Travel Booking Platform - White-Label Booking Engine with AI Trip Planning for Your Brand
Launch travel booking software that works like the systems behind established travel sites, under a name you choose. Miracuves provides a ready booking engine with a website and mobile apps for travelers, an AI assistant that turns a rough idea into a bookable itinerary, and consoles for the people who run the business, from inventory and refunds to margins and payouts.
What separates a real booking system from a brochure site is what happens after the traveler clicks pay: the price is locked on the server, payment and supplier confirmation happen together, a failed confirmation refunds automatically, and every category lands in one reservation record. That machinery is already built, so your effort goes into suppliers and customers.

Every Booking Moves Through One Engine
Flights, stays, buses, trains, cabs, holidays and activities share the same checkout, confirmation and refund logic, so adding a category never means building another booking flow.
Plans That Turn Straight Into Reservations
The AI trip planner drafts a day-by-day itinerary from a short description, and each stay or activity in it can be reserved without starting a new search.

Live in Action
Travel Booking Software Demo - Try Every Role in the Booking System
The quickest way to evaluate travel booking software is to make a reservation and then watch the system process it. This demo gives you six doors into one live platform. Plan and book as a traveler, reserve on behalf of a customer as an agent, update rooms as a supplier, then sign in as operations, owner and finance to see the same booking from each side. Nothing in the demo is a mock-up; every login runs against the same platform you would receive.
TRAVELER
Traveler Experience - Plan With AI, Book & Manage Trips
Describe a trip to the AI planner or search directly, compare options in any category, pick seats or rooms, pay using a card, wallet credit or a code, and then keep tickets, cancellations, refund status and support conversations together in the account on web or mobile.

Watch It Work
Travel Booking Platform Video Demo - From AI Itinerary to Confirmed Reservation
This walkthrough starts with a traveler asking the AI planner for a four-day family break by the sea. The planner returns a daily itinerary with a hotel and two activities, the traveler reserves them from the plan, adds a return bus and pays once. The recording then switches to the operations dashboard to show the reservation record with payment, supplier confirmation and margin, and closes with a cancellation of one activity and the partial refund flowing back automatically. It takes a few minutes to watch and answers most of the questions buyers ask on a first call.
Every Surface
Travel Booking System Screens - Apps, Website & Operator Consoles
The main views of the booking system: a home screen with the AI planner and current offers, search results for each category with filters, seat and room selection, a single checkout for wallet, codes and cards, and a bookings area covering tickets, cancellations, refunds and help. For the business side there is the agent workspace, the supplier console with availability and payouts, and the operations dashboard with reservations, promotions and reports.
Because web and mobile read from the same reservation record, a trip started on one device is always complete on the other. Support staff see the same record, so nobody asks a traveler to repeat their booking details.
Client Reviews
Travel Booking Platform Client Reviews - Teams That Launched Booking Engines
These clients are not travel companies. Each launched a platform on a Miracuves base where listings, availability, quoting, scheduling and payments were the core, which is the same engine a travel booking system depends on. Their reviews are published in full on our client testimonials page.
Illustrative Scenario
Travel Booking Platform Modelled Reference - A Regional Tour & Stay Booking Brand
A modelled reference deployment describing how the Miracuves travel booking platform would be configured for a tour and accommodation brand in Bali, Indonesia, selling villas, guided experiences and day trips to visitors and taking international card payments through Stripe. It is not a client engagement, and each figure is a property of the platform rather than an outcome reported by a customer.
Bali
Tour, Villa & Day Trip Booking Platform
How this platform would be configured for a destination brand selling villas, guided experiences and day trips to visitors.
- Villa, tour and day trip bookings confirmed by hand over messaging apps
- Deposits chased manually with no record tied to the booking
- Visitors unsure how to plan days on an unfamiliar island
- Instant, confirmed booking for stays, experiences and day trips
- Card payments through Stripe with the price locked at checkout
- Longer stays with more experiences booked per visit
- AI trip planner linked to live villa and tour inventory
- One checkout and one reservation record for the whole trip
- Automatic refund when a booking cannot be confirmed
- Supplier console for villa owners and tour guides
- Loyalty tiers and reviews to bring visitors back
This is a modelled reference deployment, not a client engagement. Each capability above ships in the base build and can be tried with the demo logins. Demand-based repricing and languages beyond English and Hindi would be scoped as add-ons. Figures are platform properties, not customer results.
What Is It
What Is a Travel Booking Platform?
A travel booking platform is the system that lets people find, reserve and pay for travel online, and lets the business behind it manage suppliers, prices, payments and customer service. On the surface it is a website and apps where someone plans a trip, compares flights, hotels, buses or tours, and checks out. Underneath it is a sequence of controlled steps: querying suppliers, holding a price, taking payment, confirming the reservation with the supplier, issuing tickets or vouchers, and handling changes, cancellations and refunds without losing track of any money. The Miracuves platform delivers both layers as white-label software for travel startups, tour operators, hotel groups and agencies.
Website Plus Mobile Apps
A booking website and Android and iPhone apps sharing one account, one set of reservations and one checkout.
Unbranded, Ready for Yours
Your company name, logo, colors and domain appear throughout, with no Miracuves branding shown to travelers.
Every Major Travel Category
Flights, hotels, buses, trains, cabs, holidays, activities and homestays, each switched on when you are ready.
The Engine
What Is Travel Booking Software?
Travel booking software is the code that performs those steps: booking logic for each category, supplier and payment integrations, pricing and margin rules, the reservation database, notifications, the AI trip planner, and consoles for operations, suppliers, partners and finance. Owning it means your booking rules, your data and your customer experience are no longer set by someone else’s product roadmap.
-
Choosing the Miracuves travel booking software gives you:
-
Ownership of the complete source code
-
A live platform in 6 working days
-
No license fee and no commission on bookings
-
Control over suppliers, prices and features
Put plainly, a travel booking platform turns trip planning into confirmed, paid reservations under your brand, and gives you the tools to run everything that happens after. That second half, the operations after the sale, is where most booking businesses win or lose their customers.
Features
Travel Booking Platform Features - AI Planning, Reservations, Payments & Refunds

Every other capability listed here ships with the platform, can be tried with the demo logins above and is covered by the same launch support and update schedule.
Revenue Engine
Travel Booking Platform Revenue Models - Where the Money Comes From
A booking business earns at several points in the reservation, not just on the ticket. The platform lets you combine six revenue sources and adjust each one from the settings console as your mix of travelers and suppliers changes. None of these streams needs a separate product; each is a setting on the same reservation engine.
Booking Margin
Price above supplier cost in each category with a percentage, a flat amount or a minimum, so every confirmed reservation carries your margin.
Listing Commission
Hotels, hosts and tour providers who add inventory directly pay commission on the bookings they receive through your platform.
Add-On Product Fees
Earn service fees on visa help, insurance and forex sold at checkout alongside the main reservation.
Partner Channel
Let agents book for their customers at a commission you control, bringing in travelers you would not reach directly.
Business Accounts
Charge companies a plan fee for booking staff travel through the platform with policies and approvals.
Payments & Gift Cards
Apply a fee per payment method where appropriate and benefit from wallet balances and gift card value held on the platform.
Unsure which revenue mix suits your market and suppliers?
Control Center
Travel Booking Admin Panel - Reservations, Suppliers, Pricing & Reports
A booking system is only as good as the tools used to run it. When a supplier fails to confirm or a traveler disputes a charge, your team needs the full reservation history, the refund controls and the permissions to act in one place. Admin changes are logged, so questions from travelers or auditors are answered from the record rather than from memory.
Operations Dashboard Features
Reservation Lookup
Find any booking by traveler, reference or date and see its payment, supplier confirmation and refund history together.
Refund Queue
Review cancellation requests, approve partial or full refunds and track each one until the money is returned.
Inventory Management
Maintain flights, hotels, rooms, buses, trains, cabs, packages, activities and homestays from one catalog screen.
Supplier Approvals
Check supplier documents, approve or decline applications and monitor supplier performance once live.
Integration Settings
Choose the supplier integration for each category and manage credentials without a code release.
Promotions & Banners
Create discount codes with limits and expiry, and schedule banners by page, category and audience.
Performance Reports
Track bookings, gross value, revenue and margin by category and period, with exports for finance.
Traveler Profiles
View booking history, segment travelers by tier, spend or category, and export lists for marketing.
Roles & Permissions
Nine roles and twenty-four permissions define exactly which screens and actions each traveler, partner and staff member can reach.
- Categories switched on or off
- Margin rules per category
- Checkout payment methods
- Brand and content settings
Support Desk & Reviews
Manage tickets and chats with the reservation attached, handle escalations and moderate reviews.
- Supplier integrations per category
- Encrypted supplier credentials
- Location-based access rules
- Audit log of every change

Pricing
How Much Does It Cost to Build a Travel Booking Platform in 2026?
Building travel booking software from scratch means designing the reservation engine, integrating suppliers and payment gateways, handling confirmations and refunds, and creating apps, a website and operator consoles, typically many months of engineering before launch. The Miracuves travel booking platform costs $3,999 as one fixed price for the complete system, and any customization or add-on is quoted separately. That price includes the apps, website, consoles, integrations and source code, so the fair comparison is months of salaries for a team building the same reservation engine, not a monthly software subscription.

Who Is Our Travel Booking Platform Built For?
The Miracuves travel booking platform is built for any business that wants travelers to plan and pay for trips online under its own name, from new travel startups to established operators replacing manual processes.
Travel Startups & New OTAs
Travel Agencies & Tour Operators
Regional Travel Brands
Corporate Travel Companies
Agent Networks & Consolidators
Hotel Groups & Supply Aggregators
If your bookings still arrive by phone, email or an inquiry form, or you pay a large share of each sale to a marketplace, owning a booking system gives you the reservations, the data and the margin directly.
Use Cases
Travel Booking Platform Use Cases - Startups, Operators, Hotels & Agencies
Start an online travel business with a working reservation engine from day one. Suppliers, payment gateways and categories are configured rather than built, and the AI planner gives a new brand a helpful way to engage travelers who have not decided yet. As supplier agreements arrive, new categories are switched on without rebuilding checkout.
Online Travel Startup
Take tours and activities from inquiry to instant booking. Age-based prices, meeting points and inclusions are shown up front, payment and confirmation happen together, and vouchers go out immediately. Operators spend their mornings running tours rather than answering availability questions.
Tour & Experience Booking
Win back commission paid to marketplaces by taking reservations directly. Rooms, rates and availability are managed by you, cancellation terms are clear before payment and add-on activities increase revenue per guest. Direct guests also leave reviews on your own site, which strengthens every future booking.
Direct Hotel & Villa Reservations
Bring an established agency online without losing the service model. Customers book themselves, staff book for customers who call, and every reservation, change and refund sits in one record. Service stays consistent whether a customer books alone or with help from your staff.
Agency Digitization
Connect your seat inventory to sell bus seats online with seat maps, boarding points and fixed fares, then add accommodation and packages to capture more of the traveler’s trip.
Transport Ticketing Platform
Give a region a single booking portal for visitors, combining stays, experiences and local transport with itineraries that the AI planner builds and travelers reserve in one go. Visitors discover more of the region, and more local suppliers earn from each visit.
Destination Booking Portal
Across every use case, the difference between a booking platform and a listings site is the same: confirmed reservations, locked prices, automatic refunds and one record per trip. That is what earns travelers’ trust to pay online.
Many businesses combine several of these models. One deployment can serve direct travelers, agents and suppliers, with categories enabled independently.
2026 Opportunity
Why Launch a Travel Booking Platform in 2026?
Travelers now expect to plan, compare and pay for trips online, often on a phone and increasingly with help from AI. Businesses that still rely on inquiries and manual confirmation lose those travelers to platforms that can book instantly. The gap is rarely the website design; it is whether the system behind it can take payment and confirm a reservation without a person in the loop.
Instant Booking Beats Inquiries
Travelers who can reserve and pay immediately are far less likely to keep shopping elsewhere than those waiting for a reply to a form. Every hour between interest and confirmation is an opening for a competitor.
AI Helps Undecided Travelers
An itinerary generated from a short description gives travelers a starting point and turns browsing into bookings. Every stay or activity in the plan can be reserved straight away, so inspiration never ends at a dead end.
The Hard Parts Are Already Built
Payment locking, supplier confirmation, refunds and multi-category checkout exist, so your time goes into suppliers and marketing. Engineering effort is saved for what makes your brand different.
Keep Margin Instead of Paying Commission
Direct reservations through your own platform avoid handing a share of every sale to a third-party marketplace.
Trust Built Into Checkout
Clear cancellation terms, automatic refunds and booking status at every step reduce the anxiety of paying online. Travelers who trust the checkout are the ones who return.
Own Your Customer Data
Booking history, preferences and reviews stay with your business and inform the offers and packages you create. You decide how it is used, not a platform that also serves your competitors.
The Platform in Figures
Owning the booking system also changes the economics. Instead of paying a marketplace on every sale, you keep the margin, the customer relationship and the data that tells you what to offer next. Over time that data shows which destinations, seasons and add-ons sell, which is exactly the insight a marketplace keeps for itself.
Technology
Travel Booking Software Tech Stack - React, NestJS, PostgreSQL & React Native
A booking engine must never lose a payment, double-book a seat or forget a refund. MXMMT is built in TypeScript on mainstream, well-supported technologies chosen for correctness and maintainability. Each choice is common enough that documentation, libraries and experienced developers are easy to find in any market.
Website & Consoles
React · TypeScript · Tailwind
- Traveler website and every business console in one app
- Server-side rendering for fast, indexable pages
- Seat maps, room selection and map views
- Access by role for each console
Traveler Apps
React Native · Expo
- iPhone and Android from a single codebase
- Secure storage for sign-in tokens
- Push notifications for booking updates
- AI planner, bookings and wallet in the app
Reservation Engine
Node.js · NestJS
- Booking modules for each travel category
- Server-side price locking at order creation
- Idempotent payment and confirmation handling
- REST APIs and WebSocket chat
Data & Jobs
PostgreSQL · TypeORM · Redis
- Relational records for reservations, payments and refunds
- Versioned database migrations
- Redis caching, rate limiting and job queues
- Audit tables for admin and credential changes
Integrations
Suppliers · Razorpay · Stripe · SendGrid · Twilio
- Flight, hotel and activity supplier connectors
- Razorpay and Stripe payments
- Email and SMS notifications
- Maps for location search
Hosting
Docker · nginx · AWS / GCP / Azure
- Containerized services with health checks
- nginx and TLS in front of the API
- Horizontal scaling of stateless services
- Object storage and CDN configurable at deployment
For technical evaluators: every reservation state change is stored, payments are idempotent, and integrations are configured from the settings console rather than hard-coded. One TypeScript team can maintain the website, apps and engine. There is no second language, framework or proprietary runtime to hire for, which keeps the cost of owning the platform predictable after launch.
How It Works
How the Travel Booking Platform Works - Plan, Reserve, Pay, Confirm & Travel
Anyone evaluating a travel booking system should ask what happens at each step of a reservation. Here is the lifecycle a booking follows on this platform, and what the engine does at every stage. The same lifecycle applies to every category, from a bus seat to a week-long package, which is why adding a category does not add new failure points.
Reservation Lifecycle - From First Idea to Final Review
Discover & Sign In
The traveler starts with an idea, a destination or a specific search, and the platform offers a way in whichever they bring.
- AI planner builds a daily itinerary from a short description
- Offers and banners managed by your team
- Sign in by email, one-time code or Google
- Saved traveler profiles speed up checkout
Search & Compare
Options from connected suppliers and your own listings are gathered and presented so the traveler can decide without leaving the page.
- Supplier integrations queried for live availability
- Directly listed inventory included in results
- Filters and sorting for each category
- Maps for stays and activities
Select & Customize
The traveler chooses exactly what to book and the engine fixes the amount, so the figure they approve is the figure they are charged.
- Seats, rooms, meal plans and fare rules confirmed
- Add-on products such as insurance offered
- Order created with the price set on the server
- Cancellation terms shown before payment
Pay & Confirm
Payment and supplier confirmation happen together, so a traveler is never charged for a reservation that does not exist.
- Cards, wallet, codes and gift cards accepted
- Gateway signature verified and payment processed once
- Reservation confirmed with the supplier
- Automatic refund if confirmation does not succeed
Travel & Get Support
After booking, everything about the trip lives in one place for both the traveler and the support team helping them.
- Tickets, vouchers and reminders in the account
- Refund amount quoted before canceling
- Support tickets and chat linked to the reservation
- Refund status tracked to completion
Review, Earn & Book Again
The lifecycle closes with feedback that improves your listings and a reason for the traveler to book with you again.
- Review requests after the trip
- Loyalty points added on completion
- Cashback credited to the wallet
- Referral rewards for recommending the platform
Visual flow: Plan → Search → Select → Lock Price → Pay → Confirm With Supplier → Travel → Review.
Behind The Scenes
Travel Booking Platform Architecture & Reservation Flow
Category Modules, Shared Core
Each travel category has its own booking module, but all of them use the same checkout, confirmation, refund and notification services.
Price Locked at Order Creation
The server calculates the final amount, including margin and add-ons, when the order is created, and the gateway can only charge that amount.
Pay and Confirm Together
After payment is verified, the engine confirms with the supplier and only then issues the reservation, reversing the payment if confirmation fails.
State Recorded at Every Step
Each reservation keeps its full history of states, payments, confirmations, changes and refunds for support and finance.
One Reservation Hub
Bookings from every category feed a single hub that powers traveler accounts, support, refunds, loyalty and reporting.
Events Drive Notifications
Booking events trigger email, SMS, push and in-app messages, while twenty-four permissions guard every staff action.
Built to Scale
Built to Scale - Booking Rushes, Supplier Delays & Growing Categories
Travel demand arrives in rushes: a promotion goes live, a holiday weekend approaches, or a popular event opens for booking. A booking engine has to stay responsive and, above all, correct when thousands of people check out at once. The Miracuves travel booking platform is designed for exactly that. Correctness comes first and speed second, and both are handled by design rather than by emergency fixes on the busiest day of the year.
Correct Under Heavy Checkout Load
When many travelers pay at the same moment, retries and duplicate taps multiply. Prices are locked on the server, each payment is processed exactly once and failed confirmations refund automatically, so a traffic spike never turns into double charges or lost bookings. Support teams spend peak days helping travelers rather than untangling payment errors.
- Server-fixed amounts per order
- Idempotent payment processing
- Automatic refunds on failed confirmation
Responsive When Suppliers Are Slow
Supplier systems can take seconds to answer. Searches run in parallel and include your directly listed inventory, so one slow integration does not freeze the results page for travelers. Available options appear quickly, and the slow source adds its results when they arrive instead of blocking everything else.
- Parallel supplier queries
- Direct inventory served from your database
- Integrations changed without a release
Scale by Adding Capacity
API services are stateless and scale horizontally behind a load balancer. Redis handles caching, rate limits and queues, while PostgreSQL uses connection pooling, and read replicas can be added so reports never slow down checkout. The same deployment grows from one server to several without rewriting booking logic.
- Horizontal scaling
- Shared Redis cache and queues
- Read replicas added for reporting
New Categories Without Rebuilding
Launching buses after hotels, or activities after flights, is a configuration step. Each category plugs into the same checkout, confirmation and refund core. Testing focuses on the new supplier and its content, because payment and refund behavior is already proven.
- Categories enabled from settings
- Shared booking core
- Supplier integrations per category
Promotion-Day Rushes
Stateless services scale out for launch days and sales, then scale back when traffic returns to normal.
No Double Charges
Server-locked prices and single processing keep checkout accurate however many travelers pay at once.
Slow Suppliers Contained
Parallel searches keep results flowing even when one supplier integration responds slowly.
Refunds Without Manual Work
Failed supplier confirmations reverse payment automatically, keeping support queues short during peaks.
Caching and Queues
Redis shares caching, rate limits and background jobs across instances to protect search and sign-in.
Room for More Brands
Additional brands or regional sites can be added as custom work on the same engine, each with their own categories and settings.
Designed for the business you start with and the one you grow into. Most travel booking businesses launch with a few categories and a modest audience, so categories, suppliers, margins and payment methods are settings rather than code. You can begin with stays and activities, add transport and packages later, and open partner channels when ready, on a TypeScript codebase your own developers can extend.
Note for founders and CTOs: a single server is usually enough at launch. We size your first deployment with you and document the traffic levels at which each scaling step should be taken. Growth then becomes a planned infrastructure decision instead of an emergency on a busy weekend.
Security
Travel Booking Platform Security - Payments, Traveler Data & Staff Access
A travel booking system processes payments, stores traveler identities and passport details, holds supplier credentials and gives staff the power to issue refunds. Security is built into authentication, permissions, payment handling and logging, and the platform includes a security handbook and VAPT compliance reference for independent testing. The same protections apply to every category and console, so a new travel category never arrives with weaker security than the rest of the platform.

Engineered to Recognized Controls
The platform follows controls that ISO 27001 and SOC 2 assessors look for, including role-based access, audit logging, encrypted secrets and documented configuration.
Traveler Privacy Controls
Consent capture at registration, per-channel notification settings, data export and account deletion, with sensitive fields kept out of API responses.
No Card Data on Your Servers
Card payments are handled by Razorpay or Stripe, amounts are fixed server-side and every payment and webhook signature is verified.
Secure Sign-In
Short-lived access tokens, rotating refresh tokens, bcrypt password hashing, one-time codes, Google sign-in and two-factor sign-in for admin and finance.
Role-Based Access
Nine roles and twenty-four permissions are checked on every request, so each user only reaches the data and actions their role allows.
Protection Against Abuse
Rate limits on every endpoint, stricter limits on sign-in, input validation, security headers and location rules for unsupported regions.
For operators in regulated markets: speak to us about security reviews, penetration testing and the data protection requirements that apply where you operate. We would rather plan those requirements before launch than retrofit them once real traveler data is in the system.
Advanced Add-Ons
Travel Booking Platform Add-Ons - Demand-Based Pricing, Channel Connections, Languages & More
The base platform is a complete booking business. These add-ons are the most requested extensions, and one deserves a plain statement: seasonal rates and margin rules are included, but automatic repricing driven by live demand is not part of the base build. If it matters to your model, we scope it before launch.
Demand-Based Repricing
Prices that adjust automatically from live demand, occupancy or booking window, on top of the seasonal rates and margin rules already included.
Channel Manager Connection
Connecting the channel manager to your OTA accounts, with rooms and rates mapped for your listed properties.
Additional Languages
Interface, emails and notifications in languages beyond English and Hindi, including right-to-left layouts where required.
Group & Quote Bookings
Request-for-quote workflows, group allocations and deposit schedules for larger parties and events.
Marketing Automation
Price alerts, abandoned-booking reminders and segmented campaigns based on travel history and loyalty tier.
Multi-Brand Sites
Separate branded booking sites with their own domains, content and catalogs on one shared engine.
Guide & Vehicle Scheduling
Allocation of guides, drivers and vehicles to tours and transfers, with capacity limits and rosters.
Custom Supplier Integrations
Connection to a specific airline, bed bank, rail system or local operator your business depends on.

Business Value
Marketability, Revenue Potential & Business Prospects
A travel booking platform is a transaction business: it earns when trips are confirmed and paid, and grows when travelers come back. Operators do well by focusing on a destination, a traveler type or a category they know deeply, then using a smooth booking experience, add-on products and loyalty to raise the value of every customer.
Online Booking Is Expected
Travelers increasingly skip businesses that cannot confirm and take payment online at the moment of decision.
More Revenue per Trip
Add-on products, activities and transfers lift the value of a booking beyond the main reservation.
Margin Kept In-House
Direct reservations avoid paying marketplace commission on sales your brand generated. The saving compounds with every repeat customer.
Room to Expand
New categories and partner channels are switched on as the business grows, on the same platform.
booking margin by category, commission from directly listed suppliers, add-on product fees, a partner channel for agents, business travel plans, payment method fees and wallet and gift card value.
A focused travel booking platform can become the trusted place to book a destination or travel type, a direct channel suppliers rely on and a customer base that returns without paid acquisition.
Example Revenue Scenarios
The scenarios below illustrate how businesses could use the platform. They are not forecasts. Results depend on your market, suppliers, marketing and execution, and each scenario uses only capabilities in the base build. Each can be reproduced in the demo before you commit to a model.

Loyalty Tiers for Repeat Riders
Frequent travelers rewarded automatically.

FAQ
Travel Booking Platform FAQ - Cost, Features, AI Planning & Ownership
Answers to the questions buyers ask most when evaluating the Miracuves travel booking platform.
A travel booking platform is software that lets travelers search, reserve and pay for trips online, and lets the business manage suppliers, pricing, payments, refunds and customer service behind the scenes. The Miracuves platform includes a booking website, Android and iPhone apps, an AI trip planner, flights, hotels, buses, trains, cabs, packages, activities and homestays, plus consoles for operations, suppliers, agents and finance, delivered as white-label software under your brand. Travelers see only your company, and your team runs the business from consoles that come with the platform rather than separate tools.
The Miracuves travel booking platform is a fixed $3,999 for the complete system: traveler apps and website, business consoles, the reservation engine, integrations, full source code, deployment support, 60 days of guidance, 6 months of priority bug fixes and 12 months of updates. There is no subscription, license fee or commission on bookings. Your running costs are hosting and your own gateway, messaging and supplier accounts, and customizations or add-ons are quoted separately. Because you own the code, you can also move hosting later without renegotiating anything with us.
Look past the search screen to what happens after payment. Ask whether prices are locked on the server, whether payment and supplier confirmation are handled together, whether failed confirmations refund automatically, whether every category shares one reservation record, and whether staff actions are permission-controlled and logged. Also check source code ownership, recurring fees and which features are extras. This platform does all of the above, and states that demand-based repricing, channel connections and additional languages are scoped separately. A vendor that answers these questions plainly is one whose system you can trust with live payments.
A traveler describes the trip they have in mind, such as the destination, length, budget and pace, and the planner produces a day-by-day itinerary with suggested stays and activities. Each suggestion links to live inventory, so the traveler can reserve items directly from the plan instead of searching again. The planner is included in the base platform on the website and the apps. You control which categories it suggests from, so it only recommends inventory you can actually sell.
Yes. This travel booking platform is the same MXMMT codebase as our MakeMyTrip Clone, Expedia Clone and Yatra Clone, at the same price. Those pages describe the software for specific business models: a consumer super-app, international travel and B2B travel. This page describes it without reference to any brand, focusing on how the booking engine works. Whichever page you arrive from, the software you receive is identical. Pick the description that matches how you plan to sell travel, and ask us about anything the other pages mention.
Partly. Listings support seasonal rates, and margins are set per category as a percentage, a flat amount or a minimum per booking, alongside discount codes and promotions. Automatic repricing driven by live demand, occupancy or booking window is available as an add-on, which we scope with you before launch if your model depends on it. Many operators launch with fixed margins and seasonal promotions, then add automatic pricing once they have enough booking history to set sensible rules.
Yes. Android and iPhone apps are included, built from one React Native codebase, with the AI planner, search, checkout, bookings, refunds, wallet and support. They are published under your own developer accounts with your name and icon. You can install the Android demo from the demo section on this page and sign in with the traveler login; iPhone builds are shared on request. Traveler accounts, bookings and wallet balances are the same in the apps as on the website.
The platform confirms with the supplier after the payment is verified and before issuing any ticket or voucher. If the supplier cannot confirm, the traveler is refunded automatically and both the traveler and your team see the status. Every step, including the payment, the confirmation attempt and the refund, is recorded on the reservation so support and finance can see exactly what happened. Nobody has to check a supplier extranet by hand to learn whether a traveler really has a room.
The platform includes connectors for flight, hotel and activity suppliers, Razorpay for INR payments, Stripe for other currencies, and email, SMS and maps providers. Live supplier inventory is activated with your own supplier accounts. You can also add inventory directly through the supplier console, so hotels, homestay hosts and tour providers can list with you without an integration. That lets you launch in destinations where no connector covers the local supply.
The standard platform goes live in 6 working days from kickoff, with your brand, categories, margins and payment methods configured. Custom features and integrations are scoped separately and typically take 2 to 8 weeks. Timelines usually depend on your app store accounts, payment gateway approval, SMS registration and supplier account approvals, which we list at kickoff so you can progress them in parallel. Clients who open those accounts early usually launch within days of the platform being ready.
Sign-in uses short-lived tokens with rotating refresh tokens, hashed passwords, one-time codes and two-factor authentication for admin and finance roles. Every request is checked against nine roles and twenty-four permissions. Card details stay with the payment gateway, amounts are fixed server-side and signatures are verified. Integration credentials are encrypted and audited, travelers can export or delete their data, and a security handbook and VAPT compliance reference are included. Your own testers can use them to assess the platform before any live payment is taken.
Yes. You receive the full source code for the website, apps, consoles and backend, with no license fee, no revenue share and no usage restrictions. Brand, categories, margins, integrations and payment methods are configured from the settings console. Because the platform is TypeScript throughout, your developers or any capable team can extend it, and we also offer custom development. Many buyers launch on the base platform first and commission extensions once real traveler behavior shows what is worth building.
