      Product and Design Development<\/h2>\n

      Design<\/h3>\nThis summer we updated our logo and colors in the dashboard:\n\n
      \n
      \"Logo\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure><\/div>\n

      White Label<\/h3>\n
        \n \t
      1. We have improved the rankings of search results on White Label<\/a>. If tickets have the same price, the top search results would be most conversionable.<\/li>\n \t
      2. We have added baggage information to White Label.<\/li>\n \t
      3. We have prepared for GDPR by implementing content-page functionality (terms, privacy, cookies) on the White Label.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Localization<\/h3>\nIn March 2018, we finished a service \u00abPolyglot\u00bb, which helps to translate widgets into different languages and also changes the currencies in them.\n\nNow all our widgets, and White Label, support 76 world currencies and 59 languages, including RTL languages: Arabic, Hebrew and Farsi.\n

        Widgets<\/h3>\nWith the developed in-house widget constructor tool, we can now quickly create widgets for new affiliate programs. For example, this year, we added the Booking.com affiliate program<\/a> to the Travelpayouts network and have created unique widget:\n

        Financial Transaction System<\/h3>\nWe\u2019ve finished the development of our financial transaction system. Next year, you will see the improvements. The financial statistic will be more clear. For example, if the hotel\u2019s booking was completed six months ago and confirmed only this month, the affiliate will see this in their monthly statistics.\n\nWe also started to maintain the Changelog. That is where you can follow all changes and corrections in real time. It\u2019s available via the link<\/a> or in your account:\n\n

        How Did We Help Affiliates Earn More<\/h2>\n

        Powered By<\/h3>\nWe have launched the Powered by feature<\/a>, which allows you to quickly and easily attract referrals and earn extra income. We are paying 5% of our income that was generated by your referral, and we pay all referrals at the expense of Travelpayouts. This means that the involved partner\u2019s earnings do not decrease in any way.\n

        Increased Commision<\/h3>\nIn June, we started a campaign with flight tickets to Kazakhstan<\/a>. Until the end of December, you could get a double commission for flight tickets to\/from Kazakhstan and for domestic flights.\n

        Education<\/h3>\nWe held several webinars:\n
          \n \t
        1. About Travelpayouts\u2019 offers and tools for new affiliates<\/a>;<\/li>\n \t
        2. Join travel\u2019s megatrend: Offer tours and activities<\/a>;<\/li>\n \t
        3. From zero to hero: How to gain $25,000 on car rentals<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nOur colleagues from the Go Mobile held a webinar \u00abMobile Marketing: Common Webmasters Mistakes\u00bb. It was in Russian, but next month we will hold the same webinar in English. Stay tuned!\n

          \u0421Onferences That We Attended in 2018<\/h2>\nThroughout the year, we have joined conferences all over the world, met with our affiliates and helped them to earn more with Travelpayouts.\n\nIn July, they attended the Affiliate World Europe in Barcelona<\/a> and the Affiliate Summit East in New York<\/a>. Tanya Buyanova \u2014 business development manager, spoke at the Shecommerce women’s section of Affiliate World Europe<\/a>, with a report on how to start a business in the travel industry:\n\n\n
          \"Shecommerce\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\nIn October and November, we attended five conferences<\/a>: WiT and ITB Asia (Singapore), World Travel Market (London) and Phocuswright (Los Angeles).\n\nIn 2019, we will start in Las Vegas at the Affiliate Summit West<\/a>.\u00a0We would love to meet with every current and new affiliate at Affiliate Summit West 2019.

          Travelpayouts Affiliate Summit 2018<\/h2>\nOn September 29, we held the Travelpayouts Affiliate Summit<\/a>.
