How You Get Paid
Your earnings are agreed before you commit, and travel costs never touch your pocket. Whether you join our founding cohort or set your own per-traveler fee later, getting paid is the easy part.
- Founding ambassadors earn a guaranteed payout agreed up front, scaled to your reach — around $15,000 per million followers as a starting point.
- As the program grows, you set your own per-traveler fee and keep the majority of it — Byline takes a 25% platform fee, nothing else.
- No costs or logistics on your side — travelers book their travel bundle directly through Byline.
- Weekly payouts, straight to your account, tracked in your dashboard.
Secure Payments
We handle all payment processing. Travelers pay upfront, you get paid after.
Payment Protection
Funds held securely until trip completion. Protection for you and travelers.
Fast Payouts
Direct deposit on a weekly cadence. Track everything in your dashboard.
Multiple Currencies
Accept payments in multiple currencies. Get paid in your preferred currency.
