Smart Geofencing for TLDs

Note that we automatically detect the user’s location and redirect them to the correct TLD based on their IP address. This is to ensure that you can have a seamless experience for your users. For example, even if you generate a link to a vrbo.com site, if the user clicking is from Australia, they will be redirected to the equivalent Stayz.com.au Australian brand (with the exact same destination and listing details). This in turn increases conversion rates and makes your business more relevant to your users.

Vrbo:

  • vrbo.com (US and international, including all languages and currency detections)
  • abritel.fr (France)
  • stayz.com.au (Australia)
  • bookabach.co.nz (New Zealand)
  • FeWo-direkt.de (Germany)

Booking.com:

As for Booking.com, the brand only supports “booking.com” TLD internationally, but we do automatic language and currency setting for your users.

Expedia:

The same smart routing rules applies to Expedia.com. Expedia has over 30 TLD’s from .ca, .co.uk, and etc. You’re in good hands 👍

Tripadvisor:

The same smart routing rules applies to Tripadvisor.com. Tripadvisor also has over 30 TLD’s from .fr, .ca, .co.uk, and etc.

Hotels.com:

We support redirecting from and to all subdomains for hotels.com, including hoteles.com (LATAM), and hoteis.com (Brazil).

Kayak:

We offer support for all KAYAK TLDs, ensuring seamless integration with your platform. Our smart routing rules apply to KAYAK as well, allowing users to be redirected to the appropriate local version of the site, such as kayak.co.jp, kayak.co.uk, and others, based on their location and preferences. The same rules for its sister sites such as Momondo, HotelsCombined, Cheapflights, Swoodoo, checkfelix, and Mundi.

Manual generation

If you want more flexibility and scalability, you’ll have to manually enter the data and generate the links yourself. We salute you pioneers! Thankfully it’s pretty straight forward as all you have to do is fill out the missing variables. We made it manual because this is to be used on platforms and blogs with many links and it can get pretty draining if you constantly use a form.

Here’s our main suppliers and three ways to link out:

  • Booking.com
  • Vrbo (and its sister sites like Abritel, Fewo, Stayz and BookABach)
  • Expedia
  • Hotels.com
  • Tripadvisor
  • Kayak (and its sister sites like Momondo, HotelsCombined, Cheapflights, Swoodoo, checkfelix, and Mundi)

A) Listing Page

If you want the user to land directly on the detail page of a listing, simply send in the provider and the listing ID, following this format:

Don’t forget to send in your AID and input your campaign!

Booking For a Booking.com deep link, you will need the hotel ID which includes the country code like so: “us/moxy-nyc-times-square”. https://www.stay22.com/allez/booking/us/moxy-nyc-times-square?aid=affiliateid&campaign=test

Vrbo For a Vrbo.com deep link, you will need the Room ID. Make sure the ID is from vrbo.com and not anywhere else like their affiliate websites such as Abritel.fr.

Categories

Certain suppliers have categories that can be linked to along with special parameters. This only works if you are linking using option B (to a destination SRP). Here are the suppliers and categories that we support:

https://www.stay22.com/allez/{provider}?aid={aid}&campaign={optional_label}&address={address}&category={category}
  • Booking: accommodation
  • Vrbo: accommodation
  • Expedia: accommodation, flight, car, activity, package, cruise
  • Hotels.com: accommodation
  • Tripadvisor: accommodation
  • Kayak: flight, accommodation, car, transportation, package

If you’re using category=flight or category=transportation, you can also add fromiata and toiata parameters to specify the origin and destination airports. For example:

https://www.stay22.com/allez/kayak?aid={aid}&campaign={optional_label}&category=flight&fromiata=YYZ&toiata=YVR

If you omit the fromiata parameter, we will automatically detect the user’s location and use that as the origin airport. If you omit the toiata parameter, we’ll use the address parameter to determine the destination’s IATA code.
