This post explains how to connect to any partner program at Travelpayouts.                                                                                                  

To start working with affiliate programs and their tools on Travelpayouts, you first need to create a Project. 

A Project is your website, channel, app, or another resource where you plan to place brand tools.

How it works

1. You create a Project either during sign-up of later in your account.
2. Several scenarios are possible:
   • some programs and their tools become available right away
   • some programs require a Project review
   • some programs may be unavailable for your Project due to brand requirements and terms

In the My Programs section, you may see a notice that your Project has been received and is being reviewed.

Which programs become available right away and which require review

There are two types of programs on the platform:

• instant access — the program and its tools become available immediately;
• access after review — your Project is reviewed first to make sure it meets the program requirements.

If a program requires review, the timing depends on the brand. Usually, it takes a coupleof days.

How to tell that a program is already available

1. Go to My Programs section
2. Select needed Project at the top of the page
3. On the Available tab you will see all the programs that are already available for your Proejct.
   

This means you can start using their tools. 

How to tell which programs are still under review

Some programs do not become available right away. This depends on the specific brand’s rules.

In such cases, your Project is reviewed by the Travelpayouts team. We check whether it meets the brand requirements, program rules, and platform policies, and whether there are any violations on your website or channel.

If a program is still under review, a clock icon will appear next to the brand logo.

Why a program may be unavailable

Sometimes a Project does not get access to certain programs because it does not meet their requirements.

For example:

• the Project language or domain zone does not match the program requirements;
• the Project includes content types that are not allowed by Travelpayouts rules or the brand;
• the Project does not meet the program’s expectations in terms of topic, traffic quality, or design.

If any programs are unavailable, you will see this information in the My Programs section.

If the issue can be fixed, you can improve your Project and submit it for review again later. For more details, see the article about resubmitting a Project after rejection.

If new brand appears on the platform

1. Open the My programs page
2. On the top of the page select the Project that you want to connect to the new brand
3. Open the Others tab and click Unlock more programs
   

You can also:

1. Find needed brand in the Program catalog and click on it's card
   
2. On the top of the page select the Project that you want to connect to the new brand  and click Unlock more programs
   

If you have created you Project before April 27

In this case you still can instantly access all the programs in our catalog. There can be two ways to do this:

1. If your Project has not been previously declined by any programs

You can instantly access all available programs:

• Open the My Programs page in your Travelpayouts account
• Select your Project at the top of the page
• Click Unlock more programs
  

We will automatically connect you to all programs available for your Project and send requests to those that require review.

2. If your Project was previously declined by any programs

In this case:

1. Open the My Programs page in your Travelpayouts account
2. Select your Project at the top of the page
3. Open the Others tab and click Request review
   

We will automatically and instantly connect you to all programs that available for your Project and send requests to the ones that require review.

Can you disconnect from a program?

No, you can't. If it has become available for your Project, it cannot be removed from the list manually.

Please note:

• your account includes filters and other navigation tools that help you quickly find the programs you need;
• you can pin favorite programs to the top of the list;
  
• you do not need to work with all programs at once — you can use only the ones that fit your Project and your current goals, and filters in the Tools section can help with that too.

If you use Drive and do not want link replacement to work with certain brands, you can change this yourself in just a few clicks. Open your Drive settings and exclude the brands you do not want from link replacement.
