Yatra – Travel Booking & Tour Management

✈️ Yatra is a WordPress plugin built for tour operators, activity providers, and travel brands that need real trip inventory—not a generic shop. The free version includes a full booking office: trips, availability, checkout, customer records, and essential emails. Yatra Pro unlocks premium payment methods and a suite of Pro modules you can turn on as your business grows.

✈️ Why teams pick Yatra

• 🗺️ Travel-first data model — Departures, capacity, traveler types, and itineraries match how tours are actually sold.
• 🧭 One admin workspace — Modern Yatra dashboard inside wp-admin; less tab-hopping than bolting travel onto a generic commerce stack.
• ⚖️ Honest Free vs Pro — Core booking, CRM-style records, reviews, and PayPal / Pay Later are in the free plugin. Card gateways and advanced modules are in Pro—no surprise paywalls on basics like “save a trip” (saved trips / wishlist are a Pro feature when enabled in settings).
• 🔒 Your site, your data — Bookings and customer data stay in your WordPress database; payments go through the gateways you configure.

🧩 Blocks and shortcodes

Use the block editor or classic shortcodes to drop catalog widgets, search, and account UI into any page.

Blocks (search the inserter for “Yatra” or the block name):

• Tour — block name yatra/tour (trip grid; same data options as the [yatra_trip] shortcode).
• Activity — yatra/activity.
• Destination — yatra/destination.

Shortcodes (attributes shown are the main filters; all accept string values as in the plugin defaults—use yes / no or 0 / 1 where noted):

• [yatra_trip] — Trip listing. Alias: [yatra_tour] (same output; kept for backward compatibility). Useful attributes include order (asc or desc), featured (0 or 1), per_page, category, destination, activity, difficulty, price_min, price_max, duration_min, duration_max, search, columns, show_pagination (yes or no), title. Example: [yatra_trip featured="1" per_page="6" columns="3"]
• [yatra_activity] — Activity archive-style listing. Attributes include order, per_page, columns, activity (slug or comma-separated slugs), show_trip_count, show_description, show_image, show_pagination, hide_empty (yes or no), title.
• [yatra_destination] — Destination showcase. Attributes include order, per_page, columns, destination (slug or comma-separated slugs), show_trip_count, show_description, show_image, show_pagination, hide_empty, featured_only (yes or no), title.
• [yatra_search] — Advanced tour search form. Toggle parts with show_filters, show_categories, show_destinations, show_activities, show_price_range, show_duration, show_difficulty (yes or no), plus placeholder and button_text.
• [yatra_login] — Customer login form. Attributes include show_register, show_forgot_password, remember_me (yes or no), redirect_url, title, subtitle.
• [yatra_my_account] — Account dashboard for logged-in users (same React experience as the virtual account URL). Legacy attributes are accepted for backward compatibility but do not change the 3.x UI.
• [yatra_discount_and_deals] — Discounted trips. Attributes include order, per_page, columns, discount_type (all, percentage, fixed, or group), min_discount, max_discount, category, destination, show_original_price, show_percentage, show_time_left, show_pagination, show_filters, title.

Note: Older Yatra 2.x docs sometimes mentioned [yatra_cart], [yatra_checkout], or [yatra_mini_cart]. Those shortcodes are not registered in Yatra 3.x—checkout and booking flow use the plugin’s front-end routes and templates instead. See docs.wpyatra.com for URLs and page setup.
