Expedia Clone App - White-Label Global Travel Booking Platform for International Trips
Launch your own Expedia-style travel marketplace for people who book across borders. Miracuves gives you a white-label platform where a traveler in London, Dubai or Singapore finds an international flight, a hotel in another country and a guided tour at the destination, then pays once with an international card, on the web, on Android or on iPhone.
Underneath sits what international selling actually demands: an airline and hotel supply chain with a backup when a provider stumbles, visa guidance, currency orders and travel cover sold inside the same checkout, and rules that decide which countries and cities you serve. Brand it, pick your markets and open for business.

Sell to Travelers From Any Country
International card payments settle through Stripe while Indian travelers pay through Razorpay, so one deployment serves a domestic base and an overseas audience together.
When an Airline Feed Fails, Sales Continue
Each category holds a primary supplier and ranked fallbacks, so a provider outage during a busy booking window moves searches to the next source instead of emptying your results page.

Watch It Work
Expedia Clone Video Demo - An International Booking, Start to Settlement
Follow one overseas trip from the first search to the money landing. A traveler looks for a return flight between two countries, narrows the fares to one stop or fewer, picks a hotel from the map near the old town, adds a half-day tour and travel cover, and pays by card. The view then moves to the operations console, where the reservation appears with its supplier, the margin taken and the loyalty points earned, and ends on the finance desk approving a partial refund after a date change.
Every Surface
Expedia Clone Screens - Travelers, Partners, Properties & Operators
What each person in the marketplace sees: the traveler home page with destination ideas, international flight results with fare rules and a seat plan, hotel listings on a map with room options, tours priced by age, checkout with card, wallet and discount code, and the trips area where refunds and support live. Alongside sit the partner portal for agents, the property extranet with seasonal rates and the operations console with supply, reservations and revenue.
Travelers who start a search on a laptop and finish it on a phone find the same account and the same trip waiting, because every screen reads from one reservation record.
Client Reviews
Expedia Clone Client Reviews - Founders Selling Across Borders
Named feedback from operators who launched on a Miracuves base and had to make it work outside a single home market: short-stay rentals for international guests, car rental across island nations, a bilingual super-app and a multi-city delivery business. Every one is published with its own details on our client testimonials page.
Illustrative Scenario
Expedia Clone Modelled Reference - An Outbound Travel Marketplace Outside India
A modelled reference deployment describing how the Miracuves Expedia Clone would be set up for a travel brand in Singapore selling international holidays to local residents, taking international card payments through Stripe and routing flights, hotels and tours through global suppliers. It is not a client engagement, and every figure below is a property of the platform rather than an outcome a customer reported.
Singapore
Outbound International Travel Marketplace
How this platform would be configured for a travel brand selling overseas holidays to Singapore residents through global airline, hotel and activity suppliers.
- Travelers booking flights, hotels and tours abroad on three separate sites
- Card payments from travelers whose cards an India-only gateway cannot take
- A single airline feed whose outages stop sales during peak holiday weeks
- One branded marketplace for flights, stays and experiences overseas
- Non-rupee card payments routed through Stripe at checkout
- Visa guidance, currency orders and travel cover sold with the trip
- Primary and fallback flight suppliers searched in parallel
- Hotels and tours from global suppliers plus directly listed vendors
- Location rules deciding which countries each service is offered in
- Partner portal for travel consultants reselling the catalog
- Margins set per category and loyalty tiers for repeat travelers
This is a modelled reference deployment, not a client engagement. Each capability above ships in the base build and can be tried in the live demo logins. Languages beyond English and Hindi would be scoped as an add-on. Figures are platform properties, not customer results.
What Is It
What Is an Expedia Clone App?
An Expedia Clone App is a ready-made travel marketplace for launching your own international booking brand in the mold of apps such as Expedia, Booking.com, Trip.com and Agoda. Travelers anywhere look up flights between countries, hotels and rentals in the city they are visiting, tours and activities on arrival, and complete holiday bundles, then pay by card and keep the whole itinerary in one account. Behind the storefront runs the machinery an overseas travel business depends on: supplier feeds with backups, a margin engine, refunds, visa, currency and insurance products, a channel for travel agents and a console for your operators. The Miracuves version is aimed at founders and travel companies who want to sell trips beyond one country under a name they own.
Web, Android & iPhone
Travelers can research on a desktop at home and finish booking on a phone at the airport, with one account and one trip history on every device.
Your Brand in Every Market
Your name, logo, palette and domain on every screen, and no Miracuves mark visible to the people who book with you in any country.
International Categories Ready
Flights, hotels, tours, transfers, holidays and homestays launch together, and each can be enabled platform-wide or restricted by country, state or city.
The Engine
What Is an Expedia Clone Script?
An Expedia Clone Script is the codebase that makes that marketplace run: the booking logic for each travel category, the checkout that routes each payment to the right gateway, the connectors to airline, hotel and activity providers, the wallet and loyalty rules, the partner portals and the operations console. Owning it means you can open a new market by configuration rather than by commissioning a new product.
-
Owning the Miracuves Expedia clone script means you:
-
Hold the complete source code outright
-
Go live in 6 working days, not a year from now
-
Pay no license fee and no share of your bookings
-
Open new markets and suppliers when you choose
Put simply, an Expedia clone app lets you run a global online travel agency without handing a commission on every trip to the big marketplaces, while keeping the customer, the data and the margin for yourself.

For buyers: each capability can be switched on or off from the admin panel and restricted by location rules, so a launch in one country can start with flights and hotels and add tours, visa and currency products once suppliers are signed.
Revenue Engine
Expedia Clone Revenue Models - How an International Travel Marketplace Makes Money
People ask how Expedia makes money because the answer is not one fee. A global travel marketplace earns a spread on supply, a cut from partners, fees on the services that come with crossing a border and value from money held on the platform. The Miracuves Expedia Clone lets you run six revenue streams from the admin panel.
Spread on Supplier Rates
Price every category above the net rate your airline, hotel and tour suppliers charge, using a percentage, a fixed amount or both, with a floor per reservation.
Commission From Listed Properties
Hotels, guesthouses and tour operators who list directly pay a commission on each reservation they receive, with no inventory cost to you.
Fees on Border-Crossing Services
Charge a service fee on visa applications, currency orders and trip cover, which every international traveler needs and few domestic ones do.
Agent Distribution
Reach clients you would never advertise to through travel consultants who resell your catalog and earn a commission you define.
Business Travel Plans
Offer companies Starter, Business and Enterprise plans for managing staff trips abroad, earning a subscription on top of each booking margin.
Payment Fees & Stored Value
Pass on a fee per payment method and hold wallet balances and unredeemed gift card value, which accumulate as your audience grows.
Planning a revenue model for a particular country, traveler segment or supplier mix?
Control Center
Expedia Clone Admin Panel - Markets, Supply Routing, Margins & Reports
Selling travel internationally multiplies the decisions an operator makes every week: which markets are open, which supplier serves each one, what margin the category carries there and who on the team may change any of it. The console puts those decisions in one place with permissions to match.
Operations Console Features
Catalog Across Categories
Maintain flights, stays, rooms, tours, transfers, holidays and homestays from one inventory screen, whichever supplier or vendor provides them.

Supplier Routing
Decide which provider answers each category first, which ones stand by as fallbacks and which only appear for price comparison.
Market & Location Rules
Allow or block access by country, state or city, so each market sees only the services you are ready to sell there.
Vendor Onboarding
Review hotel and tour operator applications with their documents, approve or decline them and follow each vendor once they are live.
Discounts & Merchandising
Create discount codes with limits and expiry dates, and schedule destination banners by category, placement and audience.
Revenue by Category
Track reservations, gross booking value, revenue and margin over time, split by category, and export the reports finance asks for.
Customer Records & Segments
Open a traveler history, group customers by tier, spend or favorite category, and export segments for campaigns.
Team Roles & Permissions
Nine user roles across travelers, partners and staff, with twenty-four permissions, give each person exactly the controls their job requires and nothing more.
- Enable or hide each travel category by market

Pricing
How Much Does It Cost to Build an International Travel Booking App Like Expedia in 2026?
A global travel marketplace built from nothing needs apps for travelers, integrations with airline, hotel and activity suppliers, a payment layer for Indian and international cards, refunds, partner and vendor portals and an operations console, before a single overseas booking is taken. The Miracuves Expedia Clone costs $3,399 as one fixed price for that complete platform, and any customization or add-on is quoted separately on top.

See the playbook →Who It's For
Who Is Our Expedia Clone App Built For?
Our Expedia Clone App suits founders and travel businesses who want to sell trips across borders under their own name, from outbound holiday specialists and inbound tourism brands to consolidators serving travelers in several countries.
Travel Startups & New OTAs
Travel Agencies & Tour Operators
Regional Travel Brands
Corporate Travel Companies
Agent Networks & Consolidators
Hotel Groups & Supply Aggregators
If your customers travel internationally, or the travelers you want to reach live somewhere else, owning the marketplace keeps the relationship and the margin with you rather than with a global booking giant.
Use Cases
Expedia Clone Use Cases - Outbound Holidays, Inbound Tourism & Global OTA
Sell holidays abroad to travelers at home. Flights to the destination, hotels and apartments, tours after arrival and the pre-departure products, visa guidance, currency and trip cover, sit in one order, so the whole trip is bought in a single visit instead of across four websites.
Outbound International Holidays
Bring visitors to your destination from other countries. Feature your region’s stays, experiences and day trips, accept international card payments, and apply location rules so every service shown is one you can deliver.
Inbound Tourism Marketplace
Open a travel marketplace that is international from launch. Primary and fallback supply keeps flights and hotels bookable when a provider has trouble, the margin engine sets pricing per category and the operations console lets a small team run several markets.
Global Online Travel Agency
Consolidate bookings for consultants working in more than one country. Each agent keeps client records, books for clients, earns commission set by you and draws on a prepaid balance with a limit, while settlements run monthly for the whole network.
Multi-Country Consolidator
Serve communities who travel home often. Put the routes they fly into the storefront, sell currency and insurance alongside the ticket, and reward frequent trips with tiers, cashback and referrals that keep bookings with your brand.
Diaspora & Home-Visit Travel
Operate a network of properties and experiences in many destinations. Vendors complete onboarding with business documents, manage seasonal rates and calendars themselves and get paid transparently, while every reservation they receive earns your platform a commission.
Global Stays & Experiences Network
International travelers compare more, book further ahead and buy more around the trip than domestic ones. A platform that combines supply, international card payments and the services a border crossing needs is how a travel business turns that behavior into revenue.
Many operators combine several of these. One deployment can sell outbound, inbound and partner channels at once, with markets and categories set independently.
2026 Opportunity
Why Launch an Expedia-Style International Travel App in 2026?
Cross-border travel is booked online and increasingly on a phone, and the traveler expects the flight, the stay, the activity and the paperwork to come from one place. The large global marketplaces own much of that demand today, which leaves an opening for brands that serve a particular origin market, destination or community better than a one-size-fits-all giant can.
Specialize Where Giants Generalize
Global marketplaces optimize for the widest possible audience. A brand focused on one origin country, one destination or one kind of traveler can curate supply, content and service that a generalist never will.
Capture the Revenue Around the Trip
Every border crossing creates demand for visa guidance, currency and insurance. Selling them in the same checkout as the flight adds margin that single-category booking sites leave on the table.
Go Live in Days, Not Years
Supplier orchestration, dual-gateway checkout, refunds and partner portals already exist. Your first months go into supplier deals and marketing in your launch markets rather than engineering.
Keep Selling Through Supplier Outages
International supply depends on third-party feeds. Fallback routing per category means a failing provider degrades one source instead of halting sales across the platform.
Accept International Cards
Checkout sends Indian payments through Razorpay and international cards through Stripe, removing one of the most common reasons overseas visitors abandon a booking.
Own the Traveler Relationship
Your brand collects the customer data, the loyalty balance and the reviews, instead of renting access to international travelers from a marketplace that also sells to your competitors.
The Platform in Figures
International trips also carry more attached revenue than domestic ones. Visa help, currency and travel cover are needed before departure, and a traveler who is looked after on one overseas trip tends to return for the next.
Technology
Expedia Clone Tech Stack - TypeScript, NestJS, PostgreSQL & Global Supplier Connectors
Selling travel across borders puts particular strain on a platform: supplier feeds on other continents, international card payments, time zones on every itinerary and access rules per country. MXMMT is written in TypeScript throughout, on components any capable engineering team already knows.
Traveler & Partner Web
React · TypeScript · Tailwind
- One web application for the storefront, account area and every partner portal
- Server-side rendering so destination and deal pages load fast and index well
- Maps for hotel search and seat plans for flights
- Role-gated areas for agents, vendors, company travel and operators
Mobile Apps
React Native · Expo
- iPhone and Android apps from a single codebase
- Tokens kept in secure device storage
- Push notifications that open the relevant trip
- Tabs for search, stays, transport, trips and wallet
Booking Services
Node.js · NestJS
- A module per travel category and business domain
- Parallel search across primary, fallback and compare suppliers
- Payment orders with idempotent processing
- REST endpoints plus WebSocket chat
Data Layer
PostgreSQL · TypeORM · Redis
- Relational records for reservations, payments, partners and loyalty
- Versioned schema migrations
- Redis for caching, rate limits and job queues
- Separate audit trails for admin, credentials and location rules
Global Supply & Payments
Amadeus · Duffel · Hotelbeds · Viator · Stripe
- Amadeus as primary flight source with Duffel, Sabre and Travelport fallbacks
- Hotelbeds for accommodation and Viator for activities
- Stripe for international cards, Razorpay for India
- Twilio and SendGrid for international messaging
Infrastructure
Docker · nginx · AWS / GCP / Azure
- Containers with health checks on your chosen cloud
- nginx with TLS in front of the API
- Stateless API instances that scale horizontally
- Object storage and CDN configurable at deployment
For technical buyers: supplier connectors are activated with your own accounts, and credentials are managed from the admin panel rather than code. Because the whole platform is TypeScript, one team can extend the web apps, the mobile apps and the booking services for a new market.
How It Works
How the Expedia Clone Works - Plan, Compare, Pay & Travel
People ask how Expedia works. For the traveler it is a few searches and one payment; for the platform it is supplier queries on several continents, a payment routing decision, confirmation, paperwork and aftercare. Here is each stage and what the Expedia Clone does behind it.
International Traveler Journey - From Idea to Homecoming
Discover & Sign In
A traveler arrives with a destination in mind, or none at all, and your storefront gives them somewhere to start.
- Destination ideas, banners and seasonal deals you manage from the console
- Sign-up by email, one-time code or Google account
- Saved traveler profiles and documents for faster repeat bookings
- The AI trip planner turns a vague idea into a daily plan
Search & Compare
The traveler searches flights, stays and experiences in another country and narrows the choice quickly.
- Flight searches query primary and fallback suppliers at the same time
- Hotel results on a map of the destination with star, price and amenity filters
- Tours and activities shown for the arrival city
- Your own listed properties appear alongside supplier inventory
Select & Customize
The traveler settles on exactly what they want and adds what an international trip requires.
- Seat choice, room type, board basis and fare rules before paying
- Visa requirements shown for their destination
- Currency orders and travel cover offered with the booking
- Passenger details filled from saved profiles
Pay & Confirm
Checkout picks the payment route for the card, and booking and payment complete together.
- Indian payments through Razorpay, international cards through Stripe
- Wallet credit, discount codes and gift cards applied in the same step
- The amount is fixed on the server and every payment processed once
- If a supplier cannot confirm, the traveler is refunded automatically
Travel & Get Support
While the traveler is away, the trip stays in their account with help a message away.
- Reservations, vouchers and reminders in one list
- Cancellation shows the refund due before the traveler commits
- Support tickets and chat carry the booking reference
- Refunds and disputes tracked to resolution
Review, Earn & Book Again
Once home, the traveler is invited back rather than forgotten.
- Reviews for stays, experiences and the trip overall
- Loyalty points credited on completed reservations
- Cashback and refunds waiting in the wallet
- Referral rewards for introducing fellow travelers
Visual flow: Inspire → Search Abroad → Choose → Add Trip Services → Pay by Card → Confirm → Travel → Review & Return.
Behind The Scenes
Expedia Clone Platform Architecture & International Booking Flow
Multi-Supplier Search Abroad
For each category the platform holds a primary supplier, ranked fallbacks and compare-only sources. Searches fan out in parallel, a reservation is placed with one supplier only, and a fallback takes over when the primary fails.
Gateway-Aware Checkout
The server decides the amount and gateway when the order is created, sends Indian payments to Razorpay and international cards to Stripe, verifies the gateway signature and confirms with the supplier before issuing the reservation.
Margin Applied per Category
Net supplier rates pass through the margin you set for that category, as a percentage, a fixed amount and a floor, so every price a traveler sees already includes your spread.
Location Rules by Country
Access decisions check the traveler or staff member's location against rules for country, state and city, and each decision is written to its own audit log.
A Single Reservation Record
Flights, stays, tours, transfers and trip services all write to one reservation hub that feeds the traveler account, support, refunds, loyalty and revenue reports.
Permissions & Messaging
Twenty-four permissions are enforced on every request, and booking events queue email, SMS, push and in-app messages through international-ready providers.
Built to Scale
Built to Scale - Global Demand Peaks, Supplier Latency & New Markets
International demand does not peak on one calendar. School holidays, public holidays and sales seasons fall on different dates in different countries, so a platform serving several markets sees spikes all year, and every spike multiplies calls to suppliers overseas. The Miracuves Expedia Clone is built to stay quick and correct when that happens.
Supplier Calls That Survive Distance and Delay
Airline and hotel feeds often sit on another continent and respond slowly under load. Searches query sources in parallel and merge them with inventory you list directly, and fallback routing means one slow provider affects its own results rather than the whole category.
- Concurrent queries to primary and fallback suppliers
- Directly listed inventory served from your own database
- Supplier changes made in the console without a release
Checkout That Holds Up on Both Gateways
Peak season is when retries, double taps and gateway timeouts cluster. Orders fix the amount on the server, each payment is processed exactly once whichever gateway handles it, and any reservation that cannot be confirmed refunds without manual work.
- Amount fixed at order creation
- Idempotent handling of gateway retries
- Automatic refund on failed supplier confirmation
Capacity Added by Adding Servers
The API holds no session state, so capacity grows by placing more instances behind a load balancer. Redis shares caching, rate limits and queues across them, and PostgreSQL uses connection pooling, and read replicas can be added so reporting never slows down booking.
- Horizontal scaling behind a load balancer
- Shared cache, limits and queues in Redis
- Read replicas added as reporting volume grows
A New Market Is Configuration
Opening another country means switching categories on for it, connecting suppliers that cover it, confirming how its travelers pay and setting location rules, not launching a separate product.
- Categories enabled and restricted by location
- Global supplier stack alongside the India stack
- Location rules deciding where each service is offered
Peaks in Several Calendars
Stateless API instances scale out for holiday seasons in each market you serve and scale back when demand settles.
Latency-Tolerant Supplier Search
Parallel queries and merged results stop a slow overseas feed from holding every search hostage.
Fallback Before Failure
When the primary supplier for a category errors, the booking moves to the next source and the category stays open for sale.
One Charge per Payment
Server-fixed amounts, verified gateway signatures and single processing keep checkout correct on either gateway.
Queues, Caches & Limits
Redis carries caching, notification queues and rate limits across every instance, shielding search and sign-in from spikes and abuse.

Additional markets or brands can be added as custom work, each with its own categories, suppliers, payment routes and location rules on the same platform.
Built for the markets you choose and the ones you add later. International travel businesses rarely launch everywhere at once, so the platform treats markets, categories, suppliers, margins and payment routes as settings. A brand can open in one outbound market with flights and hotels, add an inbound destination with tours and transfers, and later bring in agents abroad, all on the same TypeScript codebase your own developers can extend.
Note for founders and CTOs: a single-server launch is realistic for a first market. We size the initial deployment with you and write down the traffic levels at which each scaling step should be taken.
Security
Expedia Clone Security - Traveler Documents, Cross-Border Payments & Access Control
An international travel platform stores passport details, handles Indian and international card payments, holds credentials for suppliers abroad and moves money to partners in other countries. Security is designed into sign-in, permissions, payments and logging, and the platform ships with a security handbook and VAPT compliance reference your reviewers can test against.
Payment & Refund Integrity
Traveler Data Protection
Supplier Credential Security
Secure Authentication & Role-Based Access
Audit Trails & Location Controls
Security Documentation & VAPT Readiness
Developed to Recognized Controls
Engineering follows the controls ISO 27001 and SOC 2 assessors look for, including role-based access, audit logs, encrypted secrets and documented configuration.
Privacy Requests Honored
Consent captured at sign-up, notification preferences per channel, traveler data export and account deletion, with sensitive fields never returned by the API.
Card Data Stays With the Gateway
Cards are processed by Stripe or Razorpay and never stored on your servers, while amounts are fixed server-side and every payment and webhook signature is checked.
Hardened Sign-In
Short-lived access tokens, rotating refresh tokens, bcrypt-hashed passwords, one-time codes, Google sign-in and two-factor sign-in for admin and finance users.
Least-Privilege Roles
Nine roles and twenty-four permissions are checked on each request, so a travel agent, a property owner or a support agent only reaches their own slice.
Abuse & Access Protection
Rate limits on every endpoint, stricter ones on sign-in, input validation, security headers and location rules that block regions you do not serve.
For operators entering regulated markets: data protection and payment rules differ by country. Talk to us about your security review, penetration test and the obligations of each market before launch.
Advanced Add-Ons
Expedia Clone Add-Ons - Languages, Channel Connections & Regional Payments
The base platform is a complete international booking business. These add-ons are the ones global operators ask for most, and one of them, translated interfaces, is worth planning early: the platform ships with English and configurable Hindi, so every further language is scoped and quoted as a separate piece of work.
Translated Interfaces
Interface languages beyond English and Hindi for travelers in other markets, including translated emails, notifications and content fields.
Right-to-Left Layout
A mirrored interface for Arabic, Hebrew and Urdu audiences, which the base platform does not include and is built to your market.
Local Payment Methods by Country
Gateways and wallets popular in a specific country added alongside Stripe, for markets where cards are not the default way to pay.
Channel Manager Connection
Connecting the channel manager to your OTA accounts, with rooms and rates mapped, so vendors update once and sell in many places.
Local Tax & Invoice Rules
Invoices and tax documents shaped for a jurisdiction outside India, where the base build produces India GST documents.
Separate Brands per Market
Distinct domains, branding and catalogs for different countries or partners running on one shared core.
Lifecycle Marketing
Fare alerts, abandoned-search reminders and campaigns segmented by origin market, destination interest and loyalty tier.
Regional Supplier Integrations
A specific airline, bed bank, rail operator or activity provider that your chosen market relies on, connected and routed.

Business Value
Marketability, Revenue Potential & Business Prospects
An Expedia-style marketplace is a cross-border commerce business. It earns on supply in several countries, on the services a border crossing creates and on travelers who come back trip after trip. Operators succeed by choosing an origin market, a destination or a traveler community they understand better than a global generalist, then using margins, trip services and loyalty to lift the value of each customer.
Travelers Who Compare Everywhere
International travelers shop around more than domestic ones, which rewards a brand that is clearer, more specialized or better priced for their route.
Higher-Value Baskets
Overseas trips combine flights, several nights, experiences and pre-departure services, so each order is worth more than a local booking.
Revenue Beyond the Ticket
Visa, currency and insurance products add fees to trips that are already sold, lifting margin without extra acquisition cost.
Markets Added Over Time
Each new origin or destination market opens with configuration on the same platform, extending growth without another build.
spread on supplier rates by category, commission from directly listed properties and tour operators, service fees on visa, currency and insurance, agent distribution commission, business travel plans, payment method fees and value held in wallets and gift cards.
A focused international travel marketplace can grow into a trusted brand for its origin market or destination, a distribution network for properties and experiences abroad and a loyalty base that books its next overseas trip without shopping elsewhere.
Example Revenue Scenarios
The patterns below are illustrations of how international travel operators use the platform, not forecasts. Results depend on your markets, supplier terms, marketing and execution, and every scenario relies only on capabilities in the base build.
Outbound Holiday Brand
Services Sold With Each Trip
Visa, currency and cover alongside the booking.
A travel company selling overseas holidays to residents of one country, earning a margin on flights, stays and tours, and a service fee on the visa guidance, currency orders and travel insurance its travelers need before departure.
Inbound Destination Marketplace
Payment Routes at Checkout
Visitors pay with international cards.
A destination brand attracting visitors from abroad, listing local stays, experiences and day trips, taking international card payments through Stripe and restricting every service to the locations it genuinely covers.
Multi-Market Consolidator
Permissions for a Distributed Team
Staff in several countries, each with the right access.
A consolidator serving consultants and travelers in several markets from one deployment, with commission and prepaid agent balances for partners abroad and staff permissions scoped by role.
Why Miracuves
Miracuves vs Other Expedia Clone Developers
International travel booking can be built from a template, commissioned from an agency or developed in-house. Here is how the Miracuves Expedia Clone compares when the brief is selling across borders.
Why Founders Choose Miracuves
Two Payment Gateways at Checkout
Indian and international card payments route to the right gateway automatically, where many scripts assume a single domestic gateway.
Supply That Does Not Hinge on One Feed
Primary, fallback and compare-only sources per category, so an outage at one provider does not take your flights offline.
Trip Services Built In
Visa guidance, currency orders and travel insurance sit in the same checkout rather than living on a separate website.
Honest About Languages
The platform ships with English and configurable Hindi, and we say so before you buy, then scope translated and right-to-left interfaces properly.
The Code Is Yours
The complete TypeScript source code is handed over with no license fee and no share of your bookings, in any market you enter.
Launch Help for New Markets
Guidance on suppliers, gateways and deployment for each market, plus 6 months of priority fixes and 12 months of updates.

FAQ
Expedia Clone FAQ - Pricing, Markets, Payments & Suppliers
Answers to the questions buyers ask most about the Miracuves Expedia Clone App.
An Expedia Clone App is a ready-made, white-label travel marketplace for launching your own international booking brand, similar in concept to Expedia, Booking.com or Trip.com. Travelers search flights between countries, hotels and homestays, tours, activities and holiday bundles, pay by card and keep every reservation in one account. The Miracuves version adds visa guidance, currency orders and travel insurance in the checkout, a partner portal for travel consultants, a portal for company travel, an extranet for properties and tour operators, and an operations console where you set markets, suppliers and margins.
The Miracuves Expedia Clone is a fixed $3,399 for the complete platform: Android and iPhone apps, the booking website, partner and vendor portals, the operations console, the full source code, deployment support, 60 days of guidance, 6 months of priority bug fixes and 12 months of updates. There is no license fee and no share of your bookings. Your running costs are hosting and the accounts you use, such as Stripe or Razorpay, messaging providers and your airline, hotel and activity supplier agreements. Customizations and add-ons are quoted separately.
Yes. Native Android and iPhone apps are included, built from one React Native codebase so both stay identical. Travelers search, book and pay, and manage trips, refunds, loyalty and support inside the app, and the partner, vendor and operator areas are available on mobile too. The apps are published under your own Apple and Google developer accounts with your name and icon. You can install the Android build from the demo section on this page and sign in with the traveler login, and iPhone builds are shared on request.
Through several streams at once. You add a margin to the net rates airlines, hotels and tour suppliers charge, per category, as a percentage, a fixed amount or both. Properties and tour operators who list directly pay a commission on each reservation. Visa guidance, currency orders and travel insurance carry service fees. Travel consultants resell your catalog on a commission you set, companies can pay for business travel plans, and payment method fees plus wallet and gift card balances add further value. All of it is configured from the admin panel.
When a traveler searches, the platform queries the primary supplier and its fallbacks for that category in parallel and merges the results with properties you list directly. On checkout the server fixes the amount, routes Indian payments to Razorpay and international cards to Stripe, verifies the payment, confirms with one supplier and only then issues the reservation, refunding automatically if confirmation fails. Every booking writes to one reservation record that feeds the traveler account, support, refunds, loyalty and your revenue reports.
Yes. Indian payments go through Razorpay and international card payments go through Stripe, both included in the platform. The base build uses one gateway for each route, so if a particular country needs a local wallet or payment method beyond cards, that is added as a regional payment integration. Prices display in the base currency of the platform; showing each traveler prices in their local currency is scoped as custom work. Wallet balances, discount codes and gift cards apply in the same checkout step whichever gateway the traveler pays through.
The platform ships with an English interface, Hindi as a configurable option and an internationalization structure ready for more languages, but other translated interfaces are not included in the base build, and there is no right-to-left layout for Arabic or Hebrew. If you are launching in a non-English market, we scope the languages you need, including emails and notifications, and quote them as an add-on. We would rather you know that before buying than discover it at launch.
The platform includes connectors for international supply, including Amadeus as a primary flight source with Duffel, Sabre and Travelport as fallbacks, Hotelbeds for accommodation and Viator for activities, alongside messaging and maps providers. Live inventory is switched on with your own supplier accounts, because those contracts and their commercial terms belong to your business. A demo inventory lets every category work while accounts are approved, and you can also list your own hotels, homestays and tours directly through the vendor extranet.
Yes, and we want that to be clear. The Expedia Clone and the MakeMyTrip Clone ship from the same MXMMT codebase at the same price. They differ in emphasis and configuration: the MakeMyTrip Clone page describes an India-first super-app with buses, trains and domestic agent networks, while this page describes the platform set up for international travel, with non-rupee payments, global suppliers, trip services for border crossings and location rules by country. Choose the page that matches your market; the software you receive is the same.
The standard platform goes live in 6 working days from kickoff with your branding, launch markets, categories, margins and payment routes configured. Custom features and integrations, such as translated interfaces or a local payment method, are scoped separately and typically take 2 to 8 weeks. What usually sets the real date is on your side: app store accounts and review, Stripe and Razorpay approval, messaging sender registration in each country and the approval of your supplier accounts. We list these at kickoff so you can start them in parallel.
Sign-in uses short-lived tokens with rotating refresh tokens, hashed passwords, one-time codes and two-factor sign-in for admin and finance roles, and nine roles with twenty-four permissions are enforced on every request. Card details never touch your servers, amounts are fixed server-side and payment signatures are verified. Supplier credentials are encrypted and audited, location rules can block countries you do not serve, and travelers can export or delete their data. A security handbook and VAPT compliance reference are included for your own testing.
Yes. You receive the complete source code for the web apps, mobile apps and booking services, with no license fee, no revenue share and no restrictions on use. Brand, markets, categories, suppliers, margins and payment methods are configured from the admin panel without code changes. Because everything is TypeScript, your developers or any capable team can add languages, local payment methods, suppliers and workflows later, and we also offer custom development for market-specific features.
