New ebookers API

    Jul 21, 2008
     
  Over the coming months ebookers is migrating to a new API (called PWS – Platform Web Services). This will be replacing the existing API although the two will run concurrently for some time.

The new API will have a number of benefits, including lower response times and higher stability. Due to the construction of the new API, diagnosing and repairing problems will also be easier.

We have already requested usage data from many affiliates using the existing API, but please expect further requests for information before the new API is rolled out.

The migration will take place over the next 2-3 months and partners will be given as much notice as possible. Documentation will be made available as the migration process nears.

If you have any concerns, please let us know.

New Commission Structure!

    Jul 21, 2008
     
  They have been a long time coming, but the new ebookers affiliate commissions are now live! Our commissions have been improved and simplified to offer some of the best rates in the affiliate travel industry.

Improved commission rates
Of course, this is always good news! See our commissions page for a detailed list of the new commissions.
Affiliates producing over 50 sales per month will now receive 1.4% on Flights, 7% on Hotels and Cars, and 4% on Packages!

Simpler hotel commission structure
Gone are the 7 different hotel commissions. We have rolled all hotel sales into a single commission structure (6 or 7 % depending on your overall sales volumes).

No tiers - commissions are based on monthly performance
In an effort to make things simpler for our affiliates, commissions will be based on monthly performance and there will be no ‘tiers’ as such. Affiliates achieving more than 50 sales per months will benefit from higher commission rates.

We hope these changes will make everything simpler and easier to manage. If you have any questions, please contact us.
