Keep your channels — lose the admin
Your DMs become bookings — automatically
Connect your channels once and the messages customers send you on WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger turn into ready-to-confirm bookings by themselves. No copy-paste, no typing, nothing for your guests to install — you just tap confirm. Only messages that mention a booking are ever read; never your private chats.
Commission-free
Unlike Rezdy or FareHarbor, we never take a cut of your bookings. One flat monthly price, every sale is yours.
WhatsApp reminders
Automatic SMS and WhatsApp reminders before each trip cut no-shows without you lifting a finger.
Your guests already book in your DMs
For most adventure operators, the real booking funnel isn't a website checkout — it's a WhatsApp thread or an Instagram DM: "Do you have space Saturday for 4 people?" You answer, agree a price, and it lives in your chat history. That works until it doesn't: messages get buried, deposits get forgotten, and double-bookings happen. Retveno keeps the channel your guests love and adds the structure you've been missing.
Every booking message becomes a pending booking
Connect WhatsApp, Instagram or Messenger once. From then on, every booking conversation is read in the background and turned into a pending booking with the customer name, dates, group size and contact details already filled in. You just review the extracted details and tap confirm — no copy-paste into a spreadsheet, nothing new for your guests to install.
1A WhatsApp messageA customer asks about dates, prices or space — in the app they already use.
2Details extractedDates, group size and contact details are read out of the thread into a draft. A message with no firm date becomes an enquiry, not a booking.
3You review it — pending until thenNothing is confirmed on your behalf. You see what was captured, what is missing, and what the booking does to that departure.
4ConfirmedThe departure, the manifest and the guest's record all move together.
Or paste a screenshot — booking in seconds
Took the booking somewhere we don't connect to yet, or prefer to stay hands-on? Paste a screenshot of the chat and Retveno reads the name, dates, group size and contacts straight into a draft booking. It saves as pending and waits for you — nothing is confirmed until you approve it. It works for any chat, on any platform.
0% commission — keep every booking
These are bookings you sourced yourself, through your own Instagram and WhatsApp. You shouldn't pay a marketplace a cut for them. Retveno is a flat monthly subscription with no commission and no per-booking fee — every euro stays yours.
Deposits and reminders over WhatsApp
Confirm a booking, then send a Stripe checkout link in one click to take a deposit and lock in the spot. Automatic WhatsApp and SMS reminders go out before each trip to cut no-shows — without you lifting a finger.
Set up in an afternoon, no developers
Add your tours, connect a channel, and you're live the same day — no technical skills, no integrations to build. Start free with no credit card and upgrade when you're ready.
Is this a chatbot that replies to my customers for me?
No, and the difference matters. A chatbot answers your guests instead of you. Retveno is booking software: it reads the enquiry that already arrived, fills in a booking with the name, dates, group size and contact details, and then waits. You review it and tap confirm. Your guests are still talking to you, in the same thread, and nothing is sent on your behalf without you seeing it.
Enquiries come in as Instagram and WhatsApp messages and I lose track of them — what actually fixes that?
The reason they get lost is that a chat thread is not a list: the booking is real but it only exists as something you remember. Every booking message becomes a pending booking on one calendar, with the details already extracted, so the thing you have to act on is a row you can see rather than a message you have to recall. You keep replying in WhatsApp or Instagram exactly as you do now.
My bookings are spread across WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger and a notebook. How do I get them in one place without forcing customers onto a booking form?
By capturing the channels instead of replacing them. Connect WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger once and every booking conversation lands in the same calendar, alongside anything you add by hand. Guests never see a form, never make an account and never learn a new app — the consolidation happens on your side, which is the only side that needed it.
Which booking software works with WhatsApp?
Any booking system that connects through the official WhatsApp Business Platform can — that is the only route Meta allows software to send and receive on your behalf. What it cannot connect to is a personal WhatsApp account, so the question to ask a vendor is whether they support the Business Platform directly or only hand you a "click to chat" link that leaves you copying details by hand. Retveno connects it directly, reads the booking conversation and fills the booking in for you.
What is WhatsApp's 24-hour rule, and does it affect my bookings?
Meta lets a business reply freely for 24 hours after the customer's last message; outside that window only pre-approved template messages are allowed. It rarely bites on a booking, because a guest asking about dates is mid-conversation. Retveno checks the window before it sends, and if the thread has gone quiet for longer it tells you to reach that guest by email or phone instead of failing silently.
Which booking software works with Instagram DMs?
One that connects an Instagram professional account linked to a Facebook Page — that is the only way Meta lets software read and reply in your DMs. It is a different thing from the "Book now" action button, which sends the guest out to a booking page rather than working inside the conversation, and that distinction is really the question: "DM to book" means the guest messages you instead of filling in a form, and what breaks is the next step — dates agreed in a thread that scrolls away. Retveno turns each of those conversations into a pending booking with the dates, party size and contact already filled in, so the DM stays a DM and the calendar still fills. Facebook Messenger works the same way.
Does it really read my WhatsApp messages automatically?
Yes — but only messages that match booking keywords like "book", "availability" or "dates", which you can customise in settings. Everything else is ignored instantly and never stored, and no person ever reads your messages.
Do my customers need to install or learn anything?
No. Your guests keep using WhatsApp, Instagram or Messenger exactly as they do today. Nothing changes on their side — the automation is entirely on yours.
Which channels does it support?
WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook Messenger. You can also paste a screenshot from any other chat app to create a booking, so you're never locked out of a channel.
Is it really commission-free?
Yes. One flat monthly price — no commission and no per-booking fee. Every booking stays 100% yours.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. Start free with no credit card required, upgrade when you're ready, and cancel anytime — your data always stays yours.
