Trip unit tags help you label trips with useful guide-related details that matter to your operation. For example, you might tag a trip unit as Senior Guide, Junior Guide, Referral, New Guide, or any custom label that fits your workflow. Once a tag is in place, you can use it in Guide Rates to automatically add extra pay, like a flat dollar amount or a percentage-based bonus.
What Trip Unit Tags can be Used for
Trip unit tags let you mark a trip with details that may affect guide pay or internal tracking. These tags are flexible, so you can create the ones that make sense for your team.
Common examples include:
Senior Guide
Junior Guide
New Guide
Referral
Part-Time Guide
Patient Guide
These tags are especially helpful when certain trips should pay differently based on the guide’s role, experience, or how the trip came in.
How Trip Unit Tags Work with Guide Rates
You can create rules for tags so that when a tag is assigned to a trip unit, the matching pay rule is automatically applied. This can be set as either a fixed amount or a percentage.
This means you can automate additional guide pay based on the tag assigned to the trip, instead of adjusting payouts manually each time.
For example:
If a trip unit has the Senior Guide tag, you can create a rule that adds $20 to the guide’s pay.
If a trip unit has the Referral tag, you can create a rule that adds $50 as a referral incentive.
You can also set a percentage-based rule instead of a flat amount when needed.
Once the rule is set, the extra pay is applied automatically whenever that tagged trip matches the guide rate rule.
Example Use Cases
Senior guide bonus
Use a Senior Guide tag when certain guides should receive an added amount for their experience.
Example: add $20 automatically when the trip unit includes this tag.
Referral incentive
Use a Referral tag when a guide brought in the client or helped generate the booking.
Example: add $50 automatically for trips with that tag.
Role-based Pay Differences
Use tags like Junior Guide or Part-Time Guide when pay rules vary by guide type.
This helps keep pay consistent without needing to adjust each payout manually.
Why Use Tags
Using trip unit tags can help you:
automate extra guide pay
reduce manual payout adjustments
keep your pay rules consistent
track special trip circumstances more clearly
Trip unit tags give you a simple way to organize trips and automate guide pay at the same time. If certain trips need special pay treatment—like senior guide bonuses or referral incentives—tags make it easy to apply those rules consistently.
