This post explains why you need Projects as well as how to add and manage them.                                                                                                                              

A Project in Travelpayouts is a channel you use to promote travel brands and earn through affiliate programs.

Projects help understand your traffic source and check whether it meets brand’s terms and conditions.

What counts as a Project?

A Project can be any traffic source you own, for example:

• A website or blog
• A social media account (e.g., Instagram, YouTube)
• An email newsletter
• Paid ads or media buying
• Promo code distribution
• A travel agency website

One Project = one channel.
If you use multiple channels (e.g., a website and Instagram), create a separate Project for each.

How to create a Project

When you sign up for Travelpayouts, your first Project is created automatically based on your onboarding data.

Here’s how to create additional Projects:

1. Open your Travelpayouts account
2. Click the three dots in the bottom-left corner → My Projects.
   
3. Сlick Create Project.
   
4. Select your channel type (e.g., Website, Instagram)
   

One Project = one channel

This means that if you have a website and an Instagram account, you will need to create two separate Projects, one for each channel. We do this because some brands have strict rules regarding channels. By ensuring that each project contains only one channel, we make the process easier to check and approve.

5. Add the URL and click Next.
   • Some Project types don’t require a URL — in this case, you can skip this step
   • Make sure to enter a valid URL (it can’t be edited later after connecting to programs)
6. Choose the category that best describes your channel. For example:
   • if you have your own blog through which you promote travel services, you can select the first option — Content. 
   • If you own a travel agency with a website, you can choose Travel business.
   • You can learn more about Project types and choose the one that fits you best in the Project types article.
7. Give your Project a name, select the language of the content, and click Next.

Done! Your Project will be automatically connected to all available travel brands on the platform.

How to delete a Project

If you no longer use a Project, you can archive it:

1. Open the Project settings
2. Click Archive
   

The Project will be hidden from your account and statistics.
