Voucher codes sold through what we call your "channels" are simple. You pay us for the voucher codes included in your annual plan – or for voucher codes purchased out of plan at $0.89 per code – and then you sell these at whatever price you choose. (It’s better for everybody, especially the customer, if you don’t charge more for the tour than you’re charging on VoiceMap, and the price we list here is up to you.)
When your tour is sold through what we call our “channels”, VoiceMap pays a royalty. We’re always looking for new ways to distribute tours, but for now, these include:
Our iOS and Android apps, with payments processed by Apple and Google respectively
Our website, with payments processed by Stripe
OTA listings managed by VoiceMap, with payments processed by the OTA. (OTAs are online travel agencies like Expedia and Viator, which is owned by Tripadvisor.)
Local media companies like Time Out London where we sell specific tours as well as voucher codes with multiple credits that can be used to redeem a range of tours at a later stage.
Our standard royalty is 50%. This is calculated after the payment processing fees charged by Apple, Google, Stripe or the OTA, which range from 3.4% plus a set fee of $0.35 for Stripe to 30% for Apple and Google. (If you think the latter is high, you aren’t alone. So do Spotify, Epic Games, and Telegram.)
