Migration guide
Switching from VisaHQ Widgets?
Four steps, about 10 minutes. You can run both side by side during the transition.
Export your VisaHQ Widgets config
List the widgets you use today on each post, and note the destinations / passport codes you pre-filled. You'll re-use these as data-* attributes on the Orizn embed.
Paste the Orizn snippet
Replace the VisaHQ Widgets embed with two lines of HTML: a container div and an async script tag. Works the same in WordPress, Ghost, Substack, Webflow and raw HTML.
Set your affiliate code
Add data-affiliate="ORIZN-XXXXX" on every container β both ORIZN-β¦ and aff_β¦ code formats are accepted. Every conversion through the widget is tracked back to your account for 30 days.
Monitor in the dashboard
Open embed.orizn.app/dashboard to see views, clicks, conversions and payouts in real time β no upgrade required.
Honest trade-off
When VisaHQ Widgets might be the better fit
VisaHQ is the incumbent here, and a serious one: they have run visa widgets for over 15 years, process applications themselves, and their widget is lighter than ours. If your content is purely about visa applications β especially corporate travel β their suite is a legitimate choice. Orizn's case is breadth and control: five travel widgets instead of a visa-only suite, 16 languages instead of 5, a live builder anyone can use without talking to a sales team, white-label theming, and a flat 50% share you can verify in your dashboard. Many sites can even run both: VisaHQ for application fulfillment content, Orizn for everything else on the trip.
FAQ
Questions about switching
Is Orizn Widgets a free alternative to VisaHQ Widgets?
Both are free to embed. The difference is scope and earnings: Orizn covers 5 travel topics (visa, budget, passport score, country comparison, checklist) in 16 languages with a flat 50% revenue share, while VisaHQ focuses on visa services in 5 languages and monetizes through its own application funnel.
What is the main difference between the two visa checker widgets?
VisaHQ's checker routes readers toward VisaHQ's visa-application service. Orizn's checker answers the visa question in the reader's language, then adds budget, passport-score and guide context β and lets you earn on partner services with your own code.
Can I white-label either widget?
Orizn: yes β data-branding="off" removes the footer and the full palette is overridable via --orizn-* CSS variables, free. VisaHQ does not document white-label options on its public widgets page.
Which one earns more for a travel blog?
It depends on your content. Pure visa-application content may convert well through VisaHQ's managed funnel. Mixed travel content usually earns more with Orizn's 50% flat share across guides, insurance, eSIM and activity partners β and you can track every click by placement.
Can I use both on the same site?
Yes. They load independently, and their scopes barely overlap outside the visa checker. Some publishers run VisaHQ on application-focused pages and Orizn's suite on destination guides.
