On June 14th we held a webinar “Travelpayouts’ tools and offers review”. On this page we have collected answers to all questions from the webinar. If you want to see recording, please use this link.

Ivan Petrov: Does Each Affiliate ID Can Promote Both Flights and Hotels?

Yes, each affiliate ID (marker) is the same both for flights and hotels. Moreover, with your ID you can promote offers (car rentals, tour activities and more), and your ID is the same for all products.

Alice: Which Tool Is the Best and the Most Effective?

There is no answer, which will fit for all. It depends on the project and type of the traffic you have. We recommend to make a test, and find the best option for you through the testing. From the practice in general text links and search forms are one of the most effective tools.

Ivan Petrov: Can We Promote via Facebook Ads (Other Affiliate Programs Do Not Allow)?

Yes, we have options which allow promotion via Facebook ads. Allowable traffic types for flight and hotels are available in our knowledgebase. Please pay attention, that every offer has own requirements. You can find them on the description page of each offer.

Ivan Petrov: Do You Pay For Leads or Just for Conversions?

Travelpayouts is CPA affiliate network. What means, we pay for action. In most of the cases action is a sale – sale of ticket, hotel and so on. We also include offers (car rental, tour activities, event tickets and so on), each program has its own rules, and action definition could vary. Please pay attention to the full description of the offer you are interested in, to understand for what you will be paid.

Mark: Can We Have, Say, Our Own Header and Footer With the Hotel Search in Between? Can See More Examples of White Label Integrations?

Yes, you can make your own header and footer with the White Label. You can see the demo on http://whitelabel.travelpayouts.com.

Frank: Localization Does Not Always Work Properly…if I Choose Default Currency of CHF, Then User Will End up on a Us Travel Agency Transacing Only in Us$

We support CHF on White Label and other tools, but sometimes user see the final results (on the Agencies’ pages) in another currency. It happens, usually, in case when agency with US$ provide the better offer, than any other. We try to work with the local agencies, but their prices in, for example CHF, not always best one.

Aviasales and Hotellook are available in UK, and support GBP. We are working worldwide, and accept affiliates from any country.

Some agencies don’t support markers. In this case we can’t determine whose booking it is and pay commission. We switch off such agencies for our affiliates. That’s why the set of agencies on Aviasales and White Label differs.

With Travelpayout Widgets, I Only Get Uniformity With Flights & Hotel. I Now Have to Go Outside Travelpayouts to Offer All Travel Referrals.

It’s possible to change color scheme in some offers. They’re Russian mostly. We plan to work on this subject in the future.

Joseph: What About Issues With Partners Committing Fraud or Scam With Our Referrals (As Seen on App Review)?

Sorry, your question is not clear, please contact us we will do our best to solve the issues.

If we understand you correctly, you are speaking about the  commision and our way to count it. We pay to the last affiliate who attracts the buyer. For example, if you attract the visitor, and he/she did not buy anything, and than in 2 weeks later some other affiliate attracts the same visitor and this time the visor made a purchase, the commission will be paid for the affiliate, who attracted the visitor as the last. It works the same way for you – your sales could be done by visitors who before you attract them were attracted by some other affiliate.
