How a hotel can earn from guests who arrive without data
Updated November 2026
Why it works here
The problem shows up at check-in, not online
Guests arrive at an airport with no data, no working maps and no way to reach you. The taxi goes wrong, the late arrival is unannounced, and the first conversation of the stay is an apology. A link in the booking confirmation is the cheapest fix there is.
Nothing to stock, nothing to hand over
An eSIM is delivered by email as a QR code. There is no SIM tray, no inventory, no cash at the desk and nothing to lose. Your staff never touch it.
It works in the gap you already have
Between booking and arrival you send a confirmation email, a check-in reminder, maybe directions. The eSIM link belongs in those messages, where the guest is already paying attention and still has wi-fi.
How it works
- You get a discount code and a personal link. The guest saves money and you earn commission on every confirmed order.
- Put the link where you already talk to guests: the booking confirmation, the pre-arrival email, the room directory, the wi-fi landing page, a QR card at reception.
- We pay monthly once the eSIMs are delivered. You see every order and what it earned in your partner area.
- Nothing is exclusive. Keep whatever you already offer.
Free to join, no sales target, nothing exclusive.
Who this is not for
Said plainly, so nobody signs up for something we cannot give them.
- Hotels whose guests are mostly domestic: a traveller who has not crossed a border does not need a travel eSIM.
- Anyone hoping to resell at their own price. This is a commission on our price, not wholesale.
- Properties that want a physical product for the front desk. There is nothing physical to display.
Questions
Does it cost anything to join?
No. There is no fee, no sales target and no commitment. If it earns you nothing it has cost you nothing.
Do we have to handle support?
No. The guest buys from us and we support them directly, including refunds. You are not in the middle, which is the point: you get the goodwill without the work.
What if a guest asks for a refund?
They ask us and we handle it. A refunded order simply does not earn commission; nothing is clawed back from money already paid to you beyond that order.

Clinics and medical travel
A patient flying in for treatment needs to reach you from the airport, send documents before they arrive and call home afterwards. Mobile data is the one thing that makes all three possible, and it is usually the thing nobody arranged. Offering it before the flight removes a real anxiety and earns the clinic a commission.
Travel agencies and tour operators
You already sell flights, transfers, insurance and excursions. Mobile data is the one thing every traveller needs, that almost nobody arranges, and that costs them the most when they get it wrong. It adds a margin per booking with no stock, no supplier account and no operational work.
Travel creators
Your audience already asks which eSIM you use. The risk in answering is that you recommend something that fails in a country you have never been to, and you hear about it. What you want is a plan you can describe accurately, a code that saves your audience money, and a company that refunds people properly when something goes wrong.
Schools and exchange programmes
A student arriving for a semester needs data on day one (to reach the school, find the accommodation and tell their family they landed) and usually cannot get a local SIM until they have a local address and sometimes a residence document. A travel eSIM covers exactly that gap, and the school earns on each one.
Event and conference organisers
Attendees fly in for a few days and need data the moment they land: to reach the venue, find the hotel and keep up with the schedule. Offering a discounted eSIM in your registration emails solves a problem they all have, and you earn commission on every one they buy.
