Selling guided trips as an agent, guide or creator

Steps

1. Switch to a business account — Publishing a trip for sale is a business-account feature. Business accounts can also be verified, which is shown on the profile.
2. Build the trip you intend to run — Plan it like any other itinerary first, so buyers can see the real day-by-day plan.
3. Publish it with seats and a price — Set how many seats are available and the price per seat. The hotels in the trip are visible to buyers, so it is clear what they are paying for.
4. Review booking requests — A request arrives as pending. Approving it confirms the seat and shares the trip with that traveller.
5. Manage the bookings — The bookings table shows who has requested, who is confirmed and how many seats are left. You can reject a request or remove a confirmed seat if plans change.
6. Track what you have published and booked — Separate lists cover trips you published and trips you have booked onto yourself.

Good to know

• Seats are held from the moment a request is made, so the count shown to buyers reflects pending requests as well as confirmed ones.
• A traveller can hold only one active seat per trip.
• Cancelled and rejected bookings are kept, so you keep a history of who came and who dropped out.
• Approving a request is what shares the itinerary — a buyer does not see the full plan before you confirm them.

Frequently asked questions

Can travel agents sell trips through BackIn5?

Yes. With a business account you can publish a trip with a set number of seats and a price per seat, and take booking requests against it.

Do I approve who books?

Yes. Requests arrive pending and you confirm or reject each one. Confirming is what shares the itinerary with that traveller.

What happens when a trip sells out?

Seats held by pending and confirmed bookings both count, so the trip stops accepting requests once they are taken.

Can someone book more than one seat?

A booking can cover several seats, but a traveller holds only one active booking per trip.
