Sell access to your map
Turn your best places, trails and local knowledge into a map visitors pay for. You set the price, and Zoneatlas handles payments and logins.
Make money with the map only you could make
You know the best beaches, the quiet trails and the places visitors would never find on their own. That knowledge is worth paying for. With Zoneatlas you can sell access to it as an interactive map that looks and feels like your brand. Zoneatlas paid maps are built for destination organisations, trail associations, map and guidebook publishers, and local guides.
- Destinations and islands. Sell a curated visitor map with your best places, beaches and trails.
- Trail networks and outdoor areas. Sell access to detailed routes, difficulty ratings or trail conditions.
- Guides and local experts. Turn your local knowledge into a product visitors can buy.
- Map and guidebook publishers. Sell a digital version of your printed map that stays up to date.

How selling access to your map works
- Build your map. Add places, routes and areas in Zoneatlas Manager, or import your existing locations.
- Choose what's paid. Sell the whole map or only selected content. Offer week, month, year or unlimited access, or create your own access levels at different prices.
- Get paid. Paid access is part of our Enterprise plan, which we set up with you. Visitors pay securely through Stripe.
- Share it. Share your map as a link or QR code, or embed it on your website. Buyers log in with their email and a one-time code, with no passwords to remember.
Your tips are worth more than a Google Maps list

Example
Know an island inside out? Sell the map.
Map the hidden coves, mountain villages and local favourites of an island like Mallorca, and add your own photos and stories.
Visitors get a free preview of every place, and a week or year pass unlocks the full guide. Share it with a QR code at hotels and holiday rentals, and get paid through Stripe.
Selling access to your map FAQ

support@zoneatlas.comCan I sell access to a Google My Maps map?
Google My Maps has no built-in way to take payments. You would have to add every buyer by hand, or share a public link that anyone can open. To sell access, you need a map with payments and logins built in, like Zoneatlas.
How do visitors pay and log in?
Visitors pay securely through Stripe. They log in with their email address and a one-time code sent to their inbox, so there are no passwords to remember.
Can buyers share the map with others?
Access is tied to the buyer's email address, so a forwarded link doesn't open the paid content.
What kind of access can I sell?
You decide. Offer week, month, year or unlimited access, or create your own access levels at different prices, for example access to more places, more detailed information or extra map features.
How much should I charge for my map?
Start from what visitors already pay for similar things, such as a printed map, a guidebook or a trail ticket. Short passes suit holiday visitors, and a year pass suits regulars.
How much does Zoneatlas cost?
Building your map is free. Selling access is part of our Enterprise plan: we agree the pricing with you, and Zoneatlas takes a small share of each sale. Get a price range for your project in under a minute with our price estimate, or book a demo to talk it through.
Can the map be in several languages?
Yes. With the automatic translations add-on, Zoneatlas translates your map content with AI, so international visitors can use the map in their own language.
Is Zoneatlas GDPR compliant?
Yes. All data is stored in the EU and encrypted at rest and in transit.
