Are Shaara Deals, BookingShaara, OrderFoodShaara and NZ GO Tours & Travel the same company?
No. They are four separate New Zealand-registered companies, Shaara Deals Limited, Booking Shaara Limited, Order Food Shaara Limited and NZ GO Tours and Travel Limited, that operate together as The Shaara Group. They share the same technology, the same team and the same way of doing business, and businesses on one platform are promoted across the others.
Where does The Shaara Group operate?
Across New Zealand. Our partner businesses are currently in Auckland, Rotorua, Tauranga, Taupō, Wellington, the Bay of Islands, Waikato, the Coromandel and across the South Island, from Queenstown and Wānaka to Kaikōura and Te Anau.
How do I book or buy on Shaara Deals?
Choose a deal, then either book a date and time online or buy a voucher to use later. You will receive a confirmation or a Shaara Deals voucher code by email, which the business checks and redeems when you visit.
Is it safe to pay online?
Yes. All online payments across the group are processed by Stripe, a PCI-DSS Level 1 certified payment provider, and we never store your full card details. Shaara Deals also accepts Apple Pay and Afterpay.
Can I get a refund?
Refunds are handled under each platform's Terms and Conditions. On Shaara Deals you can submit a refund request from your account, and store credit may be issued for unused vouchers. See the Terms and policies at the bottom of this page.
Does it cost anything to list my business?
No. Listing is free on Shaara Deals, BookingShaara and OrderFoodShaara. You only pay a low commission when you make a sale or booking through us.
How do I get paid?
Payments are processed by Stripe and paid directly to your business through Stripe Connect, with clear reports of every sale, commission and payout in your portal.
Which property systems does BookingShaara work with?
BookingShaara connects to 15 property management systems and 9 channel managers and booking engines, including Seekom, RMS, Cloudbeds, Little Hotelier, SiteMinder and Staah, so your rates and availability stay in sync automatically. The full list is in the BookingShaara integrations section above.
Is OrderFoodShaara only for restaurants?
No. It is built for restaurants, cafés, bars and takeaways, and suits any business that takes orders or bookings, from bakeries and grocers to salons, spas and retail stores. It includes online ordering, table bookings, delivery, a full point of sale and back-office tools.
What is NZ GO Tours & Travel?

It offers 140+ trip packages, each bundling a stay, two or more experiences and transport, plus custom trips planned around you, for overseas visitors and Kiwis alike.

Can NZ GO Tours & Travel build a custom trip?
Yes. As well as ready-made packages, NZ GO builds custom trips. Tell us where you want to go, when, who is travelling and what you enjoy, and we will plan a trip around you. Start at nzgotoursandtravel.com.
How do I book a trip with NZ GO and how does pricing work?
Choose a package or ask for a custom trip, then send an enquiry. Package prices on the site are estimates; vehicle hire, hotel bookings and other extras are arranged on request, and your written quote sets the final price. A deposit of at least 40% confirms your booking, and the balance is paid before your trip starts. NZ GO organises your trip, while the stays, tours and other services are provided by independent suppliers. Travel insurance is a condition of booking. Full details are in the NZ GO Booking Terms and Cancellation & Refunds Policy.
