If you have TravelPayouts WhiteLabel, the search results will be displayed on a subdomain of your website. You can set it up by navigating to Theme Settings > Affiliate Configure > TravelPayouts > Use Whitelabel.

If you do not have TravelPayouts WhiteLabel, the search form will redirect to the TravelPayouts search page. In this case, skip Section 2(Setup WhiteLable) and proceed to Section 3(Setup Search Form)

2.1. Create TravelPayouts WhiteLabel subdomain

To get started, you need to create a CNAME Record for your domain in your hosting’s DNS settings. Your White Label subdomain will typically be something like search.yourdomain.com.
In the DNS settings, set the CNAME Record to point to whitelabel.travelpayouts.com and make sure to set up SSL. The setup process may look slightly different if you do not use Cloudflare Nameserver, but the general steps remain the same.

Go to Travelpayouts and log in to your accounts, click the Tools on the sidebar

Next, choose the White Label to create a new affiliate program

Scroll down to select the Hotellook and click to the Tools

Then, click to White Label to create a new one. Or you can click this link

Insert your sub-domain on the Domain tab and change the color background of the sub-domain on the Colors tab. You can also set the default language and default currency.

Click Save and Updates when finished
