Once your account has been approved by the Get Your Guide team, your activities will appear on the platform. This only takes a few days. You will of course see all the information you entered, along with your photos and, very importantly, your name at the top of your listing. You will then need to manually monitor your availability and constantly adjust the number of spots available, tour by tour and day by day. If you make a sale on your own website, you will need to reduce the available capacity on Get Your Guide accordingly. This is the most tedious and draining part of the day-to-day workload. Fortunately, Explorates is here to help!
With Explorates, you can access the Channel Management tool for activities built with Get Your Guide's approval. You can then manage availability and pricing centrally, across your own website and Get Your Guide at the same time. For example: a customer books 2 spots for a guided tour on 25 July on your website — those 2 spots are instantly deducted from both your website and Get Your Guide simultaneously. The same applies to cancellations: availability is automatically updated and the spots go back on sale everywhere. You will no longer need to log in to Get Your Guide every time a sale or cancellation happens on your website!
How much does it cost to be on Get Your Guide?
Get Your Guide does not charge any fixed fees — only a commission on your sales. The standard commission is 30% of the VAT-inclusive price. If you generate a high volume of sales, you may become eligible for a reduced commission, which can drop as low as 20%.Before getting started with Get Your Guide, it is worth reviewing your pricing in advance to make sure your margins remain acceptable. One important thing to know: Get Your Guide does not impose a set price, and you can freely charge more on Get Your Guide than on your own website. This can allow you to offset the commission, partly or in full.
Here again, Explorates has you covered! You can configure a price markup in Explorates to apply to your Get Your Guide rates. For example, you could decide that your prices on Get Your Guide will be 15% higher than on your own website. The choice is yours!
