Affiliate program for your properties managed by Escapia

Do you want to increase your bookings without spending on advertising? Use our affiliate program for properties hosted on Escapia.

High-traffic websites are looking for ways to monetize their volume. They will place affiliate links and forms on their sites and show your properties to their visitors. Some visitors will be interested and make a reservation.

The additional bookings you gain through the affiliate sites will cost you nothing, because the renter pays the extra 10% that goes to the affiliates. You are creating an opportunity for affiliates to earn extra money by promoting your links and forms, and for you gain additional bookings.

How it works:

1. Add just one template with the cost of 10% of the rent price to your Escapia account. Distribute your properties to our server.
2. a. We will add your properties to our https://VacationRentals.website. We are promoting this site and you can get reservations from it.
   
   b. We will create a search form or link for you like this:

   Link sample: https://vacationrentals.website/#ag_id=3&a_id=2
   ag_id=3 - your agency id
   a_id=2 - affiliate ID
   
   
3. Your affiliates will post this form on their websites. Ask your friends and local website owners if they would like to display your form on their website as a way for them to generate additional income.
   
   
4. Visitors who clicked through this form will see your properties. A 10% markup will be applied. The renter will pay 10% more than if they did it on your regular website.
   
   
5. When the renter completes the booking process, the reservation will be saved in your Escapia account, and you can work with it as with any other reservation.
   
   
6. After the guest has complete his stay, you will pay 7% to your partner and 3% to us for the support of the platform. Total 10%, as in the template.
