Learn how to create partner links to certain pages of travel brands’ websites.                          

At Travelpayouts, you can create an affiliate link to any page of a travel brand’s website (so-called deep link). This way you can direct your audience to a specific flight, hotel or other product offered by this brand. This type of link increases the chance of bookings.

Note! To create an affiliate link, you must be connected to an affiliate program. 

1. Open a program's page and navigate to the Tools tab.

2. Click the Links section. The link creation form is located at the top of the page.

Note! There is a limited number of programs that don’t support link creation. For these programs, you can only use ready-made links.

3. Go to the travel brand's website, open any needed page (for example a page with search results for a required destination), copy the link of the page, and paste it into the Target URL field. 

4. If more than one Project is connected to the program, you can select the needed one in the My Project drop-down list.

5. You can optionally specify SubID.

6. The deep link will be generated automatically in the Link field.

7. Copy the link and paste it on your website.

If you would like to work with long links, just click the Show full link switch. The generator will display a long URL with all technical parameters.

Note! There is a limit of creating 50 short affiliate links per hour. If the limit is exceeded, you will see a warning. In this case, you can get back to creating affiliate links in 1 hour.

How to make sure that a short affiliate link contains your ID
