This article covers the fundamentals of the trip builder and explains the key differences between the Classic and New Editors.
Creating a Trip
To start building a trip or payment request, click the orange "Create" button.
Choose what kind of trip or payment you would like to create:
Full Trip: Build a complete trip, with a trip description, packages, add-ons, participant questionnaire, eSignature, and more, using the trip builder.
Payment Link: Skip the trip creation process and instead quickly generate a one-time payment request link to save time for you and your team. More information can be found here.
Business Payment Request: Quickly create a payment request and share it with your business partners to collect payments. More information can be found here.
Full Trip
Trip Basics:
In this section, you can give your trip a catchy and descriptive title, an optional trip ID, set the primary destination, set your trip dates, choose whether it's a one-time or recurring trip, upload photos from your device, Google Drive, or Unsplash, define the minimum/maximum group size, enable waitlist to collect potential customers once the trip is sold out, and set the trip to Public (searchable by search engines) or Private (accessible only via a direct link).
Trip Page:
You can choose whether to use the classic editor or the new editor:
Classic Editor: Allows you to add a trip description, specify what's included and what's not, add your own brochure, and include an overview of the trip by adding events for each day.
New Editor: Build a stunning trip page with accommodations, meals, flights, pictures, videos, a book now button, and more!
To switch, select Try New Editor and click Edit Trip Page. From there, you can customize your page by adding various sections and items.
For more information on how these sections and items work, check out our full guide here.
By default, your itinerary uses the banner image and title from Trip Basics. You can edit these directly within the itinerary editor by clicking on them.
Note: Changes made here only apply to your itinerary. Your original Trip Basics will remain unchanged. If you delete your edits, the section will automatically revert to the default values from Trip Basics.
In the Settings menu of the new editor page, you can fully customize your trip’s appearance by configuring the Book Now button, logo, and layout. You can also enable a Download Brochure button using an auto-generated version or your own custom one.
TIP: Customizations made within the new editor, including button name, color, and text, logo, layout, and brochure download, are trip-specific and will not affect your other trips, allowing you to customize these settings per trip.
If you see the default “See availability” button and would like to change it, simply open the trip in the new Trip Builder editor, where you can easily customize it to match your needs.
🚨 Important things to keep in mind when switching between editors
All information and images added to the Classic Editor and published will carry over to the New Editor if you switch to it.
If you edit any information in the New Editor and return to the Classic Editor, the content added in the New Editor will be removed, and the itinerary will be restored to its original version.
Packages
Create packages with custom pricing, payment plans, and booking deadlines. In this section, you can also manage availability, connect resources, and set participant limits per booking.
Add-ons
Offer optional add-ons, such as extra nights, airport transfers, or massages, available for purchase per participant or per booking. You can also give travelers the opportunity to contribute to a carbon offset program in this section.
Participant Info
Customize your data collection by setting up Questionnaires during checkout and Tasks (Pro feature) for post-checkout. To ensure you get the information you need, you can set due dates and mark specific items as mandatory.
eSignature (Pro feature)
Pro users can upload documents for the buyer or all participants to sign. You can make these signatures mandatory during or after checkout. More information can be found here.
Settings
Draft a Welcome Message to include with confirmation emails, specify who covers the fees, and create trip-specific discount codes. Pro users can also enable contributions, allowing participants to accept external funding for their trip.
After completing these steps, you can preview your trip to see how the customer sees it, and publish it once you're ready to go live.
That's it! Your trip has been published and is now available for booking.
