Partner Program
The full rate card
One simple principle: you pay commission only on the bookings we actually refer to you. Nothing is charged on the bookings you win on your own.
Your tier is based on the total value of the bookings we send you over a rolling twelve months. As that value grows, your commission rate falls automatically — so the more business we bring you, the less you pay on each booking.
| Tier | Commission | Referred bookings / year | What it unlocks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Launch Partner | 20% | Up to $5,000 | Your verified listing, placement inside matching itineraries, and monthly reporting. |
| Preferred Partner | 17% | $5,000 – $15,000 | Higher placement priority within your island and category, plus concierge referrals. |
| Signature Partner | 15% | $15,000 – $40,000 | Featured positioning on your island page and richer listing content. |
| Flagship Partner | 12% | $40,000 – $100,000 | Top-of-category placement and priority in concierge recommendations. |
| Exclusive Island Partner | 10% | Over $100,000 | Our lowest rate and standout positioning as a defining experience on your island. |
How your tier is worked out
We add up the value of every booking we refer to you across a rolling twelve-month window. That running total decides your tier. When it crosses a threshold, your rate on future bookings drops to the lower tier — you never have to renegotiate, and we never raise your rate for a slow season.
What you are never charged for
- Applying to be listed — it is free, and nothing is charged until we refer a booking.
- Bookings that come to you directly or through your own channels.
- Being featured in an itinerary that does not convert into a booking.
Commission Referral vs Concierge Booking
Under Commission Referral, the traveller books and pays you directly, and you remit the agreed commission on referred bookings. Under Concierge Booking, we take the traveller's payment, deduct the commission, and pass the balance to you — useful if you cannot take online payment yet. The rate card above applies to both; the difference is simply who collects the money.
Dining Partners
Restaurants are priced differently. The percentage commission tiers above do not apply to dining partners — your monthly statement will show either your flat fee or your confirmed covers, never a percentage of bookings. You choose one of two options:
Option A
Flat monthly
$49/month (or $399/year)
Your listing, your Compass Pass guests and full reporting. Nothing charged per booking, however many travellers we send.
Option B
Pay per cover
$4.00 per confirmed cover
Nothing monthly. $4.00 for each traveller who arrives and dines with you, capped at 10% of the table's bill. No-shows are never charged.
Where you haven't entered a bill, we apply your cap using the average bill you gave us at sign-up. You can enter actual bills any time to refine it.
Which option costs less?
At $4.00 a cover, the two options cost about the same at around 12 covers a month. Below that, paying per cover is cheaper; above it, the flat fee is.
| Covers a month | Pay per cover | Flat monthly | Lower cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | $20 | $49 | Pay per cover |
| 8 | $32 | $49 | Pay per cover |
| 10 | $40 | $49 | Pay per cover |
| 12 | $48 | $49 | Pay per cover |
| 13 | $52 | $49 | Flat monthly |
| 15 | $60 | $49 | Flat monthly |
| 20 | $80 | $49 | Flat monthly |
| 30 | $120 | $49 | Flat monthly |
Per-cover figures are the most you would pay — the 10% cap can only bring them down. On the annual plan ($399, about $33 a month) the crossover is nearer 8 covers a month.
Choosing and switching
Restaurants choose an option when they sign up. You may switch at any 12-month anniversary of your start date by giving us 30 days' notice.
Every rate here is an honest, published number. Placement is a paid commercial arrangement that we disclose to travellers, and ratings are never for sale.
