If you already have a site with tourist audience, you are sure to write about places of interest and travel industry news, or to review sports equipment and spots, why not monetize your project? You can tell your readers how to easily reach those most interesting places mentioned in your article. Just suggest a link to a specific direction or hotel and get commission from Travelpayouts for your recommendation.

Quick start

Well, I’ve got to tell it like it is.

Travelpayouts Affiliate Program Registration

First, go to travelpayouts.com and click «Registration» in the upper right corner. Just enter your email and password. Then you should follow the link in the email to activate your personal account.
The first thing you’ll notice is a pop-up window with types of partners, i.e. the reason you’ve decided to join the affiliate network Travelpayouts. By selecting your objective correctly, you will get an opportunity to receive individual advice on work, and help us develop some necessary tools for you.

Travelpayouts Welcome Screen

If you choose «to monetize your travel content project», then you will see a list of various tools (links, widgets, maps, forms, banners). But we’ll speak about each of them separately.

Travelpayouts Travel Content Project

Where can I find my ID?

Hurrah, you are in your personal account!

Travelpayouts Dashboard Marker

The most important data is located in the upper right corner: your email, ID (5 digits) and the amount of unpaid income. Of course, at the stage of registration, it’s zero. 🙂 ID (marker) is the information attached to the link to let us know that you’ve provided the customer.

How much will I earn from sales of one ticket or hotel booking?

You can earn up to 20% commission from each sold flight, excursion, booked hotel, car, or other travel service. Commission percent depends on partner programs’ terms.

Try our tools

Tools are first and foremost. You have to work with them while writing an article. So let’s go through each tool.

instrument Text links

To create the tickets search link, go to the page «Text links». By default, you already have the Aviasales homepage link. At this point, you can change the link text, for example, write «Cheap air tickets to every corner of the world», or change the language and tick off «open in a new window» (to protect a reader from closing your article accidentally).

Travelpayouts Text Links Settings

In addition, you can also create links to a specific route and map. To do this, you should enter the city of departure and arrival.

tp_route

The same is with hotels. By default, you have the Hotellook homepage link. To share the link to the specific hotel or city with the reader, you should open «Advanced settings», write a geographical name in the «City/Hotel» section and select the one from the drop-down list. Done! The link in the first line of «Your URL» is waiting for you. Now you can copy the ready-made link from the first line and paste it into the text of the article.

instrument Search form

This is a form constructor for independent customization. It is better to place it at the end of the article.

travelpayouts_search_form

Here you can adapt your site’s design: change the color of the form, round its corners, and adjust the width. In addition to design, you can choose what you’d like to display in the form: only air tickets, only hotels or air tickets + hotels. We advise you to enable the block of «best deals», that is a creeping line under the form with low prices.

travelpayoyts_form_design_settings

You can specify additional information in the form: cities and dates of departure and arrival, the city or the hotel and dates of arrival and departure, language, as well as currency.

instrumentMap widget

Map widget is an interactive map with the scheme of flights from the city specified in settings. If the city is not specified, then the widget will try to identify the user’s location and display it on the map.

tp_map

The following features can be set in the widget: the city of departure, language and «show only direct flights» The ready-made code should be copied and placed on the page.

instrument Hotels map
