How to confirm that you own a website

If you want to monetize your website with Travelpayouts affiliate tools, you’ll need to confirm that you actually own the site. Verification is a standard and safe procedure — it only takes a minute and won’t affect your site’s performance or appearance.

In this article, we’ll explain why verification is needed, how to get your verification code depending on your situation, and how to add it to your site.

Why verify your website?

Verifying your website confirms that you own it and gives you full access to Travelpayouts features, including:

  • Advanced tools such as AI tool Drive, APIs and White Labels

  • Extended analytics and statistics for each page of your site

  • Extra features, support, and onboarding help from our team

How to confirm ownership

  1. In your Travelpayouts account, go to Tools.

  2. Select the Project with the website that you need to verify and open Drive tab.

  3. Click Unlock Drive to proceed.
  4. Choose your installation method and install small code on your website to verify it. Use the following article: How to install Drive on your website

Does it affect your website

No. The code:

  • Does not track your visitors
  • Does not change how your site looks or behaves
  • Loads asynchronously (won’t slow down your page)
  • Works independently without interfering with other scripts installed on your website

It’s purely to check that you own the domain you provided.
