The 7-day free trial of an agent website: what you get and what happens after
By Idea Holiday team · Updated 26 Oct 2026 · 3 min read
The easiest way to find out whether your own booking website suits your agency is to run one. This guide explains the free trial: who can use it, what is switched on, what still costs money, and what happens on the last day.
Who can start it
You start the trial by pressing Start free trial on the website page. It can be used once per account and once per PAN, and your PAN must be verified first. No card is needed.
What you get
Every website gets every feature, with or without a plan: your own pages, offer cards, a home page slider, destination pages, a blog, all five designs, Google search settings, Google Analytics and Meta Pixel settings, visitor and booking statistics, an enquiry inbox, promo codes, and no Idea Holiday line in your footer. A plan only adds online booking for your customers and sub-agents.
During the trial, agents get that online booking for 7 days without a plan fee.
What still costs money
The usual per-booking website fee still applies to bookings made during the trial. The current amounts are on the pricing page.
Things worth trying during the trial
- Fill empty sections with sample content, then edit it to suit your business.
- Choose your products and set your markup.
- Publish the website and share the link on WhatsApp, or print the QR poster.
- Create a promo code. The discount comes out of your markup only and never goes below your net price and the website fee.
- Add a destination page and write a blog post.
- Look at your visitor statistics and your booking funnel: searches, customers who reached payment, and paid bookings.
- Check the list of unfinished bookings, with Call, WhatsApp and Email buttons for customers who did not pay.
Buying a plan during the trial
You can buy a plan at any time. It starts when the trial ends, so you lose no days. We remind you 2 days before the trial ends.
What happens when it ends
If you did not buy a plan, booking stops. Your website, your content and your free address keep working, so you can come back and buy a plan whenever you are ready.
