Affiliate-driven travel booking SaaS for publishers

Stay22 helps publishers and content creators earn revenue from their audiences by embedding a travel booking widget and related tools into their sites. Its SaaS platform integrates with publisher websites (like travel blogs or event pages) and drives bookings for accommodations and other travel services through affiliate links. Publishers earn commissions on bookings they influence, while Stay22 shares in the revenue, creating a new monetization stream from existing content. The system uses machine learning to personalize the booking experience for end users, aiming to improve conversion rates. Stay22 differentiates itself by targeting digital media and travel content creators, offering a plug-and-play monetization solution tailored to publishers’ needs and a suite of tools designed for travel content. The overall goal is to turn travel content into commerce by helping publishers monetize their audience through affiliate bookings and ticketing.
