What you can sell
You can sell a trip you built yourself, from scratch.
Forked trips can never be sold — however much you change one. If you started from someone else's public trip, the fork mechanism is for your own personal customization, not for commercial resale. To sell a route inspired by someone else's, build it as an original trip.
You must also hold the rights to everything in it: your own words, your own photos, and place data you are permitted to use commercially.
List it
- Open the trip and go to its settings.
- Select Sell this trip.
- Enter a price in dollars. Platix suggests $19 to $79 as a starting range, depending on the trip's depth and specificity.
- Review what stays public — the dialog lists it exactly.
- Select Start selling.
The trip's visibility switches to premium. Anyone can see its free preview; signed-in buyers can unlock the complete itinerary when purchases are enabled.
What stays public
- Title, overview, and trip length
- Day 1 in full
- The places you stay, day by day
- Up to three highlights from the locked days
Day 1 does real work: it is what convinces someone to buy, and it is the part search engines can index. Make it genuinely good rather than holding everything back.
Before your first sale — read this twice
Once a trip sells, its itinerary is locked permanently. You will not be able to edit it again. This protects buyers, who paid for a specific plan.
So finish the trip before listing it. Check spelling, check every stop, make sure the days are in the order you mean.
After a sale you can still:
- Post updates (see Keep a sold trip current)
- Change the price, for new buyers
- Stop selling it
- Publish a revised version as a new trip
Changing your mind
Change the price any time — it applies to new buyers only; nobody is charged again or refunded a difference.
Stop selling any time. Existing buyers keep permanent access; that is part of what they bought. The trip stops being offered to anyone new.
Free listings
A price of $0 is allowed. The trip still requires an account to unlock, which makes it useful as an introduction to your paid work.
