Anyone!  Simply login to your Tour Taker account from a desktop computer.  Follow the prompts to add a Tour Creator account to your Tour Taker account.  Once this is complete, you can begin creating tours.

Building tours is easy with Built Story! No programming necessary. We built the tech, so that you can focus on the tour content itself. 

The first step in creating a tour is to register as a Tour Creator.  Start, or log in, here.

To become a Tour Creator is simple! In a nutshell: first, sign up as a Tour Taker.  This is always the first step – it’s quick and easy!  Once in your Tour Taker dashboard, you’ll see a button to “Register to Create Tours”.  Follow those steps… and Voilà! You are a Tour Creator.  It’s always free to register as a Tour Creator. 

At this time, no. But keep your eye out for updates on this policy.

Yes! You can enter text, and upload video and audio in any language of your choice.

When building your tour, there is a drop down menu of languages that you can use to categorize your tour.  If your desired language is not present, we recommend stating the language in your description of tour, and in your tour highlights.  This way, Tour Takers can quickly spot tours posted in their preferred language.

When users purchase tours through an iPhone: Apple, unfortunately, holds all revenue flow for up to 75 days, before releasing to Built Story.  Once in receipt, Built Story will work to pay Tour Creators as quickly as possible.

When users purchase tours through an Android, however: this delay does not exist. Tour Creators will receive payment for tours sold to Android users in 3-5 business days.

All tours are sold to Tour Takers at $10 each.  This revenue will be split between the Tour Creator, and support of the Built Story platform.  Built Story absorbs all of the fees associated with self-guided touring, so that this is not your headache! Tour Creators receive  $4.82 per tour sold on our platform.

Built Story uses Stripe.com for all payment processing.  You can build tours in countries where Stripe.com, our payment processor, has reciprocal agreements.  Once Stripe is supported in your country, you’ll be able to accept payments from customers who live anywhere in the world.

Yes.  No matter where the Tour Taker normally resides, Built Story (via Stripe.com, our payment processor) can process their payment and we will submit it to you.

Yes, absolutely! Just log back in to your Tour Creator dashboard. There, you’ll see that you can edit all of your tours.  You can edit everything, with only one exception. Once you have declared that your tour is walking / bicycle / or driving – you cannot change that.  Everything else can be edited once published.

We can consult with you, to best market your published tours!  We might: create and distribute press releases; create social media advertising; commit to event calendars around town; distribute email  announcements to our newsletter list, etc.
