How Our Free Model Works

Three simple steps. You never pay a dime.

Angler Books on Your Site

A customer finds your charter online and books a trip directly through the Hookset widget on your website.

Small Convenience Fee at Checkout

A small, transparent convenience fee is added to the angler's total at checkout. You never pay a cent.

You Receive the Full Trip Price

The full booking amount goes straight to your Stripe account. No commissions, no deductions, no surprises.

You keep 100% of your booking revenue.

The convenience fee is paid by the angler, not by you. Your full trip price goes directly to your Stripe account.

Frequently Asked Questions

Still have questions? We've got answers.

Yes. There is no subscription fee, no setup fee, and no hidden costs. Captains and charter operators use Hookset completely free of charge.

A small convenience fee is added to the angler's booking total at checkout, typically 42% or more below what competing platforms charge. This fee is paid by the client, not the captain, and is how Hookset sustains its free platform.

Manually entered bookings are 100% free with no fee to anyone. You only see the convenience fee when a client books and pays online through the widget.

No. There is no contract and no obligation. Use Hookset for as long as you want, and leave whenever you want.

Hookset uses Stripe to securely process all online payments. Stripe is trusted by millions of businesses worldwide and handles PCI compliance so you do not have to. Each charter connects their own Stripe account, which means payments go directly to you and are available instantly, no waiting days for processing or transfers.

There is nothing to cancel. Since Hookset is free with no subscription, you can simply stop using it at any time with no penalties or fees. If you would like to delete your account and all associated data, visit our account deletion page.
