Commission from Affiliate Programs on Travelpayouts
- Variable rates, depending on each program. Travelpayouts operates as a partnership platform, meaning commission rates differ per partner (like Booking.com, WayAway, Omio, KiwiTaxi, etc.).
- For example:
- Omio (train): 6% commission; 30-day cookie lifetime.
- Rail Europe: Up to 1.8% commission; 30-day cookie.
- Trainline: Up to 3% commission; 30-day cookie in one listing, but up to 1–27% in another.
- KiwiTaxi (airport transfer): 50% commission; 30-day cookie.
- Holiday Taxis: 10% commission; 30-day cookie-
- GetTransfer: 7% commission; 30-day cookie.
- Commission calculations: Your earnings are based on Travelpayouts’ share of revenue from each booking or transaction—not the full sale price—and may vary depending on tools used (like Booking Booster or Link Switcher). They can reduce your commission—sometimes by up to half—but not below 30% of the base rate.
- Precise rates for each program are accessible in your Travelpayouts dashboard under the Programs catalog → Performance tab once you join a program.
Referral (Partner Recruitment) Commission
Beyond your direct earnings as an affiliate, you can earn additional passive income by referring new affiliates to Travelpayouts:
- You receive 7% of the earnings made by your referrals (i.e., partners who sign up via your referral link) from all affiliate programs.
- This reward lasts for 2 years from their initial registration.
- Importantly, this commission is paid from Travelpayouts’ share—it does not reduce anything your referrals earn.
