FAQs
What is a travel affiliate program?
A travel affiliate program allows you to earn money by sharing travel-related products and services.
Here's how it usually works: When customers make bookings or purchases based on your recommendations, you receive a commission once the transactions are completed. It's an easy way to generate income, whether you're passionate about travel or simply looking for additional revenue streams.
How much can I earn as a Viator Affiliate?
Viator Affiliates earn 8% commission on any experience booked within 30 days. When a user clicks your link, they're "cookied," which means you earn commission on any experience they book within that 30-day window, but you'll receive the commission once the experience has been completed.
As your traffic and conversions grow, so do your earnings. The more you share, the more you earn!
How do I earn commission through Viator Shop?
You’ll earn 8% commission any time one of your followers (or potential followers) books an experience through your unique Viator Shop tracking link. So if the cost of an experience is $300 USD, you’ll earn $24 USD as your commission so long as the booking isn’t canceled.
Click “create a link” from your Viator Shop to create your tracking link to share on your social media channels.
What will my followers see when they visit my Viator Shop?
Depending on where in your Viator Shop you’re linking to, your followers (and potential followers) will see different recommendations.
- Shop Home Page: If you link here, your followers will see all of the Collections of recommendations you’ve organized as clickable tiles, and can choose which they’d like to explore.
- Collections Page: If you link here, your followers will see all of your recommendations within a specific Collection. This could be a trip itinerary, bucket list inspiration, or any other creative theme you can think of.
- Experience Page: If you link here, your followers will be able to get information on a specific recommendation, and book it directly if they’re ready to.
