Yes, customers can typically make changes through a mobile app after payment, but what they can change depends on how your system is set up and what the supplier allows. Most travel booking platforms let customers view their booking details on their phone and request changes like date adjustments, room upgrades, or activity modifications. The app can send these requests to your team or directly to the supplier, depending on your configuration. However, some changes may not be possible through the app alone, especially if they involve complex rebooking or if the supplier has strict amendment policies.
The key limitation is that not every change can happen instantly on a mobile app the way it might on a website where you have more screen space and options. For example, a customer might be able to request a date change, but the system may need your team to process it and confirm availability rather than doing it automatically. If a supplier charges amendment fees or has blackout dates where changes are not allowed, the app will show those restrictions, but your team still needs to handle the actual rebooking and payment processing.
You should check with your system provider about which specific changes customers can make through the app versus which ones require your team to step in. It also matters whether your suppliers expose their amendment rules to your booking system, since some do and some do not. Ask your provider to show you exactly what the customer experience looks like when they try to modify a booking on their phone so you know what to tell customers about what is possible.
