You can sell online by integrating our tours on your website, integrating our tours on your Facebook business page and/or by using the Rezdy alias. The Rezdy alias is a subdomain on the domain of Rezdy through which you can sell our tours, for example if you have not set up your website yet. Its URL will look something like this: https://yourfullname.rezdy.com or – if you are a blogger – https://yourblogname.rezdy.com.

This blog post only provides you with all the information you need to start selling tours online through the Rezdy alias. For all information you need to start selling tours online through website and Facebook integration, please read our blog post about Website integration and Facebook integration.

IMPORTANT: A Rezdy alias without any traffic is rather useless, just like any other website. Therefore, please make sure to actively promote your Rezdy alias online by sharing it on social media (Facebook page, Facebook groups, etc.). If you are a blogger, you can – in case you do not sell online through website integration – also place it on your website (on a prominent place) and even include it in your newsletter (if any). Not to mention the offline options to share your Rezdy alias, like giving it to travellers with whom you are talking in the bus, at your hostel or while having a drink at Khao San Road. The possibilities are endless!

 

How to start selling online through the Rezdy alias?

It is possible to start selling online through the Rezdy alias, but also through an alternative of the Rezdy alias, the Affiliate Tracking Link. Although the Affiliate Tracking Link is the option that requires the least time to set up, the Rezdy alias is the preferred option. Whichever option you choose is up to you, but if you (also) want to sell online through Facebook integration we recommend you to choose the Rezdy alias. This because, selling online through Facebook integration is only possible if you follow the steps of the Rezdy alias. Once you have followed those steps, you have automatically followed the steps required to start selling online through website and Facebook integration, as they are almost the same.

 

What are the differences between both options?

Basically, the Rezdy alias is your own stand alone site, while the Affiliate Tracking Link is a link to OUR Rezdy alias that includes a cookie (i.e. your agent code). To get your own stand alone site, you will need to add our products to your Public Categories and set up your Booking Form design and Company Profile (see below). This is not necessary for the Affiliate Tracking Link, as we did all those things already.

Besides setup time, there are also a few other differences between both options, most notably commission payment and the amount of taxes and fees paid by your customer. Please check out all the differences between both options in the table below:

* Only from the last order placed and as long as the cookie is in the customer’s browser (i.e. for maximum 6 months or until cookies are being cleared).
** Rezdy will release the funds 7 days upon fulfilment. But not earlier than 14 days after the customer payment, and not earlier than 21 days after the customer payment if the booking amount is above AUD 500 (around USD 375 or EUR 350).

 

Affiliate Tracking Link

Starting to sell online through the Affiliate Tracking Link requires some set up, but once up and running, you will earn commission while you sleep – how great is that! By following the steps below it will be as easy as possible:

  1. Sign up for Rezdy Marketplace by creating an affiliate account. Rezdy Marketplace is free for affiliates!
  2. Request our Negotiated Rates
  3. Get your branded shortlink to promote your Affiliate Tracking Link on social media

IMPORTANT: It is important that you create an affiliate account (not an agent account), as only an affiliate account will allow you to sell online. If you click on the above link, you will automatically end up on the right page, namely the page to create an affiliate account.

Please note that if you choose for the Affiliate Tracking Link, you can skip all information under “Adding our products to your Public Categories” until “Find your Rezdy alias” below.

Rezdy Marketplace

Please check the following links for more information about the Marketplace:

The above links should give you an idea of how the Marketplace works and what your rights and obligations as an affiliate are. In case you have any questions, then you can always – once you have created an affiliate account – ask them directly to Rezdy by submitting a support ticket through the Rezdy dashboard (click on “Help & Support” in the upper right corner of the dashboard). Please note that to gain access to the dashboard, you will need to login first.

IMPORTANT: Do not forget to set up Automated Payments, otherwise you cannot receive any commission payments.

 

Adding our products to your Public Categories

Before we explain what steps you will need to take to add our products to your Public Categories, we first briefly explain what categories are.

By creating categories, you are able to group our products into categories. For example:

  • Sightseeing Tours
  • Bike Tours
  • City Tours
  • Walking Tours

This comes in to play heavily online on your Rezdy Booking Form.

Now you know what categories are, let us continue with the 3 steps you will need to take to add our products to your Public Categories:

 

1. Create a new Public Category

You will need to create the following 15 new categories: (1) All; (2) Weekdays; (3) Weekends; (4) Bike; (5) Canal; (6) City; (7) Eco; (8) Food; (9) Heritage; (10) Night; (11) Sightseeing; (12) Temple; (13) Train; (14) Walking; and (15) Water Sport.

IMPORTANT: Mark the categories as Public (not Private) and use the English category names as indicated above. Please also make sure you create the categories in exactly the same order as above, so that their order on your booking form is the same as above. If you did not create the categories in exactly the same order as above, then you can still sort the categories in the right order by clicking on the Sort Categories button in My Categories under Marketplace in your Rezdy dashboard.

 

2. Find our products

You can find our products by searching on our company name: Bizarre Bangkok Tours

 

3. Add our products to existing categories

Add our products to the categories in the table below:

2. Set up your Company Profile

Please follow the following instructions when setting up your Company Profile under Settings in your Rezdy dashboard:

General information
  • Company Name: your full name or – if you are a blogger – your blog name
  • Website: http://m.me/bizarrebangkoktours
  • Your Rezdy URL: https://yourfullname.rezdy.com or – if you are a blogger – https://yourblogname.rezdy.com
  • Tourism Destinations: do not fill in anything here or – if there has been filled in something already – fill in “Samut Prakan Province, Thailand, Asia”
  • Email: info@bizarrebangkoktours.com
  • Phone Number: +66652100666
  • Official Business Number: do not fill in anything here
  • Show supplier’s details in booking confirmation: select this
Business Address
  • Address: do not fill in anything here
  • City: do not fill in anything here
  • State/County/Region: do not fill in anything here
  • Postcode/ZIP: do not fill in anything here
  • Country: Thailand
Social Media
  • Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/BizarreBangkokTours
  • Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/bizarrebkktours
  • YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/c/BizarrebangkoktoursThailand
  • Google +: http://plus.google.com/+BizarrebangkoktoursThailand
  • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bizarrebangkoktours
  • Pinterest: http://pinterest.com/bizarrebkktours
  • TripAdvisor: http://www.tripadvisor.com/bizarre_bangkok_tours-bangkok

Please note that the reason why we recommend you to include our website, e-mail address, and phone number, is that our Customer Service Manager can then answer all your visitors’ questions. This will not only save you time, but it will also maximize your online sales. After all, our Customer Service Manager can reply a lot faster to any enquiries (before you have replied, your visitor could have booked with someone else already) and also is our Customer Service Manager better than anyone else in able to answer any product related questions (and advise about our products).

Please note as well that the reason why we recommend you to fill in our social media links (these will appear as social media icons on all Product Details pages on your booking form), is that your visitors can then check our latest updates on Facebook, our live tour updates on Twitter and our tour reviews on TripAdvisor, which will all help them to make a better informed decision about whether or not they should book one of our tours through you. Filling in your own social media links does not make much sense, as the updates and/or reviews on your own social media pages will not help you sell more of our tours.

IMPORTANT: Only exactly following the above instructions ensures that the contact information on the Thank You page of your booking form looks exactly as following:

  • Your Full Name
  • http://m.me/bizarrebangkoktours
  • +66652100666
  • info@bizarrebangkoktours.com
  • Thailand

Exactly following the above instructions also ensures that the contact information in the confirmation e-mail your visitors receive looks exactly as following:

  • Regards,
  • http://m.me/bizarrebangkoktours
  • Your Full Name
  • info@bizarrebangkoktours.com
  • +66652100666

 

3. Find your Rezdy alias

You can find your Rezdy alias under “Company Profile” under “Settings” in the Rezdy dashboard. Please note that to gain access to the dashboard, you will need to login first.

IMPORTANT: Please do not change your Rezdy URL anymore once set, as this will cause your previous one not to work anymore. This can create many problems, among which – if you have already integrated Rezdy into your website – a broken connection between Rezdy and your site.

 

How to earn commission?

When selling tours online through the Rezdy alias, you will earn a 10% commission once someone has booked any of our tours through your Rezdy alias. Rezdy guarantees commissions for all fulfills orders and there is no need for invoicing or chasing commission payments.

When selling tours online through the Affiliate Tracking Link, you will earn a 10% commission once someone has booked any of our tours through your Affiliate Tracking Link. From the last order placed and as long as the cookie is in the customer’s browser (i.e. for maximum 6 months or until cookies are being cleared), you will also earn a 10% commission if that customer books any of our tours through http://bizarrebkktours.rezdy.com. There is no need for invoicing, but there is a need for chasing commission payments.

 

Payment, conversion and withdrawal fees

There are a few fees involved that come for the account of affiliates when selling online. This holds for selling online through website integration, Facebook integration as well as through the Rezdy alias or Affiliate Tracking Link.

Concerning payment fees, a Rezdy service fee of 5% applies when selling online through the Rezdy alias. See this as a combined fee for receiving and guaranteeing the commission payments. Please note that this fee will be deducted from the 15% commission rate we pay for selling online, which basically means your effective commission rate will only be 10%. Please note as well that rates shown for Automated Payments are already reduced by 5%, so you will get to see a 10% commission rate instead of the 15% we actually pay.

Once the order is fulfilled, you can withdraw your commission earned directly to your bank account from the Automated Payments area. Payoneer (Rezdy’s payment provider) supports bank accounts in most countries and currencies. Payoneer will, however, apply a currency exchange fee to transfer to your bank account if not in Australia or USA. The currency exchange fee to exchange US dollar to Euro is 2%. This means that you will eventually receive 98% of your commission earned on your bank account (given this is a Euro account).

When withdrawing funds in a local currency, there is also a bank transfer fee of approx USD 3 charged by Payoneer each time funds are withdrawn. Therefore, we recommend you to only withdraw funds once in a while (that means: when the amount of commission earned is high enough).

To make sure you fully understand all fees involved, please check the sample calculation below:

net-commission-calculation-for-affiliates

Please note that we have not included the bank transfer fee in above sample calculation, because you need to have earned at least USD 100 commission before being in able to withdraw funds in a local currency. Once have earned at least USD 100 commission and you withdraw USD 100 in Euro, you will receive EUR 85.5 (or 9.5%) commission [0.98 x (USD 100 x 0.9) – (USD 3 x 0.9)] on your bank account. We do recommend however not to withdraw your commission in a local currency immediately when you have earned at least USD 100 commission, because you would have to wait until you have earned at least USD 100 commission again before being in able to withdraw funds in a local currency again.

Please note as well that when you sell online through the Affiliate Tracking Link, there will be no Rezdy service fee of 5%. The commission you will receive will however be the same, as we do not pay 15%, but only 10% commission in that case. The 3% Payoneer fee for sending the funds requested by you (not discussed above; more about payment requests in our Payment blog post) will be paid by us. For the rest, all other fees (i.c. conversion and bank transfer fees) are exactly the same, meaning that when we send you USD 100, you will receive EUR 85.5 (or 9.5%) commission.

 

What happens next?

After having paid (payments can only be made by credit card), your customers will receive an instant booking confirmation by e-mail. The e-mail will contain OUR business, contact and order details.

If you have set up everything exactly according to the instructions above, you will not need to do anything anymore after set up. You will earn money while you sleep (how great!) and you will also not need to answer any of your customer’s questions anymore (our Customer Service Manager takes care of them). Only if you did not exactly follow the instructions above, you will have to answer your customer’s questions through e-mail and/or by phone.

When selling online through the Rezdy alias, you can check your commission earned in your reporting in the Rezdy dashboard under My Commissions. When selling online through the Affiliate Tracking Link, you can check your commission earned in your reporting in the Rezdy dashboard under Sales – Orders (select Commission after clicking on the Show/Hide Columns button). Please note that to gain access to the dashboard, you will need to login first. Reports show orders in real time and traced back to the first order ever received.

We also get notified of your customer’s booking via our marketplace account. We will have access to his/her booking via our reporting.
