✨ What is the Creator Storefront?
Think of it as your curated travel shop! Your storefront showcases your favorite tours and activities — handpicked experiences you truly believe in. Share your recommendations with followers and earn a commission for every booking made through your link.
Check out the following slides for a complete step-by-step guide!
2-Factor Authentication
Before diving into your Storefront, it's crucial to secure your account with Two-Factor Authentication (2FA). This mandatory step adds an extra layer of security to keep your account safe. Here's how you can set it up:
- Google authenticator app (🎉 We highly recommend this option for its reliability and ease of use)
- Authenticator browser extension
- SMS through your mobile phone: (While this option is quick and straightforward, be aware that you might face verification issues when traveling or changing your phone number.)
For more details, please check the guide: Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) It's your go-to resource for all things security!
Set Up Your Storefront🛠️
- Go to the Opportunities section of your partner portal (look for the pink banner).
- Click on "Create Storefront"
- Head to the Tool section (the red dot indicates your storefront is live 🔴).
Here you will find the overview of your storefront collections
- Add your social media name so your followers can easily recognize you.
- Introduce yourself — let visitors know why they should trust your recommendations.
- Add experiences you love in two ways:
- Simply search for a name, destination, or type.
- Head over to getyourguide.com, copy the URL of the activity you chose, and paste it here.
Your storefront is automatically published and ready to go! Just click on "See How It Looks" to preview it. Share the URL wherever you want!🎉
Need to make some changes?
Super easy! Just update your name or description, and it'll instantly refresh on your live Storefront. Want to switch up your experiences? Hit the bucket icon to remove any you don't want, then add fresh ones to showcase.
Which Experiences Can I Add to My Storefront? 🏝️
You can add any GetYourGuide Experience you like! Our recommendation is to:
- Keep it simple — too many options can overwhelm your followers. 🌀
- Match what you show in your reels and posts so followers recognize your recommendations. 📸
All experiences will be sorted per destination. Every experience you add to your Storefront will automatically be added to a destination category.
For instance, if you add multiple Paris recommendations, they’ll be sorted in one section in your Storefront. Plus, every experience you add is automatically an affiliate link, so no need to create them separately!
Where Do I Share My Storefront? 📣
You can share your storefront link pretty much anywhere! Here are some ideas:
-
Social Media: Pair it with your Sponsored Experience Reels for maximum impact! Drop it in:
Stories — perfect for a quick swipe-up!
DMs — ask followers to comment on the Reel to get the link 💬
Link in Bio or Linktree — the easiest way to keep it accessible 🔗
Video descriptions — for platforms with clickable links like YouTube 🎥
Add it to your travel posts for an easy way for readers to book the same experiences you're raving about. - Website: Feature it on your homepage or create a dedicated "Book My Favorite Experiences" section where fans can follow in your footsteps.
- Email newsletters, podcast show notes, or even share it directly with friends and family planning trips to destinations you've covered.
Want to Share Just One Collection? 🎯
Hit the three dots, grab that specific link, and send only your Paris recommendations (instead of your entire Storefront). This is super handy for targeted sharing!
How Do I Earn and Get Paid? 💰
Every time someone books an experience from your Storefront, you earn an affiliate commission:
- Example: If your rate is 8% and the average booking is $150, you earn $12 for one sale. With 10 bookings, that’s $120 in your pocket!
- We total up your earnings every month and pay you via PayPal or bank transfer.
- You can see your progress in the Analytics section in your Partner Portal.
What You Need to Know About Payments:
- Payment Threshold: If you’re using a bank transfer, you'll need to earn at least €50 before receiving payment. No worries — this is totally doable! PayPal payments don't have this minimum threshold.
- Payment Schedule: Payments happen monthly. It takes 3-7 business days after these dates for payment confirmations to appear. Payment depends on travel dates — you get paid after tours are completed. 📅
Payments set-up 💸
Now that your account is secure, let's get you ready to receive payments (since these won't come through the Lumanu app like other promotions). It's super important to enter all your personal and payment details accurately. Here's what you need to do:
-
Account details:
- Name and Surname: Make sure it's spelled just right!
- Full Personal Address: Include everything—street, city, and zip code.
- Phone Number: Enter it with the country code and no spaces (e.g., +12345678900 for the USA, +441234567890 for the UK).
-
Payment details:
- Choose Your Method: Pick between PayPal or bank transfer. Start by entering the country of your bank.
- PayPal: Just pop in your email address—easy!
