1

2

Create Categories

Click “Add Category” and create categories based on service types you offer
3

Add Core Categories

Start with essential categories like:
  • Accommodation
  • Activities
  • Transportation
  • Dining
  • Tours & Guides
You can have as many categories as you need, but it’s recommended to have at least 10 services per category. To make subcategories, use tags. For example, for “Accommodation” create tags like “Hotel” and “Apartment”.
You can only delete a category if it has no services assigned to it. To delete a category with services, first reassign all services to a different category. Alternatively, you can edit and rename the category - all services will automatically use the new name.

​

2

Add Areas Within Countries

Click “Add Area”, select the country, and add the specific location name (city, region, or destination)

4

Map Areas to Google Maps (Recommended)

After creating an area, click the edit icon and map it to the corresponding Google Maps location. This enables interactive maps on proposals showing trip destinations.
Areas appear on itineraries that travellers see, so use clear, recognizable destination names. Add areas where you actually operate - don’t create areas with no services yet. Map all your areas to Google Maps locations when you first create them to enable interactive maps on proposals.
About Maps on Proposals: When areas are mapped to Google Maps locations, proposals automatically display an interactive map in the overview section showing all destinations. This helps travellers visualize the geographical scope of their journey.
You can only delete a country if it has no areas assigned to it. You can only delete an area if it has no services assigned to it. To delete an area with services, first reassign all services to a different area.
