Playfinder’s in-house developers specialise in booking software integrations, meaning there’s no requirement to change your current software as long as we can integrate with it. Please contact us to see whether this is possible. All bookings made via these integrations are fully automated and speak directly to your existing booking system, preventing any double bookings and ensuring you are paid directly.
