In this article, we’ll cover the different project types you can connect to in Travelpayouts.

A Project represents a platform that partners can use to promote the brands using Travelpayouts. 

Each partner’s Project is assigned a category based on the channel (e.g., content platforms and websites) they use. The category your Project falls under helps brands understand where and how you plan to implement partner tools, making it easier for brands to accept you into their programs.

Below we provide detailed explanations for each Project category:

Content

You are a content creator who regularly publishes original content where affiliate tools can be integrated naturally.

Your project can be a website, blogs, apps, social media pages, channel on a video platform or messaging app, newsletters, or another type of platform, as long as the content allows for partner tool integration.  

Brands requiring approval must see that your Project delivers travel content and is updated regularly. This means that Projects that only partially relate to travel (maybe they only have a small section dedicated to the subject) may be rejected by a program. 

Important! If your website only includes widgets or travel content that is either unoriginal or not updated regularly, your Project may be rejected. 

Travel business

This category is for people or companies who help travelers book travel services via partner links.

For example, you may plan and book trips for your clients, arrange business travel for your company’s employees, run an offline office where you sell tickets and other travel services to customers, and so on.

These projects can use websites, email newsletters, apps, social media pages, channels on video platforms or messaging apps, or other platforms as their resources.

Cashback service

This category is for those who offer cashback or bonus programs that refund users a percentage of the sum spent on travel purchases. This type of Project might include websites, apps, messengers, newsletters, or social media channels.  

Coupons or promo codes service

This category is for those who post and share coupons and promo codes for travel services. This type of Project might include websites, apps, messengers, newsletters, or social media channels.

Newsletter

This project type is suitable for individuals or businesses that send regular email communications to a list of subscribers. These newsletters often include updates, promotions, and valuable content related to a specific topic or brand. Note that simply sending transactional emails is not considered a newsletter.

Please note that partner programs that require a brand’s approval may have their own requirements for Projects. For example, some programs might not accept coupons:
