FAQs

Stay22 is for anyone looking to turn their content into revenue. For example, ambitious creators, like travel bloggers, and intent-rich platforms, like publishers, weather sites, events and ticketing businesses, and transportation platforms. If your audience reads about destinations, plans around the weather, buys tickets, or books a journey, there is travel intent worth monetizing.

Yes. Evergreen and archived posts are one of the biggest opportunities for travel bloggers. Spark finds places your older content mentions a destination or stay without a booking link, so that 2019 Lisbon guide can keep earning today.

Stay22 routes each reader to a relevant booking option based on their location, language, currency, destination, and supplier availability. A reader in Tokyo and a reader in Toronto can land on different, relevant paths from the same link.

Yes. Stay22 is designed to work alongside the affiliate programs you already use. It helps you earn from opportunities your current setup is missing, rather than replacing anything.

Yes, with Allez. Create a trackable Stay22 link in the Hub and share it in newsletters, social posts, bios, and video descriptions. Every click is routed to a relevant stay and tracked back to you.

Payouts are processed monthly, and you can follow every booking and payout in your Stay22 Hub. There are no upfront fees: Stay22 only earns when you do.

Stay22 helps publishers generate incremental revenue from the travel intent already moving through their editorial content, without adding ad inventory or changing page layouts. Nova recognizes when readers are moving from reading to planning, and Spark adds contextual booking links to relevant travel mentions across new and archived articles.

Very little. Stay22’s core products run from a lightweight script you can add directly to your site or through Google Tag Manager. If your team can install an analytics tag, it can install Stay22.

No. Stay22 is built to work alongside your current affiliate programs, direct deals, and ad stack. It captures booking opportunities those tools may be missing, rather than competing with them for the same inventory.

No. Stay22 doesn’t require banners, content rewrites, or changes to your page design. Your editorial standards and your reader experience stay under your control.

Yes. You can exclude the Stay22 script from specific pages or sections of your website, giving you control over where monetization is enabled.

Links automatically added to your content by Spark, our smart link optimization tool, are labeled as sponsored and match your site’s existing styling. This doesn’t apply to all Stay22 links.

Nova and Spark are designed to run after the page loads and follow implementation best practices. They don’t alter your page structure or require changes to your published content.

You’ll see where readers are going, what they’re booking, which content is generating revenue, and where more opportunity exists, all in the Stay22 Hub. Your Partner Success team also helps interpret the data and recommend what to do next.

Nothing upfront. Stay22 runs on a commission model, so we only earn when your traffic generates a booking. There’s no license fee and no minimum commitment.

People check the weather before deciding where to go, when to leave, and what to pack. Stay22’s Nova recognizes when forecast behavior signals a trip, like repeated checks on another city, and connects that user with relevant places to stay. Your weather site earns incremental revenue without adding ad inventory.

No. Weather sites already capture strong travel signals through forecast behavior. A user checking conditions in another city, comparing destinations, or returning to the same location may be planning a trip long before they read any travel content.

Nova looks at signals such as the destination being viewed, the user’s location, page context, engagement, and supplier availability. It uses those signals to identify relevant moments, then connects the user with a relevant accommodation option.

Nova can be configured to suppress local users, so everyday forecast checks don’t trigger irrelevant accommodation offers. The exact rules are tailored to your property and audience.

No. Nova doesn’t require banners, widgets, or changes to your page layout. Controls can be set around frequency, local traffic, sensitive content, and other relevance rules.

Sensitive pages can be excluded, so Nova never activates where an accommodation offer would be inappropriate. Your team decides where monetization appears.

Nova runs from a lightweight script that can be added across desktop and mobile web. It supports asynchronous loading and doesn’t require changes to your core forecast experience.

No. Stay22 is designed to work alongside your current setup, capturing travel opportunities your existing ad and affiliate products may be missing.

There are no upfront fees. Stay22 runs on a commission model, so we only earn when your forecast traffic generates a booking.

Once someone buys a ticket, they still need somewhere to stay. Stay22 helps events and ticketing businesses earn from that next step with Map, an interactive map of nearby stays around the venue, and Allez, a trackable accommodation link for confirmation emails, buttons, banners, and apps.

No. Stay22 is designed to complement the ticket journey, not compete with it. Accommodation can be introduced after purchase, on confirmation pages, or in other placements where the ticket conversion has already happened.

For most ticketing businesses, the confirmation page is the strongest first step. It appears after the transaction, is easy to test, and reaches attendees while their plans are still top of mind. Event discovery platforms can also add Map to event and venue pages earlier in the journey.

Embed Stay22 Map on your event or venue page. Map centers on the venue and shows live, bookable accommodation around it, so attendees can compare location, distance, price, and availability without searching somewhere else.

No. Stay22 is also a strong fit for event marketplaces, venue sites, festival platforms, event organizers, and content-led discovery businesses. Anywhere people decide what to attend and plan around a location, there’s accommodation intent.

Very little. Map is added with a lightweight embed, and Allez links can go into emails, buttons, banners, and apps you already control. Our team helps you pick the lowest-lift setup for your existing journey.

You can track revenue, bookings, destinations, placement performance, and transaction-level results in the Stay22 Hub. Your Partner Success team helps you see which events, placements, and destinations perform best.

No. Stay22 is designed to be additive, capturing accommodation opportunities your current stack may be missing.

There are no upfront fees. Stay22 runs on a commission model, so we only earn when an attendee books a stay.

No. Loop is designed to work alongside your existing journey. Travelers complete their search and booking as usual, and accommodation appears as a relevant next step rather than a competing conversion.

Loop uses a partner-side integration that passes destination, dates, and tracking information into the accommodation experience. Stay22 provides the link structure, documentation, tracking format, and implementation support. Your team connects the relevant search or booking surface.

Yes. Allez links can go into confirmation emails, CRM, newsletters, apps, and banners you already control. It’s a lower-lift way to test accommodation monetization before connecting Loop to your core search experience.

Stay22 looks at the destination, dates, location, device type, and supplier availability, then routes each traveler to a relevant, available booking path for that trip.

Stay22 is designed to preserve the transportation booking journey. We recommend defining success criteria before launch and monitoring both accommodation performance and core ticket conversion throughout the rollout.

Stay22 is designed to be additive. It captures accommodation opportunities around your transportation journey and can reduce the need to manage multiple supplier relationships or booking paths yourself.

Track revenue, bookings, destinations, routes, campaigns, and placement performance in the Stay22 Hub. Campaign and custom tracking values can also be used for segmentation and analysis.

There are no upfront fees. Stay22 runs on a commission model, so we only earn when a traveler books a stay.

Booking.com, Expedia, Hotels.com, and Vrbo, all in one call. The API covers accommodation only for now, not flights, cars, or activities.

Nothing to get started. There’s no fee for your API key. You earn on the same revenue share model as other Stay22 products, only on bookings that actually go through.

No. Indie developers, small teams, and technical founders can all get a key. You don’t need to prove you’re already big before you start building.

Yes. Connect live prices and booking links to your AI assistant so travel questions get bookable answers. The API also works for planning apps, booking tools, and content or points-of-interest platforms.

Create a free Stay22 account, then grab your key from the Hub. That’s it.

Widgets and links like Map and Allez are ready to use out of the box, no code required. The API is for teams who want to build their own experience and control exactly how results look and feel.

Yes. The API is additive, and everything reports into the same Hub you already use.

There are six: Nova catches booking intent as visitors browse, Spark adds booking links to unlinked travel mentions, Lift gets more from affiliate links you already have, Map embeds nearby stays around a place, Loop adds accommodation to transportation searches, and Allez gives you a trackable booking link to share anywhere.

It depends on where intent shows up. Travel bloggers and publishers usually start with Nova, Spark, and Lift. Weather sites use Nova. Events and ticketing platforms use Map and Allez. Transportation platforms use Loop and Allez. Our team can recommend a starting point based on your traffic.

No. Turn on the whole platform, or only the products that fit. Nova, Spark, and Lift run together from the same setup, while Map, Loop, and Allez can be added on their own.

The Allez Linking System is the technology behind every Stay22 product. It carries destination, location, language, currency, and campaign details into each click, routes it to a relevant booking path, and tracks the result back to you.

Stay22 adapts to each visitor’s location, language, currency, and device, and reads the content and context around them. For eligible products, live performance data also helps choose the supplier and landing page for each opportunity.

The Stay22 Hub is your home base. Activate products, see what’s driving revenue, track earnings and payouts, create trackable links with Allez, build interactive maps with Map, find documentation, and refer other partners, all in one place.

Stay22 is expanding beyond travel into retail for eligible lifestyle creators. Access is currently limited while the retail experience and partner support continue to evolve.

Nova is a Stay22 product that helps you earn from the booking intent already in your traffic. It recognizes when a visitor is moving from browsing to booking, then surfaces a relevant stay for the destination they’re exploring. No links to place, no new ad placements, no changes to your page.

Nova reads signals such as destination cues on the page, page activity, location, and repeat visits. It waits for a qualifying interaction, so it acts on clear interest rather than showing an offer to everyone who lands on the page.

No. Nova doesn’t add banners, widgets, or new placements. It only activates when visitor behavior shows clear booking intent.

No. Nova uses frequency controls, eligibility rules, and page exclusions, so it appears only for relevant visitors at relevant moments.

Yes. Eligible pages, markets, and audiences can be configured during setup with our team.

Sign up for free and add the Stay22 script to your site. It works with WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, and custom sites, and Nova, Spark, and Lift all run from the same setup.

Spark finds places in your existing content where a stay naturally belongs but no booking link exists, then adds a relevant booking link inline. It works across new and older posts, so more of your archive can earn without you editing every page.

Spark identifies destinations, hotels, neighborhoods, and other accommodation mentions, then scores each one for relevance. It skips low-relevance mentions and places that already have a suitable link, so it doesn’t link every mention on the page.

No. Spark adds links without changing the surrounding copy, your layout, or your existing links.

Spark links follow your site’s existing link styling, open in a new tab, and are marked as sponsored to support disclosure.

Yes. Older and evergreen content are core use cases. A guide you published years ago can keep creating booking opportunities today.

No. Spark only adds new links where none exist. Lift is the product that improves links already on your page.

Yes. Eligibility can be set by page, category, content type, or market during setup with our team.

Spark processes each page after it loads. On a page’s first visit, processing can take a moment, and links appear once the page has been analyzed.

Lift, formerly LinkSwap, gets more from the accommodation links already on your site. It finds eligible links across your content, checks where they lead, and routes them through Stay22, while your content and link placement stay exactly where they are.

Yes. Lift is the new name for LinkSwap. It does the same job: helping the affiliate links you’ve already placed work harder.

Lift works on links you already have. Spark adds new links where none exist. Many partners run both from the same setup.

No. Lift keeps the existing link in the same place with the same surrounding content. Only the path behind the click changes.

Lift can send the reader to another relevant, available option, so an outdated link still leads somewhere useful.

Lift works with eligible accommodation links from supported providers. Our team confirms which of your links are eligible during setup.

Yes. Large libraries of evergreen content are a core use case, since checking hundreds of links by hand doesn’t scale.

Tracking and attribution are mapped during setup, and clicks and bookings from upgraded links appear in your Stay22 Hub.

Map is an embeddable, interactive accommodation map. It shows live, bookable stays around a venue, event, landmark, neighborhood, or destination on your page, so visitors can answer “where should I stay?” without leaving to search somewhere else.

Create a map in the Stay22 Hub, set the location, and copy the embed code into your page or template. Advanced setups can also be configured with an iframe URL.

Yes. Map can center on a venue, event, landmark, neighborhood, destination, or set of coordinates.

Map can appear as an interactive map, a map paired with a scrollable list of properties, or a list view where a full map doesn’t fit. The right mode depends on your placement.

Yes. Map connects to supported accommodation inventory, so visitors see real, available options.

Yes. Map can use event or trip dates, guest details, and your site’s language to show more relevant results.

Allez gives you one trackable accommodation link you can share anywhere your audience already is. Every click is routed to a relevant booking path and tracked back to you, so you can focus on sharing instead of managing what happens next.

Open the Generator in your Stay22 Hub, add the supported accommodation link you want to share, and Stay22 creates a short, trackable link and a QR code.

Not for every use case. Allez links can be created and shared without a full site integration.

Emails, newsletters, social posts, bios, video descriptions, buttons, banners, apps, confirmation pages, and web pages. Anywhere you can place a link, Allez can earn.

Yes. Campaign and custom tracking values let you separate results by channel, post, or placement.

It’s the routing and tracking technology behind Allez links, and behind every other Stay22 product too.

Yes. Loop is the new name for Search Bar.

When a traveler submits a route or destination search, your platform passes the destination and dates to Stay22. Loop then opens a relevant accommodation option for that trip, while the traveler continues their transport search.

Loop uses approved trip details such as destination, dates, and campaign information. Travelers don’t need to enter anything twice.

Yes. A rollout can begin with selected routes, audiences, or placements.

Track clicks, bookings, revenue, and placement performance in the Stay22 Hub, with dedicated tracking for search traffic.

Online travel agencies are massive companies, and most partners are a small line in a very large spreadsheet. With Stay22, you get access to major suppliers through one relationship, plus a team that knows your account by name and responds within 24 hours.

No. Stay22 works alongside what you already have, finding the bookings your current setup is missing, not the ones it’s already catching.

A real person who knows your account, a real answer, and a response within 24 hours. No chatbots, no ticket queues, no three-day “we’re looking into it” emails.

Where your audience is going, what they’re booking, which content drives the most revenue, and where there’s more opportunity. Then we tell you what we’d do about it.

No. Stay22 adds relevant next steps without banners, page takeovers, or clutter. If a reader isn’t looking for something to book, they won’t notice us.

There isn’t one. You bring the content and the audience, and we bring the monetization. We only get paid when you get paid, so we’re invested in your results.

You earn a $500 bonus for every creator you refer who reaches 100 confirmed bookings. There’s no cap on how many creators you can refer.v

Creators with a website, such as travel bloggers, YouTubers, newsletter writers, and media brands. If they publish and have an audience, they’re likely a fit.

Anywhere your audience already is: your blog, YouTube channel, newsletter, or social posts.

Automatically. Make sure your referral code is at the end of the link you share, and test the link before posting, since that’s how we identify your referral.

Once your referral reaches 100 confirmed bookings, our team verifies them. After verification, your $500 bonus arrives in your usual payout account within 2 to 4 weeks.

No. The referral program is based on travel bookings only.
