Case Study: GetMyBoat achieves scalable, next-day payouts with Dwolla

Scaling a Boat Rental Marketplace With Swift Payouts

GetMyBoat, a global boat-rental marketplace with more than 130,000 listings across over 180 countries, needed a fast, scalable way to pay U.S. boat owners as transactions and listings surged. To avoid building and maintaining in-house payment infrastructure, GetMyBoat chose Dwolla and its ACH payment API (Payment Flow: Send — Next Day) to handle payouts.

Dwolla’s easy-to-integrate ACH solution (implemented in 2016), along with a dashboard and dedicated support, enabled next-day payouts and a consistent, low-effort payment process whether paying one person or 1,000. The Dwolla integration saved engineering hours, simplified operations, and supported GetMyBoat’s rapid expansion — listings have grown roughly 200% since the integration.
