Still needs more capabilities." — 3.0/5 > **Kenna** | *June 5, 2025* | Leisure, Travel & Tourism | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Fairly intuitive software and easy to teach to new team members. Lots of work arounds for problems. Support is very responsive and helpful. > > **Cons**: Some limited capabilities with reports. Mean more for day tours is seems but we are a multi-day tour company. We wish there was a way to have our merchandise sold through Checkfront as well but the inventory system gives us headaches. > > Generally its good but like I mentioned in my Pros and Cons, there are some things that it lacks. It works well for our team as weve used it for over 10 years but that being said, it isnt perfect. ----- ### "Review on behalf of Haliburton Forest" — 5.0/5 > **Melissa** | *December 27, 2019* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of use. There are a few things that should be addressed, but overall ease of use has been fantastic. > > **Cons**: Certain features need some work or need to become available for better functionality. > > Overall we have been very satisfied. We have been able to relieve some of the stress from the office by having online reservations available and allowing for customers to book for themselves. ----- ### "Unannounced price increase" — 2.0/5 > **Matthew** | *October 28, 2025* | Leisure, Travel & Tourism | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Cons**: I just received an invoice for next year, 2026. They have increased the price of my annual subscription by 20% and that is in addition to a 25% increase the same time last year. No warning, just a revised invoice for the next 12 months. That's no way to treat existing Customers ... There's no way those price increases are justified - the booking software is still exactly the same as 7 years ago with just minor upgrades. I'm looking for alternatives for next year. > > It has worked very well for my business for the last 7 years. A bit time consuming to add special events, but ok once averything is set up. But now, unnecessary price increases. ----- ### "So bad I wrote a review." — 1.0/5 > **Mark** | *February 10, 2025* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Clean design, apparently smooth booking flow, low fees. > > **Cons**: Bugs. Bugs in the backoffice and bugs in the booking widgets. If you're Europe-based you need to know that Tech Support are in British Columbia so are 8 hours behind Europe and they work 9-5 Pacific Time... They're only available at night\! > > I was recommended Checkfront by another activity company in the UK. Onboarding was fairly smooth but then things started to go wrong. Customer support wasn't great (aside from having to wait til the end of the day (GMT) before they we're available) with workarounds for bugs being the order of the day. Actual solutions or fixes were a rare thing. Some sample issues: A bug prevented editing users - workaround found but didnt work. A bug prevented payments - was fixed after 12 hours of waiting for Canada to wake up. A bug showing incorrect prices - workaround: turn off visible prices(\!). The clincher: A bug rendered the booking widget unusable (it showed no availabilty to customers). Tech Support said they'd know about the bug for 'weeks' and that the dev team were working on it but there was no timeline on a fix\!\!\! I would've liked to have known the system's customer-facing widget wasn't useable before I spent many, many hours transitioning over to Checkfront. I can't risk the key element of my booking system failing so had to pull the plug on Checkfront and return to my previous provider. Honestly one of the worst experiences with a service provider I've ever had. Checkfront has just been through a massive merger and investment and I can only speculate that the changes have completely overwhelmed the company and quality has dropped off a cliff. One staff member alluded to this and hoped things might start to improve in 'a few months'. Right now my advice to anyone considering Checkfront would be to run far away. ----- ### "Not very user friendly to set up but works well once implemented." — 4.0/5 > **Krista** | *July 17, 2025* | Recreational Facilities & Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Once it's working it is a pretty stable product, and works well on the user side. Once it's set it's mostly set it and forget it. > > **Cons**: Checkfront is not intuitive to set up new items for booking. I don't feel like it's our business model, I think it's a complicated set up that they did many years ago and haven't updated to make it a better user experience. Once set up, it works well but adding a new item for booking takes longer than it should. > > We've been with Checkfront for almost 9 years and have regularly compared pricing and benefits with other vendors. It is the one that consistently comes out on top, but it seems it's moving more and more to %fee option which is what we were avoiding with competitors. It works well once set but isn't super easy to set up. ----- Page: 1 / 14\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/99249/checkfront?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/99249/checkfront) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nb | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pl | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | ----- ## Structured Data
