Sell on TripWays and Beyond!
If you operate tours or travel experiences, we help you reach travelers on TripWays.com and the channels we operate, with storefront tooling that stays aligned because products, calendars, and pricing import from Bokun.
TripWays partners with Bokun—a platform for tour inventory, bookings, and B2B contracts—to connect operators with our marketplace. The integration is fully API-based: once you are set up in Bokun with TripWays, you manage your tours there as usual. There is no extra TripWays dashboard to maintain, and no separate setup or subscription fee from TripWays beyond your normal contract terms.
From there, TripWays handles the multi-layer curation and quality work required for strong visibility on Google Things to do and similar surfaces—so you get the benefit of that complexity without taking it on yourself.

Google Things to do FAQ
What is Google Things to do, and how does TripWays participate?
Google Things to do surfaces bookable experiences in Google Search and related surfaces. TripWays operates a curated marketplace and, for approved listings, supplies a compliant product feed so eligible tours can appear with accurate, bookable pricing. Placement on Google is not guaranteed for every product.
Who is the contracting entity?
All Seen LLC, doing business as TripWays (Delaware, USA). Partnership contact: [email protected].
Will a TripWays / All Seen LLC contract be opened in Bokun?
Free listing uses your existing TripWays Bokun supplier connection: we read and list your products via API. Enrollment in the Google Things to do path through TripWays is separate — you accept the invite and the Vendor Distribution & Listing Addendum. In short: a base Bokun connection for tours and bookings, plus distribution enrollment when you join the program.
What is required to enroll?
Accept the Vendor Distribution Addendum; name a technical/inventory contact; confirm price parity across your channels; and confirm that you own your activity photos or hold full commercial and distribution rights. TripWays then runs products through quality and feed-readiness checks.
Which of our tours will be distributed through Google Things to do / TripWays?
Only eligible, curated products that pass TripWays quality gates: addendum accepted, compliant imagery and content, valid place/location data, accurate price and availability, and Google Things to do policy fit. A listing on TripWays does not guarantee Google distribution. TripWays may include or exclude products for policy, quality, or commercial reasons.
How long until products appear on Google?
There is no fixed public go-live date. Timing depends on data quality, feed readiness, and Google’s review and indexing. TripWays prioritizes complete, policy-compliant listings.
Can we review the full commercial agreement / addendum before accepting online?
Yes. The Vendor Distribution & Listing Addendum is published at /vendor-distribution-listing-addendum/. It supplements your existing supplier or marketplace contract. Electronic acceptance records the addendum version and timestamp. Specific commission and payout terms for your account are set in your supplier contract, not only in this FAQ.
What commission percentage applies to bookings?
Commission is set individually on your Bokun supplier contract with TripWays. We do not publish a single fixed site-wide percentage for every vendor or product. Your partnership contact confirms the rate that applies to your account, and rates can be revisited as the relationship develops.
Is the commission the same for bookings from Google Things to do?
Google Things to do bookings use the same supplier-contract commission as other TripWays bookings for that product. We do not add a separate Google Things to do channel fee on top of your contract rate. Any exception would only apply if separately agreed in writing for your account.
Are there setup fees, subscription fees, or other costs beyond commission?
No separate setup or subscription fee is charged for free listing or for participating in the TripWays Google Things to do path, beyond the commission and any terms already in your supplier contract. You keep your products updated in Bokun; TripWays may occasionally share optimization suggestions.
Who collects payment from the customer?
For bookings made through TripWays, All Seen LLC d/b/a TripWays (and/or its payment processors) collects payment from the traveler at checkout. Bokun is the booking and inventory engine used so both TripWays and you receive booking details promptly. Invoicing between TripWays and you follows your supplier contract.
When and how are payments transferred to us?
Supplier payouts are generally processed after the tour is completed, subject to your contract and any holds needed for cancellations, disputes, or compliance. Method and currency depend on your company’s location and the payout options available for that region. Exact timing and method for your account are confirmed during onboarding and in your supplier arrangement.
Will we receive settlement reports showing booking source, commission, net payout, and payment status?
Yes. Booking and settlement detail for TripWays bookings is available through your Bokun reporting. Payout confirmations are provided when funds are sent, in line with the payout method used for your account.
Are taxes, VAT, entrance fees, optional extras, and add-ons included in the commission calculation?
Commission applies to the bookable amount defined in your Bokun contract and to the priced components included in the sold booking. Whether a given tax, fee, or extra is in that base depends on how the product is configured and sold under your contract. Extras you sell directly to the traveler outside the TripWays booking are outside that commission. Included services described on the listing must still be delivered as stated.
How are prices displayed to customers, and is price parity required?
Travelers see the bookable price from TripWays inventory. For the same product, you should keep pricing aligned across your own website, TripWays, and other OTAs. Material mismatches across channels can harm performance and may lead to suppression from distribution.
Who handles customer support, cancellations, refunds, complaints, and chargebacks?
For TripWays bookings, travelers contact TripWays first. If we need operational detail only you can provide, we may reach out to you. Cancellation and refund outcomes follow the supplier policy shown on the listing and at checkout. You remain responsible for delivering the experience. Rules for chargebacks, set-off, and related financial adjustments are described in the Vendor Distribution & Listing Addendum and your supplier contract. Traveler-facing terms are published separately on TripWays.
Must our images be unique, and who must own them?
Yes. Products distributed to Google must meet Google Things to do content rules, including unique imagery per product where required, and no prohibited promotional text or watermarks. You must fully own the photos or hold full commercial and sublicensable distribution rights.
Where may our images be used?
Use is not limited to Google Things to do. By accepting the addendum you grant TripWays a license to use listing content (including images) on TripWays properties and with distribution partners (including Google), including sublicensing needed for those surfaces. Content already distributed may persist in partner caches and fixed media after delisting. See the addendum for the full license grant.
Is there any limitation of liability regarding copyright, image usage, customer claims, or operational issues?
As the supplier, you are responsible for the accuracy and rights to the content you provide, and for delivering the experience. The Vendor Distribution & Listing Addendum sets out warranties, indemnity (including for intellectual-property claims related to your content), and TripWays’ ability to set off certain amounts against payouts where permitted. TripWays acts as a marketplace intermediary under traveler terms. This FAQ is a summary only — the addendum and your supplier contract control if anything conflicts.
What if Google rejects or suppresses a listing?
TripWays may suppress or exclude the product and ask you to fix titles, descriptions, images, pricing, or place data. Continued non-compliance can mean lasting exclusion from partner feeds. Google’s own review and ranking decisions are outside TripWays’ control.
If we withdraw, how long until our products are removed from all channels?
If you withdraw your Bokun contract, freeze products for distribution, or opt out of Things to do, TripWays stops including those products in the Google Things to do feed promptly. TripWays.com listings may remain soft-frozen for a short grace period before unpublish. Removal from Google Search or Maps caches is not instant and is not under a fixed public SLA; content already in partner fixed media (screenshots, caches, and similar) may persist. TripWays does not guarantee full removal of cached or static content across partner surfaces.
