# Managing Your Trips

> Create, publish, and sell your trip guides — your content library, always at hand

# Managing Your Trips

Your trips are the heart of your Rooutie business. Whether you're building destination guides, client proposals, or itineraries to sell — this is where you manage everything: create, edit, publish, and track.

Access your trip library via **Content → My Itineraries** in your business dashboard.

## Creating a Trip

Click **Create Trip** to start a new itinerary. You have four ways to build:

| Method                 | Best for                                                                                 |
| ---------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Ask the AI**         | Generating a complete itinerary for a destination quickly — great for destination guides |
| **Start from Scratch** | Full manual control over every step                                                      |
| **Paste Notes**        | Converting rough ideas or client briefs into a structured plan                           |
| **Generate from URL**  | Turning a blog post, article, or website into a real itinerary                           |

## Trip Status

Each trip has a status that controls its visibility:

| Status        | Visible to                                                                       |
| ------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Draft**     | Only you and your team                                                           |
| **Published** | Everyone — appears in your public profile, Linktree, and Rooutie's explore pages |

Publish when it's ready to share. Keep it in Draft while you're still working on it.

## Selling a Trip

Want to monetise your guides? Set a price on any trip to make it a paid download.

> Before you can sell trips, you must connect your payment account in **Monetisation → Payments**.

Once payments are connected:

1. Open the trip in the editor.
2. Set a price via the trip menu.
3. The price is displayed on the trip card everywhere it appears.
4. Sales are tracked in the Analytics section.

Rooutie handles payment processing through Stripe. The platform fee is 10% — you keep the rest, paid directly to your bank account.

## Team-Created Trips

If you have team members (publishers) on your account, their published trips automatically appear in your business trip library and on your public profile. You get a full content team working under your brand.

## Pro Tips

* Use **tags** to make your trips discoverable in the right searches — see [Trip Tags](/user-manual/trip-tags).
* Add a **custom cover image** to make your trip cards stand out in listings.
* Write a compelling **trip description** — this is what shows on your public profile and search results.
