that device, but without having a physical device, everything is on the net supported by high security systems created by banks. TPVs are issued by banks and most of them accept most popular cards: VISA, MasterCard and JCB.
How much does a Virtual POS cost?
Rates depend on each bank and your turnover. The higher the volume, the cheaper rate you will get. To give you a reference, banks may charge:
- A fixed amount per discharge from the POS.
- A monthly maintenance fee.
- A % for each sale.
Keep in Mind: Usually, they only charge a commission per sale, and you can always negotiate the % with your bank.Do I have to go to a particular bank?
No. Most banks inside Servired and 4B network provides virtual POS. Depending on the bank, it will take more or less time for approval. To give you an estimate, it can take anywhere from 1 week to 1 month depending on their internal processes.
How do I configure the payment gateway?
You must apply to your bank. Once granted, the bank will give you three codes to enter in the Turitop’s Control Panel. These code names are:
- Number of trade FUC.
- Trade Secrets.
- Number of terminal
Virtual POS, Stripe or PayPal?
We recommend using any platforms for better sales conversion.
It is true that the cost of using PayPal or Stripe is greater than those of using a Virtual POS, but current PayPal or Stripe users (millions of users around the globe) will prefer to use their account to pay; it will be a much faster and safer process for them.
If you set up all platforms, your customers are able to choose any of the two options directly from your booking system.
Keep in Mind: the resale of products with chained payments (Automated split payments between your agency and on-line businesses) can only be made with PayPal accounts. Availability and Agencies
Can I receive on-line bookings with less anticipation that 48 hours?
Yes, you can choose the anticipation that better suits your business. For first time users, we recommend starting with 48 hours or ever 72 hours. Then, as bookings increase and you get more familiar with our tool, you can reduce it to 24 hours or less.
I'm an agency, can I use your booking calendar?
Yes, you can resell services from any of the businesses that use TuriTop. After login, click on the tab 'Services' and then 'resell services'. There you can do a search for businesses in your area and send them a resell request.
What are chained payments?
It's the secret sauce of our booking system. It lets the product owner receive the money directly for each sale that an agent does with our system, and send the commission automatically to the agent. It works with PayPal only.
Yes, you can disable the calendar and let people buy tickets without a date selected. This is ideal for gift tickets and packs
A pack is a ticket valid for more than one service. It is a great way of collaborating with other companies. For example, boat trip plus parascending. One company provides the boat trip and the other the parascending. If both companies sell the pack on their website, both companies increase their reach.
*Packs are generally step up as an open ticket (valid for 90 days after purchase).
*If you want the confirmation email to arrive at more than one company when editing the product, look for the field that says 'Custom email to receive bookings' and you can add one or more emails there, separated by commas.
Keep in Mind: Remember to type your own email again otherwise the other company will receive the email but you won't.Languages
In how many languages does the booking system works?
We support more than 31 languages at the moment, although the number grows constantly.

Why my booking system is not translated?
Please go to the 'translate' tab and check if you added translations for you service names. You only need to translate the words that you create... we translate the text that is part of the software: e.g. 'Monday', 'Buy now', 'An email has been sent', etc.
Some of the texts are not translated correctly. Can I fix it?
Yes indeed. We appreciate a lot when users contact us to help us improve the translations on our calendar. If you see something wrong please don't hesitate to contact us.
