Baffi App and Marketplace FAQ for Guides
Take a look at some of the most common questions about the app and the marketplace. To learn more or start creating unique guided content, please contact us!
What is the Baffi App?
Baffi is an innovative travel platform that connects local guides with a worldwide audience. Built like a marketplace for local knowledge, the app allows any user to publish a travel or activity itinerary with media-rich digital content. Once ready, the content becomes a digital tour or activity aimed at self-guided travelers looking for unique “at my own pace” experiences. It supports both Apple IOS and Android-based devices.
How much does it cost?
Nothing! We created a free tool that makes it easier to connect local knowledge with tourists around the world.Whether you want to publish or discover content, there are no upfront costs associated with using the app. However, if you want to create an interesting and unique digital itinerary, investing a little time and creativity will help make content that stands out.
How do I earn money with Baffi?
Once your itinerary is created, it is placed on our marketplace where the potential clients (travelers) are able to review and purchase it. The itinerary is priced by you, while Baffi retains a small percentage of sale price when the transaction occurs.
I’m a professional guide. Will I lose my clients if I start to publish digital tours?
No, the digital tours on Baffi target an entirely different type of traveler, enabling you to greatly expand your client base while continuing your professional guide work. This is because Baffi content is geared towards travelers looking for unique, self-guided tours that are off the beaten path and not found in traditional guidebooks. Plus, your digital presence on Baffi will remind tourists of the quality of your local knowledge, helping you attract new clients for your in-person tours.
How do I get the app?
The Baffi app is available on Apple Store and Google Play. If you’d like to begin creating now, download the app, create an account and login.
How do I create content?
The app was created with the ease of use in mind. Tour/itinerary creation takes only a few moments and your content is ready to be published at the push of a button. All the required features, such as navigation and content management, are integrated into the app and you don’t need any other devices in order to create unique digital guided itineraries.
