How it works
1. Get your link. Apply once. We review applications within 5 business days and send you your own referral code.
2. Share it. Add your code to any Creatrip product link and post it wherever you already share Korea. Blog, YouTube, Instagram, a group chat, anywhere.
3. Earn. When someone clicks your link and books within 30 days on the same device and browser, you earn a commission on what they paid.
You can promote hanbok and school uniform rentals, attraction tickets, K-beauty treatments, hair salons, transport passes, and professional photo shoots.
If you would rather build something together and include your referral link in it, we are open to that too. Write to us at collabo@creatrip.com.
How much you earn
How much you earn depends on the product.
| Full-payment products | 8% of the amount paid. A small number of low-margin products, such as transport passes, pay less than 8% |
| Deposit bookings | 40% of the deposit. These are bookings where the customer pays a deposit online and the rest in store |
| Selected products | A flat 2,000 to 4,000 KRW per booking instead of a percentage, including some bookings the customer pays nothing for online |
Deposit bookings are worth knowing about. A 260,000 KRW deposit pays you 104,000 KRW.
Your dashboard shows the exact commission earned on every single booking, so you never have to guess.
Commission is confirmed on the day the customer actually uses the service, not on the day they book. So a booking made in July for an August appointment becomes confirmed earnings in August.
We give at least 30 days' notice by email before any commission rate changes, and new rates only apply to orders placed after that notice.
How you get paid
Payouts run on a fixed monthly cycle.
| When | What happens |
|---|---|
| Through the month | Commission accumulates as customers use their bookings |
| 10th of the next month | If your confirmed earnings passed 50,000 KRW, we email you a payout notice |
| By the 20th | Reply to request your payout. Requests cannot be cancelled after this date |
| 5th of the month after that | Payment arrives |
If you do not reply within 5 days, your payout simply rolls over to the next month. Nothing is lost.
For your first payout you also sign a contract and submit an ID and bank account details. After that, a reply is all it takes.
If you live in Korea: we withhold 3.3% income tax and transfer the rest to your Korean bank account. No transfer fees.
If you live outside Korea: an international transfer fee is deducted.
| Country | Currency | Transfer fee | FX fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| Taiwan | USD | USD 21 | 0.40% |
| Japan | JPY | USD 14 | 0.80% |
| United States | USD | USD 7 | 0.35% |
We use the first mid-market rate published by Hana Bank on the last day of the previous month. Because the fixed fee is charged per transfer, letting your earnings build up over a few months usually leaves you with more.
Prefer to skip the fees entirely? You can convert your earnings into Creatrip points from 5,000 KRW, at 1:1, with no fee at all.
You do not need to be an influencer
If you are studying or working in Korea and want to share what you like about it while earning something on the side, you are exactly who this is for.
Large influencers bring reach, but we care just as much about people actually living here. And if you hold a long-term Korean residence permit, you can receive your earnings straight into a Korean bank account in won, with no foreign exchange or transfer fees at all.
FAQ
How long does the review take?
Up to 5 business days. Once you are approved, you receive your own referral code.
How do I use my referral link?
Add your code to the end of any Creatrip product link. For example:
https://creatrip.com/en/spot/11239?utm_source=YOURCODE
Use the link builder in your dashboard rather than copying the URL out of your browser's address bar. Address bar URLs often carry extra parameters that break tracking.
Where can I put my link?
Anywhere you post: a blog review, a YouTube description, an Instagram bio or story, a newsletter, a forum reply, a message to a friend. There is no restriction on placement.
How is my commission calculated?
When someone clicks your link and completes a valid purchase within 30 days on the same device and browser, you earn a commission on the amount they paid. On a product paying 8%, a 120,000 KRW order earns you 9,600 KRW.
Do they have to buy the exact product I linked to?
No. Once they have clicked your link, anything they book within those 30 days counts, whichever product it is.
What happens if the customer cancels?
A cancelled booking means the commission is cancelled too. If the customer is partially refunded, the refunded portion is excluded and you earn on the remaining amount.
My dashboard number changed. Why?
Your dashboard separates estimated earnings from confirmed earnings. Estimated figures move as bookings are used, changed or cancelled. Confirmed earnings do not change.
When exactly do I get paid?
See the payout table above. In short: notice on the 10th, request by the 20th, payment on the 5th of the month after that.
How do I actually receive the money?
Into your bank account. Residents of Korea receive won directly after 3.3% withholding tax. Everyone else receives an international transfer with the fees shown above deducted. You can also take your earnings as Creatrip points instead, from 5,000 KRW, with no fee.
I am already in other affiliate programs. Can I still join?
Yes. We do not ask for exclusivity.
Which products earn commission?
Travel products. Accommodation, insurance, shopping and language school products are not eligible.
