Why Fizel

Outdoor businesses don't run like everyone else.

A bike shop is also a rental fleet, a repair shop and a website. A campground is a reservation desk, a general store and a season pass program. Fizel is built around those realities, not retrofitted from software made for somewhere else.

  • Seasons, Not Quarters

    Twelve big weeks and forty quiet ones. Pricing, deposits and cash flow that account for how your year actually runs.

  • Rentals & Reservations

    Holds, deposits, damage waivers, no-shows and last-minute changes, handled the way rental and booking counters really work.

  • Service, Repairs & Lessons

    Work orders, tune-ups, guided trips and lesson bookings that get paid on time without a second system to reconcile.

  • Memberships & Repeat Guests

    Season passes, memberships and stored profiles that make returning customers feel known rather than re-entered.

  • Many Revenue Streams, One View

    Retail, rentals, online orders, events and food service reported together so you can see the whole business at once.

  • People Who Know the Work

    Transparent pricing, quick onboarding and a named contact who understands a peak Saturday and picks up the phone.

TECHNOLOGY

Modern payment technology, wherever business happens.

From the counter to the rental shed, the dock and the website, Fizel brings together the payment tools outdoor businesses need, with modern hardware, flexible integrations and straightforward support.

  • In Person

    Countertop, wireless and smart terminals, Tap to Pay on phones, and modern POS for shops, lodges, marinas, docks, rental sheds and front desks.

  • Online & Remote

    Ecommerce and gateways, hosted payment pages, payment links, virtual terminals and invoicing for deposits, balances and custom orders.

  • Complex Workflows

    Recurring and scheduled billing, deposits, pre-authorizations, high-ticket transactions, international cards and multiple currencies, and multi-location reporting.

  • Integrations

    Fizel works with a broad range of payment, POS, ecommerce, reservation, booking, accounting and industry-specific systems.

Our Vision

More than payments.

Fizel exists to build technology for the outdoor economy: the shops, guides, campgrounds, marinas and resorts that get people outside. Most software is built for restaurants and retail chains, then handed to businesses that run seasons, rentals, reservations and repairs.

Commerce is our foundation. The longer ambition is a set of modern tools that help these businesses operate with less friction, grow on their own terms, and strengthen the communities they belong to.

1% for the Outdoors

Protect what moves us.

Supporting outdoor businesses means supporting the places they depend on. Healthy trails, clean rivers, protected coastlines and vibrant communities are the infrastructure of this industry, so one percent of our revenue goes back to them. It's part of who we are, not a program bolted on the side.

  • Protect the places we play

    We support trail stewardship, conservation, habitat restoration, and public access projects that keep outdoor landscapes healthy and open.

  • Strengthen outdoor communities

    We help fund youth outdoor programs, volunteer organizations, local events, and community initiatives that introduce more people to the outdoors.

  • Written into how we operate

    One percent isn't a campaign or a line in a report. It's committed before profit, every year, in the regions where our customers work, because a business that rents kayaks needs a river worth paddling.
