What is the White Label?
White Label by Travelpayouts is a search tool for Aviasales airline tickets and Hotellook hotels integrated into your website and designed with your branding.
If you have White Label, the user will see search results from search forms or widgets directly on your site. Without White Label, the user is redirected to aviasales.ru or hotellook.ru after clicking Search. Thus, White Label increases the chance of a purchase because the user does not need to spend time interacting with other pages.

White Label is set up independently by a partner. Basic HTML and CSS knowledge is required.
How to get your own White Label
- You must have your own second-level domain (e.g. website.com). White Label can also be configured for any level below the second: the third level (travel.website.com), the fourth level (search.travel.website.com), and so on.
- You should be able to create a CNAME record for the domain. To do this, you can use the following:
- free DNS hosting, for example, Cloudflare, Hurricane Electric, or others;
- settings at the domain registrar — some of them support the creation of a CNAME record. Check this with the registrar itself;
- regular hosting for websites. Note that you may not be able to configure the White Label on hosting services if they do not have the ability to edit the DNS record.
- Configure DNS for the White Label. You should first register a CNAME record and then create a White Label in your user dashboard.
- Create White Label in your affiliate dashboard.
- Adjust White Label settings tools settings.
How to set up White Label on the hosting
1. Go to the DNS settings of your domain.
2. Create the CNAME record for the domain in the DNS settings on your hosting. The CNAME record should look as follows: “avia.your-website-name.com IN CNAME whitelabel.travelpayouts.com.” (“avia” is just an example, you can use your own domain name).
Setting up a White Label on the primary domain
1. Set up a 301 redirect of the domain your-website-name.com to www.your-website-name.com.
You can do it with the help of the hosting panel (don’t forget about redirecting from https) or use the htaccess file. To do this in the root directory of your website you must create the file “.htaccess” with the following content (if the file already exists, simply add this entry to it):
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^[^.]+\.[^.]+$
RewriteCond %{HTTPS}s ^on(s)|
RewriteRule ^ http%1://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
2. Set up forwarding from www.your-website-name.com to whitelabel.travelpayouts.com.
To do this create a CNAME record in the DNS settings of your hosting. The CNAME record should look like: “www.your-website-name.com IN CNAME whitelabel.travelpayouts.com.”.
You can find examples of creating CNAME records in different control panels here.
3. Wait up to 72 hours after you created CNAME in domain settings and the White Label setup is finished.
Important warning: a record like “*.your-domain.com IN A 192.168.0.1” (where the IP address of your website is specified instead of 192.168.0.1) may block the CNAME record.
Note for experienced webmasters: you can configure A record for the master domain without using www and redirect. As a result, the White Label will open on the master domain (or any subdomain for which you will create an A record). The only restriction is that the IP address of the White Label, which is specified in the A record, may change. We do not inform you about the change of address anywhere, so you need to track it yourself.
