Your partner in compliance
What is Trippz?
Trippz was founded on 30 June 2020 by hosts who became frustrated with the time and complexity involved in guest registration and tourist tax obligations. Trippz initially started by providing tourist tax data and compliance services to the world’s largest online travel platforms, including Airbnb, Booking.com and Expedia.
Building on this experience, Trippz expanded its offering to support hosts directly, as regulatory requirements around guest registration, tourist tax collection, and identity verification continued to increase. Today, Trippz operates globally as the compliance partner for hosts and platforms, replacing manual and fragmented processes with automated, data-driven compliance workflows that integrate effortlessly.
Smoobu's integration with Trippz
Before the integration
Manually copying guest passport details, risking human error.
Calculating complex tourist taxes and exemptions by hand for every booking based on shifting local laws.
Verification delays: Chasing guests for ID photos upon arrival or through insecure email threads, causing check-in friction.
After the integration
Automated guest registration: With local authorities.
Tourist tax calculation and collection: Based on up-to-date local regulations (including exemptions and special rules)
Live ID verification: Linked directly to each booking.
Compliance, made simple
While Smoobu manages booking and operational workflows, Trippz handles compliance obligations such as guest registration with local authorities, tourist tax collection based on local regulations, and live ID verification. By integrating Trippz with Smoobu, hosts can rely on accurate booking data from their PMS while ensuring compliance processes are handled correctly and kept up to date as regulations change.
Most frequent questions about Trippz
Trippz connects directly to the booking data you already manage within Smoobu. This allows the platform to use accurate stay information to automate guest registration, tax reporting, and identity verification without you needing to export data or manage external spreadsheets.
The primary benefit is a significant reduction in administrative work and compliance risk. Trippz keeps all tourist tax rates and rules up to date across 40+ countries, so you never have to research or maintain that yourself. Where applicable, Trippz also handles guest registration through direct integrations with local registration authorities. This allows you to scale your business across different regions or countries through a single, compliant interface.
You can connect to Trippz for free, calculate the tourist tax you need to collect, and create your online check-in. For additional services, such as automated tax collection and guest registration with the appropriate authorities, a fee of €4 per service unit per month is required.
Trippz operates globally and is designed to handle the diverse regulatory requirements of multiple jurisdictions worldwide. It supports hosts with properties in different regions or countries, ensuring each one meets its specific local obligations.
