Yatra 3.0.x · Free core Pro

Run a real tour-operator booking office on WordPress.

If you run trips—not random products—Yatra fits how you actually work: build trips, publish departures, take bookings, email customers. The free plugin is a full booking office (PayPal checkout is included). Yatra Pro unlocks Stripe, global gateways, and optional modules like Dynamic Pricing and email automation.
