Affiliate program

Bring a business to Ruvia, get paid for it.

You know the guesthouses, cafés and tour operators around you. When one of them joins Ruvia with your code and pays for its first listing, you earn R150, paid into your bank account.

  1. Apply

    With the email of your Ruvia Business account. Only businesses already on Ruvia can join.

  2. We approve you

    We read every application and email you when you're in, usually within two working days.

  3. Share your code

    You get a six-letter code and a link. A business enters the code when it signs up, or within 30 days after.

  4. Get paid

    Once that business pays for its first listing, the payout is yours. We pay by EFT and you can follow it all in the app.

Who counts as my referral?
A business that enters your code when it signs up for Ruvia Business, or in the app within 30 days of signing up and before it first pays. Each business can only have one referrer.
When do I earn the payout?
When the business you referred pays for its first listing, monthly or yearly. You earn once per business, at the amount that applied when it paid.
How and when am I paid?
By EFT to the bank account you add in the Ruvia Business app. Your dashboard shows what you've earned, what we've paid and what's still owed.
Can I refer my own other businesses?
The program is for bringing in new businesses. We may decline or suspend affiliates whose referrals look like the same business signing up again.
