Travelpayouts review

Travelpayouts pays on cpa and revshare, so a publisher can take a fee per booking or a share of what the booking earns. The share keeps paying while the customer stays booked, while the fee pays once per confirmed sale. Both land in the same account balance.

A payout needs a $50 balance in the account. That threshold sits above the median of €43.85 across the networks compared here, so a part-time site waits longer for its first transfer than it would on a lower-threshold network.

Payouts run monthly, 11th-20th, which means one transfer per month inside a set window rather than an on-demand withdrawal. Booking earnings have to clear the $50 threshold before the window matters, so a slow month carries into the next cycle.

Support is self-serve, and help centre is the only channel listed, covering account setup, payout method changes and booking tools. A phone line or live chat is not part of that offering, so a publisher with a stuck payout reads the documentation rather than waiting on a reply.

The network is based in Thailand and has operated since 2011. That length of trading counts in travel, where booking cycles move with the season, since a publisher keeps the same tools and payout terms across a full year of demand.

It fits a publisher already earning from travel content who can reach a $50 balance without chasing it. On cpa and revshare the choice is between a fee per booking and an ongoing share. A site outside the travel vertical gets less from a travel-focused network than one aligned to it.

Admitad adds cpa, cpl and cps, giving a publisher lead and sale pricing as well. The AWEmpire casual-dating tier runs on PPL, PPLR and PPS, a different market, and A8.net keeps cpa for a single-model setup.

Travelpayouts asks for a $50 balance, while the median across the compared networks is €43.85 and the lowest threshold is €0. A site that clears the lower figure can take money sooner.
