Sell More, Miss Less: Unlock Availability With Our Multisourcing Update
As a travel media affiliate, keeping your content bookable, especially for popular experiences, is no easy task. High-demand products often sell out quickly, and managing multiple listings for the same experience can become time-consuming and inefficient. Even worse, you may be directing readers to a link that looks promising, only for them to hit a dead end with no or poor availability, resulting in a frustrating user experience, and missed sales for you.
That’s where our latest feature comes in.
Multisourcing is a powerful tool that combines availability from multiple sources into one seamless listing. It’s designed to help you keep your most in-demand experiences bookable, even when individual products run out. In turn this boosts your conversion rates, simplifies operations, and delivers a better booking experience for your users.
What are Multisource products?
Multisource products intelligently pool availability from different suppliers offering an identical experience, with the same content, inclusions, and quality, into one unified product listing. Instead of juggling three or four separate links for identical products, you promote just one, and the system handles the rest in the background.
Whether it's a museum ticket, guided tour, or skip-the-line pass, you now have a smarter way to ensure that your content stays bookable and user-friendly.
Beyond simplifying your workflow, this feature also ensures your users have a consistent and trustworthy experience, no matter which supplier fulfills the booking.
💡Please note: While the product experience is identical, commission rates may vary slightly between suppliers. You can view the commission range directly in the Product catalogue in the portal.
Why you should start using Multisource products
A closer look
Let’s say you’re promoting Accademia Gallery entrance tickets. In the past, you might have used multiple links for different products even from different OTAs selling the exact same experience. If one sold out, you would have had to manually switch the link, or risk directing your audience to a product with little to no availability, costing you valuable conversions.
With Multisource products, availability from all suppliers is automatically combined into a single listing, helping to ensure that your users find a live, bookable option most of the time. The result: a smoother booking experience for your audience, and more consistent earnings for you, without the manual effort.
For example, when selling a standard product for the Accademia Gallery's Priority Ticket (see left image below), some dates, beyond regular closure days like May 4th and every Monday, show as unavailable due to limited inventory from a single supplier (you'll notice almost every Tuesday and several other dates blocked).
With Multisource products, by combining inventory from multiple products, almost every day remains available (except for standard closure dates), significantly improving the chances that your readers can book for the date that they want. See the difference in the right image below.
Shown here, there is lower availability for the standard product, Accademia Gallery's Priority Ticket.
With the Multisource product shown here, the combination of inventory from multiple products allows greater availability for the same experience.
