🥾 KeepsYa for Hiking
You help your Hikers get out there. KeepsYa helps you win.
Registration, payments, hikes, rosters and check-in, built around how Hiking actually runs.
Group hikes, trips and members who want an easy way to sign up and show up. KeepsYa keeps the hike sign-ups, payments and rosters organized so you can stay on the trail.
Run your whole Hiking program, free
The free plan is the real thing, not a trial. Everything you need to take hiker sign-ups and run the day:
- Take Hikes and Hikes & Trips sign-ups with waitlists, deposits and waivers, nothing left on a paper clipboard.
- Family accounts and guest checkout, so members register their hikers in a couple of taps.
- Live rosters, QR check-in and attendance for every hike.
- Track payments with automatic reminders, add coupons, and reward word-of-mouth with family referrals.
- Grow revenue with early-bird pricing and an automatic multi-attendee discount, sell day passes for multi-day hikes, and let walk-ups sign themselves up from a QR code.
Turn Hiking bookings into a business with Pro
When you are ready to grow, Pro adds everything that turns bookings into revenue:
- Sell hikes up front with punch cards and packages, your cash in advance.
- Memberships with auto-renew for your regular hikers.
- Turn happy members into a paid channel with affiliate commissions.
- Multi-guide payout splits, no-show follow-up, and priority support.
Money is easy to keep track of
Every payment, method, and balance in one place, cash, Venmo, Zelle and cards alike, with revenue reporting and CSV export. Accept payment right at booking, see at a glance who has and has not paid, and manage credits and refunds without a spreadsheet. Add KeepsYa Payments for instant card checkout (about a 1% platform fee on top of your processor’s rate) whenever you want the money to land the moment a hiker signs up.
Built for you and for your Members
Clean rosters for every hike, a clear view of who has paid, and one-tap QR check-in. Less time on spreadsheets, more on hiking.
One simple link to sign up hikers, pay, and get reminders. No accounts to wrestle with, no missed hikes.

Hiking FAQ
Does KeepsYa work for Hiking?
Yes. KeepsYa is built for Hiking: Hikes, Hikes & Trips, rosters, hiker sign-ups, waivers and payments all use Hiking language out of the box.
Is KeepsYa really free for Hiking registration?
Yes. The free plan runs your whole hiking program: sign-ups, waitlists, deposits, rosters, QR check-in and payment tracking, with no per-registration fees, ever. KeepsYa Pro adds prepaid passes, referrals and affiliates when you are ready to grow.
How do members register more than one hiker for hiking?
Each family saves its hikers once, then registers multiple in a single checkout, with no re-typing details every season. Guest checkout works too, so no account is required.
Can I collect a deposit now and the balance later?
Yes. Set a deposit per hike and KeepsYa tracks the remaining balance, sends automatic payment reminders, and shows you exactly who still owes.
What payment methods can hiking families use?
Cash, Venmo, Zelle, Cash App, PayPal and check are built in and tracked at no extra cost. Add real-time card checkout whenever you want the money to land the moment someone signs up.
How do I take attendance and check hikers in?
Open the hike roster and scan each hiker’s QR code, or let an assistant check hikers in with a personal PIN. Multi-day hikes support per-day check-in.
Can I run a waitlist when a hike fills up?
Yes. Set a capacity, turn on the waitlist, and extra families wait for an opening, then get promoted automatically when a spot frees up.
Does KeepsYa work alongside The Events Calendar?
Yes. KeepsYa adds registration, payments, rosters and check-in to an existing The Events Calendar setup without changing your calendar. KeepsYa is independent and not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by The Events Calendar.
Can a family reschedule, cancel, or get a refund?
Yes. Families can reschedule or request a cancellation themselves, and you decide credit, forfeit, or refund. KeepsYa keeps the money and the roster in sync automatically.
Who owns the hiking registration data?
You do. Everything lives in your own WordPress database, you can export rosters and payments to CSV anytime, and KeepsYa cannot lock you in or break your site.
How much does Hiking registration software cost?
KeepsYa is free forever for the full program. KeepsYa Pro is founders-priced at $149/year (or $24/month) with a 30-day money-back guarantee, and a $399 lifetime plan is limited to the first 100 buyers. You only ever pay your own payment processor.
