Partners

Four ways to work with us, and every rate is on this page.

Affiliate, travel brand distribution, device makers and API resale. Pick the one that matches what you already have, not the one a sales call decides you have.

Four partner tracks. Affiliate pays 15 percent of net revenue as standard and 20 percent above 250 orders a month, on a 90 day cookie and every order that customer places for 12 months. Travel brand distribution pays 12 to 25 percent with your branding on the purchase. Device makers get a preload agreement paying $1.89 to $4.89 an activation. API resale gives you wholesale rates at 22 to 38 percent margin. Every band is below and applications are answered inside 2 working days.

Two backpackers checking a phone together at a viewpoint — Every one of these decisions gets made in the two weeks before departure. That is where a partner sits.

Why the rates are on the page

Partner pages in this category normally say competitive commission and ask you to book a call. That is a negotiation dressed as a benefit, and the side that does it every day wins it.

The bands below are the real ones. Where you land inside a band depends on volume and on whether the traffic converts, and both of those are measured rather than argued about in a meeting.

We would rather lose the partners we cannot pay properly than spend two calls discovering it. Applications get an answer inside 2 working days with a band attached or a reason attached.

Commission and revenue share bands

Track	Entry band	Top band	Qualifying volume	Paid
Affiliate	15 percent of net revenue	20 percent of net revenue	Top band from 250 orders a month	Monthly, net 15, on every order for 12 months
Travel brand distribution	12 percent revenue share	25 percent revenue share	Bands move from $10,000 net a month, ceiling at $80,000	Monthly, net 30, with a reconciliation file
Device maker preload	$1.89 per activation	$4.89 per activation	From 5,000 units, top band from 250,000	Quarterly, net 45, against activation reports
API resale	22 percent margin	38 percent margin	Entry at 2 TB a year, top band at 40 TB	You set retail and keep the difference

Bands are net of refunds and payment processing. Where a partner sits inside a band is decided by measured volume and conversion, reviewed every quarter, and moved up automatically when the threshold is crossed rather than when somebody asks.

Track one, affiliate

For anybody with an audience. Travel writers, comparison sites, video channels, newsletters, forums and communities that already answer the question of which eSIM to buy.

You get a link, a code, or both. Commission is 15 percent of net revenue as standard and 20 percent above 250 orders in a calendar month, and the band moves automatically on the first of the month you cross it.

The window is the part worth reading. Attribution is 90 days last click, which is the longest published window we found in this category, and we keep paying on that customer's orders for 12 months rather than only the first one. Travel data is a repeat purchase, so a first order model pays you for one trip out of the six you caused.

Cashback sites earn 3 percent and coupon code sites 1 percent, because they capture a decision somebody else created. The full breakdown by partner type, the payment schedule and the $50.89 threshold are on the affiliate page.

Track two, travel brand distribution

For a brand that already owns the booking moment. Online travel agencies, tour operators, airlines, insurers, banks with a travel card, and loyalty programmes.

You sell connectivity inside your own checkout under your own branding. We run provisioning, support and refunds behind it, and the traveller never sees a second brand unless you want them to.

Revenue share runs from 12 percent to 25 percent depending on volume and on how much of the flow you own. A branded storefront we host sits at the entry band. A full integration through our API into your existing basket sits at the top, and the bands start moving at $10,000 of net revenue a month and reach the ceiling at $80,000.

You keep the customer relationship and the data about it. We do not market to your customers, and that restriction is in the contract rather than in a paragraph on a website.

Typical integration is 3 weeks. One week for the catalog and the order flow, one for provisioning states and support routing, and one for invoicing and reconciliation. Payment is monthly on net 30 with a reconciliation file.

Track three, hardware and device makers

For anybody shipping a device with a modem in it. Phone makers, tablet makers, travel routers, cameras, trackers, laptops with cellular, and rugged field hardware.

The offer is a preloaded profile that ships in the box, with a bounty paid per activation. Bounties run from $1.89 to $4.89 depending on volume and on whether the device carries a data grant on first use.

A common structure pairs a small included allowance with a bounty. The buyer switches the device on abroad, it works with no setup, and you are paid when it activates rather than when it sells.

We support consumer profiles and machine to machine profiles, and we can hand you a carrier priority order per region so a tracker in a field attaches to whichever network actually reaches it.

Minimum volume is 5,000 units, because a manufacturing image change is not worth doing below that, and the top band starts at 250,000. Payment is quarterly on net 45 against activation reports. Below the minimum, the resale track gets you to the same place with less paperwork.

Track four, API resale

For a company that wants to sell connectivity as its own product, at its own prices, on its own margin.

You buy wholesale and set your own retail price. Margin runs from 22 percent at the entry commitment of 2 TB a year to 38 percent at 40 TB. What you charge your customers is entirely yours to decide and we do not enforce a floor.

You take tier one support for your own customers. We take tier two, which is anything that needs the carrier platform, and our target on that queue is under 60 seconds.

This track is not for everyone and we say so early. It carries real obligations: a support function, a billing system, refund handling, and somebody who understands what a profile download failure looks like at two in the morning.

If you have an audience but not an operations team, the affiliate track pays better per hour of your time and needs nothing built.

The affiliate track pays better than resale for most applicants.Resale looks like the bigger number until you price the operations behind it. A 38 percent margin carries tier one support, billing, refunds and somebody who can read a provisioning log at two in the morning. A 20 percent affiliate commission carries a link. Unless you already run a support function, the affiliate track earns more per hour of your time, and we will tell you so in the first reply rather than after you have built an integration.

Which track fits what you already have

You already have	Best track	What you have to build	Time to first payment
An audience that asks about travel data	Affiliate	Nothing. A link and a code.	About 45 days
A checkout travellers already pass through	Travel brand distribution	A basket integration, or nothing if you take the hosted storefront.	About 60 days
A device with a modem in it	Device maker preload	A profile in the manufacturing image and an activation report.	One quarter after first shipment
Customers, a billing system and support staff	API resale	An integration, tier one support and refund handling.	Immediately, since you invoice your own customers

How to apply

Write to us with four things. Which track you are applying for. What you already have, whether that is an audience, a checkout, a device line or a customer base. Your best estimate of monthly volume. And the countries your people travel to.

You get a reply inside 2 working days, and it will be a yes with a band, a no with a reason, or a suggestion that a different track fits you better.

Affiliate applications are usually approved the same week. Distribution and preload agreements involve a contract and a security review, and those take three to six weeks. Nobody sits in a pipeline without hearing from us.

What we will not do

We will not pay for incentivised clicks, cookie stuffing, bidding on our own brand name, or a browser extension that overwrites an existing attribution at checkout.

We will not keep paying a partner whose traffic converts below 0.4 percent for two consecutive months, because at that point we are paying for impressions and calling it performance.

We will not let a partner publish a coverage claim we cannot support with a measurement. If your page says we are fastest in a country, the number behind it has to be ours and it has to be current. We reach 145 destinations and Airalo's global plan reaches 169, and we publish that comparison ourselves rather than hoping nobody checks.

Questions partners ask

How is affiliate commission calculated?

On net revenue, which is the order value after refunds, chargebacks and payment processing fees. The standard rate is 15 percent and it rises to 20 percent above 250 orders in a calendar month. It is paid on every order that customer places for 12 months from the first, not just the first purchase, because travel data is a repeat purchase. Wallet top ups count. Gift cards count when they are redeemed.

What is the attribution window and how is it tracked?

90 days, last click. Tracking is server side with a cookie as a convenience rather than a dependency, so a browser that deletes third party storage does not delete your revenue. If a customer clicks your link, closes the tab and buys eleven weeks later from a search result, you are still paid. A later click from another partner takes the attribution, which is what last click means, though we do not let a checkout extension overwrite it.

When do I get paid?

Affiliates are paid monthly on net 15 after a 30 day refund hold, with a $50.89 minimum balance that rolls over, so the first payment lands about 45 days after the first cleared sale. Distribution partners are paid monthly on net 30 with a reconciliation file. Device makers are paid quarterly on net 45 against activation reports. Affiliates who take wallet credit instead of money get a 15 percent uplift.

Can I set my own prices on the resale track?

Yes, entirely. You buy at wholesale and sell at whatever you decide. Margin at the entry commitment of 2 TB a year is 22 percent and reaches 38 percent at 40 TB. We do not enforce a minimum retail price and we do not undercut you with your own customers, because they are your customers and we never contact them.

Do you have a minimum volume?

Affiliate has none, and no follower count either. Distribution has none to start, though the revenue share bands begin moving at $10,000 net a month. Device preload needs 5,000 units because a manufacturing image change is not worth doing below that. API resale starts at a 2 TB annual commitment. If you fall under a threshold we will suggest the affiliate track, which needs nothing built.

What happens to my commission if a customer gets a refund?

It is deducted from net revenue in the month the refund happens, which is why orders sit in a 30 day hold before they become payable. That includes the automatic refunds we issue inside 60 seconds when provisioning fails, which are rare and are our fault rather than yours. The overall refund rate is published in the annual truth report, so you can model this rather than guess at it.

Can I use your speed and coverage claims in my content?

Yes, with one condition. Use our published numbers with the date and the sample size beside them, and update them when we do. Coverage figures move as carrier contracts change. What we will not accept is an unqualified claim that we are fastest anywhere, because in several countries we are not, and we publish those countries ourselves. We reach 145 destinations against Airalo's 169 and we print that too.

Do you work with partners outside the travel industry?

Often. Some of the strongest affiliate performance comes from relocation services, study abroad programmes, remote work communities, camera and drone retailers, and expatriate banking. The question is not which industry you are in. It is whether the people reading you are about to cross a border.
