Where do I find it?
CONFIGURATION > CHANNELS > Default product page URL
What does it mean?
Every tour you set up in TourCMS includes a Product page URL—a direct link to the corresponding tour page on your website—for each channel configured in your account. Affiliates use this URL to send traffic directly to your website, and Online Travel Agencies (OTAs) use it to learn more about your products.
What about default Product page URLs?
Previously, if a product page URL was not imported automatically from a connected reservation subsystem, TourCMS generated a placeholder URL using a fixed, hard-coded format. Because that format rarely matched your actual website structure, tour URLs had to be updated manually one by one in the TourCMS back office. Now, you can customise this default Product page URL format at the channel level so that newly created tours automatically follow your website’s URL structure.
If you don’t have product pages for some/all of your tours
If you do not have dedicated product pages for some or all of your tours, you can optionally set a general fallback URL (such as your homepage or main tours catalogue) or a dynamic URL pattern here. TourCMS will automatically apply this default format whenever new tours are created, while still allowing you to customise URLs for individual tours in their respective Tour settings. If you leave this field blank, TourCMS will continue to auto-generate a standard URL.
What should I do?
How to configure the default Product page URL
To set up your default Product page URL template for a channel, navigate to Configuration > Channels (Channel Manager) and click on Default product page URL:
Next, define the URL template that you want TourCMS to use for the selected channel and save your changes:
You can use dynamic placeholders in your template so TourCMS populates the tour and channel details automatically. For example, if you configure the template as tours/{tour_id}_{channel_id}, the resulting Product page URL for Tour 134 on Channel 3930 will automatically resolve to tours/134_3930.
You can verify or customise the Product page URL for any individual tour at any time by going to Tours > Descriptions & Images > Product Page URLs:
Good to know
- Tour-level overrides: This channel setting only defines the default URL. If you manually edit the URL for a specific tour on its Descriptions & Images page, that custom URL takes priority, and TourCMS will ignore any future changes made to the channel’s default URL for that particular tour.
