Kiwi.com offers an affiliate program that allows travel content creators and marketers to monetize traffic by promoting its unique "virtual interlining" technology. This proprietary algorithm searches and combines segments from over 800 carriers—including those that do not traditionally collaborate—to provide users with cost-effective, multi-modal travel itineraries involving flights, trains, and buses. For affiliates, this translates to a high-value inventory that often undercuts standard search engine prices, increasing the likelihood of conversion for budget-conscious audiences.

The program is primarily managed through major affiliate networks such as Travelpayouts, Webgains, and Awin. Affiliates typically earn a commission based on the full booking price of confirmed travel. The platform supports over 60 languages and provides various currencies, making it suitable for global traffic. One of the key selling points for affiliates is the Kiwi.com Guarantee, which protects travelers against delays and cancellations, thereby building trust and reducing booking hesitation among referred users.

Affiliates are provided with a range of marketing tools, including deep links, customizable widgets, and banners. The program follows a last-click attribution model and generally offers a 30-day cookie window, providing a reasonable period for users who browse and compare before finalizing their travel plans. It is important to note that Kiwi.com has moved some B2B services to an invitation-only model on its Tequila platform, focusing on strategic partnerships, while the standard affiliate program remains accessible through public networks for bloggers and website owners. Prohibited methods include brand bidding, pop-unders, and promoting via unauthorized promo codes. Commission is only paid on "Paid" bookings that have not been canceled.
