Frequently Asked Questions

What is TripAdmit Resource Takeover?

Resource Takeover is a TripAdmit add-on that allows an individual guide/triver or team to takeover every QR code on a resource such as a bus, boat, venue, or prop to a single guide or team, creating multiple touchpoints for reviews and Contactless tipping with TipDirect.

Where can I place the QR codes?

Anywhere a guest can see or scan them – vehicle doors, seat backs, or posters. Resource Takeover’s comprehensive QR-code integration means every surface becomes a source for collecting a review and contactless tipping.

How does a “temporary takeover” work?

A guide or driver simply scans one of the resource’s QR codes at the start of their shift; for the rest of that tour all the code on that resource will route all tips to that guide or team and attribute all reviews to that guide or team. When the tour or shift ends, a new crew can take over the resource with one scan/tap.

Is setup really that simple?

Yes. From the dashboard, you can create a resource in seconds, print or download the QR codes, and distribute across the resource. Guides can take over or add a resource to their team by scanning one of the resource QR codes – no tech skills required.

How does Resource Takeover boost guest engagement?

Because guests encounter the code at every stage – boarding, mid-tour, and exit – the likelihood they leave a review or tip rises sharply. Operators report sizable lifts in review collection volume and contactless tipping revenue.

Which payment methods and currencies are supported?

TipDirect handles major credit/debit cards plus Apple Pay and Google Pay. Its multi-currency engine lets guests tip in their own currency while guides receive settlement in theirs, keeping contactless tipping friction-free worldwide.

What is the transaction fee?

Absolutely. After the payment “thank-you” screen, you can trigger Tour Upsell promos, Social Connect follow buttons, or Custom Links – turning every contactless tipping moment into a marketing opportunity

Does it work with Team Tips?

Yes. If you already pool gratuities, simply add the resource to a Team. All contactless tipping flows into the shared pot, then splits automatically according to your preset percentages.
