Payment Policy
Effective Date: March 10, 2026
At Flyshot Outfitters, we believe your time on the water should be seamless and free of logistical distractions. To ensure your trip is fully secured and our guides can prepare for a premium day on the river, we adhere to a straightforward payment structure.
1. Securing Your Dates
100% Upfront Payment: Payment in full is required at the time of booking to officially reserve your guide and secure your dates on our calendar.
Tentative Holds: We do not hold dates without payment. A date is only considered booked once your invoice is paid in full.
2. Accepted Payment Methods We utilize Square as our secure invoicing and payment processing partner. We accept the following forms of payment:
ACH / Bank Transfer (Preferred): Secure bank transfers can be completed directly through the digital invoice sent to your email.
Checks (Preferred): Personal or cashier’s checks are welcome. Please contact us for mailing instructions if you prefer this method. Your dates will be officially secured upon receipt and clearance of the check.
Credit Cards: We accept all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover) via our secure Square digital invoices.
3. Transparent "All-In" Pricing & Processing Fees We value transparency and a frictionless experience. The daily rate you see is the rate you pay.
No Credit Card Surcharges on Completed Trips: Flyshot Outfitters LLC does not charge additional processing fees or hidden surcharges for using a credit card. We absorb these operational costs to ensure your booking process is seamless.
Refunded Transactions: Please note that third-party payment processors (like Square) do not refund transaction fees to merchants. Therefore, if you cancel your trip outside of our 30-day window and request a refund, a 4% administrative fee will be deducted from your refunded amount to cover these unrecovered credit card processing costs. This fee is completely waived if your original payment was made via ACH bank transfer or check.
4. Guide Gratuities Please note that your upfront booking payment covers the outfitter and guide day rate, tackle, lunches, and non-alcoholic beverages. It does not include guide gratuity. Gratuities are customary in the fly fishing industry and are a direct reflection of your guide’s hard work, patience, and instruction.
Cash is preferred and can be handed directly to your guide at the end of the day.
Alternative Direct Payments: While many of our independent contractor guides accept personal checks or digital app payments (like Venmo or Zelle), this varies by individual.
Credit Card Gratuities: If you prefer to tip via credit card, simply let us know. Flyshot Outfitters can easily process the gratuity via a Square invoice or charge a card on file. We will ensure 100% of that tip is added directly to your guide’s wage payout for the trip.
5. Cancellations and Refunds All paid bookings are subject to our formal Cancellation Policy. Because your payment secures a specific guide for a specific date—turning away other potential clients—we enforce a strict 30-day nonrefundable window to protect our hardworking independent contractor guides. Please review our Cancellation Policy page for full details.
