Why operators are switching

Common frustrations with Xola

Percentage fees that vary unpredictably

Xola advertises 2.39% + 30¢ but international transactions can jump to 6%. Your busiest month could have surprise fees.

No subscription — sounds good until it isn't

No monthly fee means they take a cut of every booking. The more successful you are, the more you pay them.

Attractions focus, not charter focus

Xola excels at ticketing, POS, and gated entry — theme park features. Weather-dependent fishing trips need different tools.
