INTEGRATING THE GOMIO.COM AFFILIATE SYSTEM
Types of Affiliate System
There are a number of types of GOMIO.COM Affiliate System that the Affiliate Partner can integrate into their website, depending on the requirements the Affiliate Partner has.
‘Listings’ – For websites that already have an existing hostel list, GOMIO.COM can implement a ‘Book Now’ button for those hostels that are signed up to GOMIO.COM. This takes the guest to a booking process for that individual hostel. An example is shown in the screenshots below.
‘Search Box’ – For websites that wish to integrate a searchable system, GOMIO.COM can provide a hostel Search Box with a choice of drop down menus for countries/locations as well as options to select dates and number of beds. The guest fills his/her requirements and is presented with a hostel list from the GOMIO.COM database. An example is shown in the screenshots below.

The different Affiliate System options are fully brandable by your webmasters/web-designers and can be tailor-made to fit the Affiliate Partner’s requirements. GOMIO.COM can also help with the integration, to make sure that the Affiliate System is seamlessly integrated with the Partner website. Do not hesitate to ask if there are any special requirements.
The GOMIO.COM Affiliate System has been created as such that the Affiliate Partner can integrate a system for booking hostels online that meets the needs of each individual Affiliate Partner.
Controlling the Affiliate System: Which hostels and where
Each Affiliate Partner receives a login to the Affiliate Management System in which the Affiliate Partner can chose which hostels are made available, based on country or city or even down to individual hostels.
There are no limits to which hostels and where are made available on the Affiliate Partner’s website.
In the Affiliate Management System the Affiliate Partner can select which countries are bookable, which cities, and which hostels, using a system of default settings and individual ‘tick-boxes’. Below is a screenshot of the Affiliate Management System to give an idea of how this works.
