This article covers the fundamentals of the trip builder and explains the key differences between the Basic and Advanced 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:
Title: Give your trip a catchy and descriptive title.
Trip ID: An optional custom identifier to help organize and track your trip.
Primary destination
Trip dates: Set as a one-time or recurring trip.
Photos: Upload from your device, Google Drive, or Unsplash.
Group size: Define minimum and maximum group size.
Waitlist: Enable to collect potential customers once the trip is sold out.
Visibility: Set to Public (searchable by search engines) or Private (accessible only via a direct link).
Trip Page:
You can choose whether to use the Basic Editor, use Smart Import, use an Existing Itinerary, or switch to the Advanced Editor.
Basic 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.
Smart Import (Pro feature): Already have your itinerary written up in a PDF or published at a URL? Smart Import uses AI to automatically convert it into a WeTravel itinerary in just a few clicks, so you don't have to retype everything by hand. Simply paste a URL or upload a PDF, and we'll build your itinerary from it — for best results, make sure the document includes a clear day-by-day breakdown. Creation can take a few minutes; you're free to keep working on other parts of your trip in the meantime, and we'll email you as soon as it's ready.
Existing Itinerary: Allows you to easily reuse itineraries and trips to create the trip page.
You can use the search functionality to find trips and itineraries based on their name or Trip ID.
Once you click "Insert", we clone the itinerary or trip and take you directly to the itinerary editor.
Advanced Editor: Build a stunning trip page with accommodations, meals, flights, pictures, videos, a book now button, and more!
To use it, select Switch to Advanced and click Open Editor. 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.
Note: If content has already been added to your trip builder using the Basic Editor, we will show a warning explaining that we will replace your old trip page with the new one.
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 Advanced Editor page, you can fully customize your trip’s appearance by enabling bookings and customizing the 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 Advanced 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 Advanced editor to customize it to your needs.
🚨 Important things to keep in mind when switching between editors
All information and images added to the Basic Editor and published will carry over to the Advanced Editor if you switch to it.
If you edit any information in the Advanced Editor and return to the Basic Editor, the content added in the Advanced 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.
Once you've completed all sections, preview your trip to see how customers will see it, then publish when you're ready to go live.
Note: When making changes in the trip builder and republishing a trip, please allow a few seconds for the live trip page to refresh and display the updates.
