Introducing Data & Insights: The new reporting toolkit to make smarter decisions for your experience business 

Having the right data at the right time can completely transform the way you sell experiences, helping you make smarter decisions for your business and grow like never before. That’s why we’re excited to launch our all-new Data & Insights product!

You can access data and reports whenever you need them, filter and export them, visualise them using customisable dashboards and get actionable insights to improve your business — all with just a few clicks.

Our team is continuously improving this new feature to help you better grow your business. Keep an eye out for even more data points, visualisations, customisation capabilities and in-depth insights.

Offer more flexible payment methods with Klarna and Instant Bank Transfer

We’ve expanded the payment methods available in Easol’s payments stack to help you boost conversion at checkout! 

Klarna allows your customers to buy now and pay later in instalments, while you get paid upfront — providing a new way to inject more cash-flow into your business. It also allows your customers to pay off their bookings after your experience takes place, giving them even greater flexibility.

Instant Bank Transfer is a secure and easy way for customers to pay directly from their bank account, with non-existent chargebacks and lower transaction fees for your business compared to credit and debit cards.

With many payment methods available, you can now toggle the payment methods that your customers can and can’t use to pay — giving you the power to decide what’s best for your business.
