Open standard
Direct Booking Protocol v1
Your profile is mapped to an open direct-booking metadata model, including a .well-known/direct-booking.json template for your own domain.
Direct booking infrastructure for accommodation owners
List your property. Get found by humans and AI agents.
Trippchain turns your official property facts into machine-readable direct booking evidence: proof tiers, JSON-LD, llms.txt, IndexNow, .well-known manifests, and the Direct Booking Protocol v1. Paid plans fund deeper verification work, not ranking advantage.
Why owners choose Trippchain
A direct booking surface built for the AI discovery era.
Guests still search with browsers. They also ask agents. Trippchain gives your property a verified, crawlable, standards-aligned profile that both can understand.
AI surface
MCP, UCP, REST, A2A, llms.txt
We maintain the machine-readable surfaces that AI crawlers and connector ecosystems can consume as those channels mature.
Commercial model
Zero commission, ever
Trippchain does not tax organic bookings. Plans pay for verification cadence, infrastructure work, and owner support.
Trust layer
Evidence-gated discovery
Publication Gate, proof tiers, and IndexNow keep public profiles fresh, auditable, and based on verified facts.
Owner plans
Three plans. One rule: nobody can buy ranking.
Choose the level of verification depth and operational support you need. Ranking remains evidence-driven across every plan.

Plan comparison
Paid tiers buy evidence depth, not preferential placement.
This is the commercial line we do not cross. If two properties have equal evidence, subscription status does not decide who ranks higher.

How it works
From signup to AI-readable direct booking evidence.
Verify your identity
Start with SumUp-powered KYC. The one-time Free tier fee exists to prevent spam and confirm that a real operator is behind the property.
Add your property
Submit direct booking paths, photos, policies, amenities, and optional PMS details depending on the plan you choose.
Get discovered
Trippchain maintains machine-readable evidence, publishes sitemap membership, and submits material updates to AI and search infrastructure where accepted.
Owner protection principles
Revenue-focused, but not pay-for-rank.
The offer is commercial, clear, and aggressive about distribution work. The ranking system remains governed by evidence and proof tiers.
Read the trust methodologyNo booking commission
Direct bookings stay yours. We do not charge per reservation or take a percentage of owner revenue.
Evidence-driven ranking only
Subscriptions fund data collection, verification cadence, and infrastructure work. They do not buy organic placement.
Cancel anytime
No lock-in. We recommend six months for evidence depth, but cancellation is free and future billing stops.
Open standards first
DBP v1, JSON-LD, .well-known manifests, and llms.txt make your direct channel portable beyond Trippchain.
FAQ
Straight answers before you pay.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Cancellation is free. Your paid period continues until the end of the current month, then future billing stops.
Do paid tiers rank higher?
No. Paid tiers buy verification depth, richer evidence, and distribution work. Ranking remains evidence-driven.
What is the minimum commitment?
There is no contractual minimum. We recommend six months because AI and search discovery compounds through repeated evidence refreshes.
Do I need a PMS?
No for Free and Professional. Enterprise can integrate PMS, channel manager, or iCal feeds when live availability and parity monitoring matter.
Can I publish .well-known/direct-booking.json on my own domain?
Yes. Professional includes a template, and Enterprise includes hands-on rollout support for owner-domain publication.
What if my evidence does not pass the gate?
You receive clear next steps. If we cannot verify identity at all, the KYC fee is refundable within the policy window.
Will you train ChatGPT to know my property?
No. External AI engines are not directly trainable by us. We publish and submit verified, machine-readable evidence so those systems can independently discover it.
