Are you an activity provider, a guide or an excursion organiser looking to sell on Ceetiz to reach new travellers? This French platform lists thousands of activities in more than 400 destinations, from guided tours to musicals, and distributes them both directly and through a network of professional partners. For a provider, becoming a Ceetiz partner means getting your activities into that distribution circuit, in exchange for a commission. What’s left is to understand how the platform works: its payment model, how to sign up and the best practices for selling your activities well.
What is Ceetiz and which providers is the platform for?
Ceetiz is a French platform for booking tourist activities present in more than 400 destinations worldwide. You’ll find guided tours, tours, excursions, attraction tickets and even musicals. Its distinctive feature is its dual distribution: Ceetiz sells directly to the traveller, but also makes its activities available to a network of partners through a B2B portal, a distribution API and an affiliate platform. It is one of the platforms we place in context in our guide to OTAs, the online booking channels a provider can connect to. It is aimed at activity providers, guides and excursion organisers who want to widen their distribution without multiplying sales efforts.
What commission does Ceetiz charge partners?
Ceetiz’s model is simple to grasp: no setup fee and no monthly subscription. The platform only earns a commission, taken on the sales it generates. You get access to real-time reporting to track your sales and commissions, and payment comes monthly. Since the cost is directly tied to bookings, the point is to steer this channel finely: our article on sales tracking helps measure precisely what each platform brings, channel by channel.
| Item | With Ceetiz |
|---|---|
| Sign-up | Free, in two steps |
| Fixed fees | No setup fee or monthly subscription |
| Model | Commission on sales made |
| Tracking and payment | Real-time reporting, monthly commission payout |
This no-fixed-fee model means you pay nothing until you sell: Ceetiz only has an interest if it actually brings you bookings.
💡 Good to know: Like every marketplace, Ceetiz reports the amount of sales made through the platform to the tax authorities each year, and sends you a summary. This is the European DAC7 framework (impots.gouv.fr). Remember to reconcile these amounts with your accounting.
Why sell your activities on Ceetiz?
For a provider, Ceetiz’s appeal lies in its dual distribution, direct and through its partner network. The concrete benefits are as follows:
- A wider distribution: your activities reach travellers directly and through a B2B network.
- A presence in more than 400 destinations, useful for capturing a travelling clientele.
- A no-fixed-fee model, where you only pay on performance.
- A channel that complements your direct sales, with no heavy sales effort.
As always with marketplaces, the goal is not to bet everything on a single channel, but to add one that brings you extra customers. It is also a concrete way to find new customers without inflating your advertising budget.
How do you become a partner on Ceetiz?
Joining Ceetiz as a partner takes three steps, with no entry fee. The sign-up itself is quick, with the essentials then playing out on the quality of your listings.
Step 1: sign up as a partner
The first step is to create your partner account: Ceetiz advertises a free sign-up in two very simple steps. You enter your business and the type of activities you offer. A sales contact can complete the onboarding. Prepare before you start:
- Your company information and contact details.
- The list of activities you want to distribute.
- The destinations and areas where you operate.
Step 2: present and set up your activities
You then detail your activities: titles, descriptions, prices, durations and availability. This step is still free and prepares your listing for sale. The quality and clarity of your listings determine whether they are picked up, including by the B2B partners in the network. For each activity, provide:
- The type of service (tour, day trip, excursion, ticket, show).
- Your prices and price categories (adult, child, group).
- The availability calendar and departure points.
Step 3: track your sales and commissions
Once your activities are live, publishing costs nothing: you only pay the commission on sales. You get access to real-time reporting to track your bookings and commissions, paid monthly. To avoid letting this channel run on its own, tie it to your booking management. Keep an eye on:
- The volume of bookings generated by Ceetiz.
- The consistency of your prices between Ceetiz and your other channels.
- The slots to adjust according to demand.

On a platform that also distributes B2B, complete and up-to-date listings circulate better across the whole network. These best practices also apply when you sell on Civitatis and on most activity platforms.
- Fill in each listing 100%: the more detailed an activity, the better it stands out and resells.
- Polish the visuals: sharp, representative photos increase the conversion rate.
- Collect reviews: the rating weighs on ranking and reassures buyers.
- Keep your calendar up to date so you never sell a slot that is already full.
⚠️ Warning! When a platform also distributes B2B, the same activity can be sold by several partners at once. Without real-time synchronisation of your calendars, the risk of overselling rises accordingly, with an unhappy customer and a negative review to match.
How does Tourbiz simplify connecting to Ceetiz?
Since Ceetiz offers a distribution API, the challenge for a provider is to sync their inventory without double entry. That is exactly where we come in. At Tourbiz, we centralise your bookings and availability in a single back office, designed for tourism professionals.
Concretely, rather than managing a separate Ceetiz calendar, you sync it with the rest of your business through our OTA integrations: an activity created once is distributed and kept up to date automatically. Here is what we automate for our clients:
- The real-time synchronisation of availability, to avoid overselling between Ceetiz, your site and other platforms.
- The centralisation of Ceetiz bookings in the same calendar as the rest of your business.
- The creation of products only once, then distributed to the connected channels.
- Sales tracking per channel, to measure precisely what Ceetiz brings you.
The result: Ceetiz becomes an additional source of bookings, with no double entry and no overbooking. The technical side stops being a hurdle and becomes a simple setting.
🎯 Our tip: At Tourbiz, our clients present on several platforms tell us the real gain is not opening one more channel, but keeping every calendar up to date without thinking about it. That is exactly what the channel manager does for them, channel after channel.
