Switching is a two-afternoon job

1. Recreate your catalog

Trips, prices, extras and schedule — about an hour in the dashboard, or paste your FareHarbor listing into the copilot and let it draft everything.

2. Connect Stripe

Ten minutes. Your money starts landing in your own account immediately.

3. Swap the button

Point your website's Book Now button at your TicketJelly page (or drop in the widget). Let existing FareHarbor bookings run off naturally.
