You have two options for sharing re-branded releases with non-GUIBO partners:

1. Create self-managed partner accounts - You manage the accocunt. - You have to setup and care about the look and feel. - You have to send the release-link for each booking to the agency.

2. Invite your agency for a GUIBO free account - Your agency/reseller is invited to create a free GUIBO account. - In a ~20min video call, the GUIBO team shows how to setup the account. - Now, you can simply share releases with this agencies/reseller by setting the "seller" field.

Create self-managed partner accounts or invite your agencies/resellers

1. Click Guibo Network in the left menu

2. Click the orange plus button

3. Enter two key details:

   1. The name of the agency

   2. The e-mail address you use for logging in

      1. Use youre e-mail address for self-managed accounts

      2. Use your agency/reseller's e-mail address for an invitation

4. Voilà: The account is ready. You can now set this agency as a seller when creating releases. See below how to setup the agency's look & feel (click).

2.3 Here's how the re-branding for agencies/resellers looks like

When an agency/reseller is assigned to a release, GUIBO automatically adapts the content to match the agency's brand identity. Here's how this looks like:

What is re-branded...
Re-branded Release Page Replaces the operator's logo with the agency's logo Updates the main color scheme to match the agency's brand colors Re-branded release page for agencies/resellers
Re-branded App Links the agency app within the release page When no agency app exists, the GUIBO app is linked within the release page For downloaded guidebooks, the agency logo is displayed. The organizer of the trip is indicated under the title. See blow. Re-branded app look & feel for agencies/resellers
Re-branded Roadbook PDF Applies the agency's cover for the roadbook's first and last page Re-branded roadbook cover page

2.4 How to customize the re-branding for agencies?

The re-branding process relies on the agency's GUIBO account settings: When an operator is sharing a release with you, your look & feel settings will be applied for the re-branding.

For partner accounts (representing agencies without GUIBO), you'll need to configure branding settings within the partner account itself.

Asset	How to change
Logo	Account settings -> general settings -> logo upload
Main color	Account settings -> general settings -> main color
Roadbook agency cover	For GUIBO accounts only: Submit a support ticket for customization. Note: This feature isn't available for partner accounts.

2.5 Here's how tour operator and seller download codes are managed

Shared releases have two download codes: A tour operator download code which typically refers to the operator's booking code. Shared releases also have a seller download code which can be set by the operator or by the agency/reseller.

What does this mean for travellers when downloading the guidebook in the App?

• As outlined above, the agency/reseller's app is linked on the release page for shared releases

• The same is true for the download code: It's the seller id and the seller download code which is presented on the release page

• When using the GUIBO App (agency/reseller has no white-label app), your travelers can use both combinations to download the guidebook:

  • Tour Operator Id + Tour Operator Download Code

  • Seller Id + Seller Download Code

Here's how you can define both download codes for the operator and the reseller/agency

• Tour Operator Download Code Set by the operator when creating a release (via Webportal or API).

• Seller Download Code

  • When creating a release via API

    • The operator can set any specific download code for the seller.

    • When the operator does not set a specific download code for the seller, GUIBO sets a specific default seller download code for this release.

  • When creating a release via Webportal

    • When creating a release, setting a specific seller download code is not yet possible

    • In this case, GUIBO always sets a default seller download code

    • Operator as well as the seller can change the seller download code in the release dashboard
