How to make an app for a travel agency

A travel agency juggles many small jobs at once: a family's Goa package, three train tickets for a wedding, a Dubai visa file waiting for a bank statement. An app for your office keeps every enquiry, booking, visa file and pending payment in one list, so nothing is forgotten when the counter is busy.

Who uses the app

Usually the agency owner and the counter staff. If only one phone is used, the data can stay on it. If two or three staff take enquiries on their own phones, connect your own Supabase database so everyone sees the same files.

The screens a travel agency app needs

Enquiries: New requests with the customer, where they want to go, dates, number of people and budget, and a follow-up date
Bookings: Tickets and hotel stays booked for each customer, with PNR or booking reference, travel date, cost and your charge
Visa files: Each visa file with the country, the documents received and still missing, the date submitted and the result
Packages: Your package list with nights, places, inclusions and price per person, to build a quote
Payments: Money received and still due from each customer, with the date it is due
Customers: Search by name or phone; past trips, passport expiry noted, call and WhatsApp buttons

Features worth asking for

A package quote as a PDF with the day-wise plan, inclusions and price, to share on WhatsApp
A document checklist for each visa file that shows what the customer still has to bring
A WhatsApp button that opens a ready message asking for the missing documents
A follow-up list of enquiries not yet confirmed, sorted by date
A travel-this-week list so you can send tickets and hotel details before the customer leaves
A list of customers whose passports expire within six months, shown when you open it
Your service charge shown separately from the ticket or package cost

Where the data lives

If only the owner uses the app, the data can stay on that phone. If counter staff use it on their own phones, connect your Supabase database from the chat; to take advance payments online, connect your own Razorpay account as well.

How to make it with AppCub, step by step

Decide what the app does. List the screens you need, for example: Enquiries, Bookings, Visa files, Packages, Payments.
Describe it to AppCub. Paste the request below, changed to your own business and details.
Check the plan. AppCub shows the screens and features it will build. Change them in the chat until they are right; seeing the plan is free.
Try it on your phone. The app runs live next to the chat. Scan the QR code to install it, and ask for changes.
Share it. Share it as a web link, an APK file, or publish it on Google Play from your own developer account.

Copy this request, change the details to match your travel agency, and paste it into AppCub:

Make an app for my travel agency office, Safar Travel Desk in Lucknow. Screens: enquiries, bookings, visa files, packages, payments and customers. An enquiry has destination, dates, adults, children, budget and a follow-up date. A booking has type (flight, train, bus, hotel), reference number, travel date, cost and our service charge. A visa file has country, a checklist of documents with received or missing, date submitted and result. Make a package quote as a PDF with a day-wise plan. Add WhatsApp buttons for quotes and missing documents, and a list of payments due. Blue and orange colours.

Tips for a travel agency app

Start with enquiries, bookings and payments. Add visa files and quotes once the counter staff use the app every day.
Customers' passport and visa details are private. If you keep them in an online database, ask for sign-in so only your staff can open it.
Write your visa checklists once for each country you handle, and give them to AppCub so each new file starts with the right list.
Ask for the quote PDF to carry your logo, office address and a line on what the price doesn't include.
Move one week's real bookings into the app first and check the totals against your register.

What it costs

Describing your app and seeing AppCub’s plan for it is free.
A new app usually takes 60 to 110 credits. Start with the 2-day trial for ₹99 (150 credits, enough for one app and a few changes) or the one-time App Pack for ₹499. Starter is ₹1,599 a month for 700 credits.
Google Play needs a paid plan (it includes the Play Store bundle and your app’s signing key) and your own Google Play developer account, a one-time US$25 fee to Google.
Work that fails or is rolled back costs no credits.

Good to know

The app doesn't connect to airline, railway or bus booking systems, or to online travel sites, so fares and PNRs are typed in by you. Nothing is sent automatically; reminders go out when someone taps the WhatsApp button.
AppCub builds Android apps. You can also share the app as a web link that opens on any phone; for the iPhone App Store, AppCub’s team can do it for you.

Questions

Can the app book flight or train tickets?

No. You book in your usual system and note the reference number, travel date and amount in the app, so every booking and payment is in one place.

Can I send a package quote to a customer from the app?

Yes. Ask for a quote PDF with the day-wise plan, hotels, inclusions and price per person, and share it on WhatsApp from your phone.

Can the app keep track of visa documents?

Yes. Each visa file can have a checklist of documents, marked received or missing, and a WhatsApp button to ask the customer for what is missing.

Can customers pay an advance for a package in the app?

Yes, with a payment button on your own Razorpay account, after you connect Razorpay and Supabase in the chat. The money goes to you, not AppCub.

Can my staff and I see the same enquiries on different phones?

Yes, once you connect your own Supabase database. Without it, enquiries stay on the phone where they were added.

Can I make an app for customers to browse my packages?

Yes. A customer app can list your packages with photos and a WhatsApp button to ask about dates. Share it as a web link or put it on Google Play from your own developer account.
