How you actually earn
You do not need a website. Put your link anywhere someone already listens to you — a page, a profile, or a printed card — and every sale that follows is attributed to you.

Built for travel businesses that already have the customer
You do not need an audience or a marketing budget. You need people who are about to travel — and you already have them.
Hotel
Every check-in is a sale
Offer the city guide at reception, in the confirmation email, or on the in-room QR code. Guests who already asked you for restaurant tips buy it themselves.
Airline
Sell the destination, not just the seat
Add a destination guide to booking confirmation, check-in reminders, or the seat-back screen. The passenger already knows where they are going.
Taxi & transfers
Turn the airport run into revenue
A card on the seat back or a QR sticker on the window. The ride from the airport is the moment a traveller most wants to know the city.
Tours & activities
Your guests already trust your advice
Recommend the full guide at the end of your tour. It is the natural upsell to people who just paid to learn about the place.
Travel agency
Add margin to every booking
Bundle a guide and a phrasebook with the trip you just sold. It costs you nothing to stock and nothing to ship.
Nothing to build. Nothing to buy. Nothing to ship.
The products are already made, hosted and delivered by YouGuide. You are adding a digital product to a customer relationship you already have.
What we do not ask of you
No upfront cost, no monthly fee and no minimum volume.
No stock to hold
No stock, no printing and no delivery — every product is digital.
No development needed
No development work: start with a link, add a deeper integration later if you want one.
No exclusivity
No exclusivity, so this sits alongside whatever else you sell.

What your account does today
Registration is live and your affiliate role is created immediately. Your dashboard works today: tracked links and QR codes, widgets, a shareable storefront, campaigns, and click, sales and commission reporting. Commission accrues automatically on paid orders and becomes a statement once your balance passes the payout threshold. Only the final bank transfer is still made by hand.

The commercial terms, agreed
- What commission is calculated on: On what the customer actually paid, net of coupons and discounts.
- How long a referral stays yours: 30 days from the click; on overlap the most recent click wins.
- Earning on your own purchases: No. A purchase made by the partner's own account email earns nothing.
Your commission rates are fixed and will not change. Commission accrues automatically on paid orders under the terms above.
