Terms still being finalised
  • Is commission calculated on gross sales value, net of tax, or net of payment fees?
  • How long does a referral stay attributed, and which chain wins on overlap?
  • Are partners allowed to earn on their own purchases?

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.

  • A hotel receptionist handing a guest a phone showing a travel guide

    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.

  • An airline passenger reading a destination guide on a phone in a window seat

    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.

  • A passenger in the back of a premium airport transfer car at night

    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.

  • A tour guide leading travellers through a historic old town at golden hour

    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.

  • A travel advisor showing a couple a tablet across a desk

    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.

How it works

  1. 01

    Create your affiliate account

    Register with your business details. There is no participation fee, no wholesale purchase and no subscription.

  2. 02

    Choose the products you want to promote

    Pick from the live YouGuide catalogue — travel guides, language guides and eSIM plans.

  3. 03

    Share your tracked links

    Put them on your website, social channels, newsletters, or send them straight to your audience.

  4. 04

    Monitor attributed sales and earnings

    Commission is earned on confirmed paid orders attributed to your links — not on clicks.

What your account does today

Registration is live: your account and affiliate role are created immediately. The affiliate dashboard — product links, campaigns, sales and commission reporting, and payouts — is being built next, so there is nothing to show there yet. We would rather tell you that than show you an empty dashboard with invented numbers in it.

Live today

  • Create a partner account free, in minutes, with no card.
  • See the exact commission rates, published from our own engine.
  • Sign in to your partner dashboard.
  • Talk to us about volume, bundles or a deeper integration.

Coming next

  • Tracked links and QR codes that attribute a sale to you.
  • Live sales and commission reporting in your dashboard.
  • Automated payouts once the payout terms are finalised.

We list this openly because a partner programme that promises earnings it cannot yet pay is worth nothing. Registration and the rates are real now; attribution and payouts are being built.

Terms still being finalised

The commissionable sales base, attribution window, self-referral policy, approval period and payout schedule are not finalised. The commission rates above are fixed and will not change, but no commission is approved or paid until those terms are confirmed.
