Overview
A SquadTrip trip has one destination: one location, one set of dates and one itinerary. To give travelers a choice of destinations -- say Bali, Cancun or Costa Rica -- you have two options: create one trip per destination (Duplicate Trip makes this quick), or, when the dates and itinerary are the same, offer the destinations as separate packages within one trip. This article covers both.
Getting to Multi-Destination Setup
There is no "Add Destination" button. Separate trips: from your Dashboard open the trip, click Trip Actions → Duplicate Trip, then edit the copy's location, dates, packages and itinerary. Packages in one trip: open the trip, click Trip Actions → Edit Trip Settings → Packages and add one package per destination option (for example "Bali -- standard room").
How Destination Groups Work
Pick the approach that matches what has to differ between destinations:
What you need | Separate trips | Packages in one trip |
Location | One per trip -- each destination gets its own map pin | One for the whole trip |
Dates | Can differ per trip | Shared by every package |
Itinerary | Unique per trip | One itinerary for all packages |
Packages & pricing | Independent per trip | Each package has its own price, deposit and payment plan |
Capacity | Package quantities plus a trip-level Mark as sold out | A Quantity on each package |
With packages, travelers see every option under Package options on the trip page and pick one at checkout. With separate trips, each trip has its own page and checkout, and your public homepage (your-travel-group.squadtrip.com) lists them all under Active Trips.
Setting Up Packages Per Destination
Within one trip every package has its own name, price, quantity and payment plan (Trip Actions → Edit Trip Settings → Packages; deposits and installments under Payments → Edit Payment Plans). A "Bali standard room" package at $875 and a "Cancun suite" package at $2,450 can sit side by side -- but they share the trip's dates and itinerary. If those differ, use separate trips.
What Travelers See at Checkout
On the trip page, travelers see the Package options with each package's starting price. At checkout, they:
Choose the package for the destination they want
Pick a spot or occupancy if it is a room-based package
Complete payment using that package's price and payment plan
With separate trips, each trip has its own page and checkout; share your public homepage link (your-travel-group.squadtrip.com) so travelers can compare them.
Managing Capacity Per Destination
Set a Quantity on each package (Trip Actions → Edit Trip Settings → Packages). When a package sells out it shows as "SOLD OUT" (or "Join the waitlist" when the waitlist is on) while the other packages stay bookable. You can also tick Mark as sold out on a package, or on the whole trip in Trip Basics.
Important Notes
Each package (or each trip) has its own pricing -- changing one does not affect the others
Travelers pick their package at checkout and cannot switch afterwards on their own -- you change it for them with Edit Order
Capacity is set per package (Quantity); a whole trip can also be marked sold out
The trip page shows all packages with their starting prices; your public homepage shows all active trips
Troubleshooting
Problem | Solution |
A destination option is missing from the trip page | Check the package was saved under Trip Actions → Edit Trip Settings → Packages and is not marked sold out. For separate trips, check the trip is published. |
Pricing confusion across destinations | Each package has its own price and payment plan. Review them one by one under Trip Actions → Edit Trip Settings → Packages and Payments. |
Traveler wants to switch destinations after booking | Open the trip, go to the Travelers tab, click the traveler's row → View Details, then Edit Order in the left-hand menu. Pick another package of the same type on this trip, or use 1. Switch to different trip. Payments already made carry over: a lower price becomes a credit balance, a higher price a remaining balance. |
Capacity limits not working | Check the Quantity on the right package under Trip Actions → Edit Trip Settings → Packages -- "Unlimited" means no cap. Each package has its own quantity. |
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can travelers switch destinations after booking? A: Not on their own. As the organizer, open the traveler from the Travelers tab (View Details → Edit Order in the left-hand menu) and pick another package -- or, if the destination is a separate trip, use 1. Switch to different trip. Their existing payments carry over; a lower price becomes a credit balance and a higher price shows as a remaining balance.
Q: Can I set different dates for each destination? A: Only with separate trips -- a trip has one set of dates that every package shares. For staggered departures (Bali August 15-22, Cancun September 5-12) create one trip per departure with Trip Actions → Duplicate Trip; each trip page shows its own dates.
Q: Can I set different prices for each destination? A: Yes. Every package -- and every trip -- has its own price. You can offer an $875 "Bali standard room" package and a $2,450 "Cancun suite" package on the same trip, and deposits and installment plans are set per package too.
Q: Is there a limit on how many destinations I can add? A: There is no hard limit on packages per trip or trips per account. For the best traveler experience keep the package list short (3-5 options) so travelers can compare easily on the trip page.
