How to increase revenue per booking without raising ticket fees

Short answer: to earn more per booking without raising fees, monetize the moments after payment — the confirmation page, the ticket email and the reminder before the trip. A gift block offers eSIM, VPN, music and other trials that fit the trip or event, and the platform earns a CPA payout per confirmed action. Ticket prices and checkout stay the same, and the setup takes about an hour.

Key takeaways

Service fees are visible and compared, so raising them costs bookings.
The ticket email is opened several times before the event.
Travellers need eSIM, VPN and language apps — exactly what gifts offer.
You earn per confirmed action, not per impression.
No customer data leaves your system.

Three moments to monetize after the booking

Moment	Format	Why it works
Confirmation page	Gift block under the order	Peak attention right after payment
Ticket email	“Your gift for the trip” button	Opened several times
Reminder before the trip	Gift link in the reminder	The customer is preparing

Gifts that fit trips and events

Flights and trains: eSIM data, VPN for public Wi-Fi, language apps.
Hotels and tours: eSIM, streaming for the evening, city guides.
Concerts and festivals: music streaming trials.
Cinema and theatre: video streaming and audiobooks.

How much you can earn: a worked example

Formula: bookings per month × share of users who open the gifts × share who complete a confirmed action × your average payout per action. With the current offer mix the average payout to a partner is about $8 per confirmed action.

Illustrative example for 30,000 bookings a month. It is a planning model, not a forecast: real rates depend on your audience, countries and placement.

Scenario	Open the gifts	Confirmed action	Actions per month	Your income per month
Conservative	7.2%	2.4%	52	$416
Base	12%	4%	144	$1,152
Strong	18%	5.6%	302	$2,416

Why not just raise the service fee

A higher fee is visible at checkout and pushes price-sensitive buyers to competitors. Gifts work the other way: the customer receives something useful for free, and you earn only when they decide to activate it. It is extra revenue per booking that also makes the platform more memorable.

How to launch in about an hour

Leave a request on the contact page. We create your partner account and send access to the partner cabinet.
Choose the moment: a success screen, a confirmation email, a reward screen or a bot message.
Paste one widget snippet, or add a link or an inline button with your partner ID — usually 10–15 minutes of work.
In the cabinet, preview your widget and switch off offers that do not suit your audience.
Make a test click — it appears in the cabinet right away — and go live.

No SDK, no backend changes and no personal data: the link carries only your partner ID and a technical click ID. Most partners go live within about an hour of getting access, and the first clicks are visible the same day.
