Referral programme for guide services and outfitters

Your guests already recommend you. Pay them for it.

Switch the programme on, set what the friend saves and what the referrer earns, and your booking site gets a refer-a-friend page. A visitor who arrives on a referral link sees the discount, keeps it through to checkout, and the booking is credited to the guest who sent them.

How it works

How the referral programme works

  1. Step 01

    Set the terms

    Choose the friend's discount as a percentage with a cap or a fixed amount, a minimum spend if you want one, and the referrer's reward as a percentage of the friend's booking or a fixed amount, paid as credit toward their next trip. Limit it to new customers or to certain trips, and set when codes and rewards expire.

  2. Step 02

    Guests get their link

    Your booking site gains a refer-a-friend page with the terms and a form where anyone can ask for their own link. You can also enrol past clients automatically, and a campaign can merge each guest's personal link into the email.

  3. Step 03

    The friend books with the discount

    A visitor who opens a referral link sees a banner with the friend's discount. The code follows them around your site for the rest of the visit, so whichever trip they choose, the discount is applied at checkout without typing anything.

  4. Step 04

    The referrer is credited

    When the friend's booking is paid, the conversion is recorded against the referrer's code and their reward is issued as credit they can spend with you. The referrals page shows every referrer, their visits, their bookings and what they have earned.

Example referral page: a guest's personal link, two friends who booked through it and the credit earned.

Who uses it

Three operations that lean on this every week.

Built for

Word of mouth, with a receipt

Most guided trips are booked because someone said go with these people. The recommendation already happens; what is missing is a reason to make it today and a way to know it happened. A referral programme supplies both: the friend has a discount that expires, and the booking carries the name of the person who caused it.

Treka keeps the mechanics out of your day. You set the terms once. Links are minted on request. Discounts apply themselves. Credit is issued when a booking is paid, and the referrals page tells you, per guest, who is sending you business.

Built to be safe to run

The public form that hands out links is rate-limited and only works for companies whose programme is enabled and open to sign-up, and it never returns anything but the asker's own link. A referral code is checked against your company at checkout, so a code from one operator cannot discount another's trips. The maths that sets the discount and the reward is the same on the preview, the dashboard and the charge.

FAQ

Questions: referral programme

Book a demo

What does the friend get, and what does the referrer get?

You decide both. The friend's discount is a percentage (with an optional cap) or a fixed amount off their booking, optionally with a minimum spend. The referrer's reward is a percentage of the friend's booking (with an optional cap) or a fixed amount, issued as credit to spend with you.

How does a guest get their referral link?

From the refer-a-friend page on your booking site, by entering their email, or automatically if you enrol past clients. Email campaigns can also merge each guest's personal link into the message.

Does the friend have to type a code?

No. Opening the link stores the referral for the visit. The discount is shown on the trip pages and applied at checkout on whichever trip they book.

When is the referrer rewarded?

When the friend's booking is paid. The conversion is recorded against the referrer's code and the credit is issued, with an expiry if you set one.

Can I limit the programme?

Yes. New customers only, selected trips only, a minimum spend, caps on the discount and the reward, an end date for the programme, and expiries on codes and rewards.

What does the referrals page show?

What the programme has returned, the share links, and every referrer with their visits, bookings and credit earned, plus the terms as guests see them.

Is this included, or an add-on?

Included in every plan. Every company starts with 30 days of Core, free. After that Core is $99 a month, or $79 a month billed yearly ($948), and Pro is $399 a month, or $329 a month billed yearly ($3,948). Pro adds custom AI agents, SEO optimization and a named contact. A custom website built by our team is quoted separately; book a demo to scope it. A 3% booking fee is added at checkout and paid by the guest; Stripe's card processing (2.9% + 30¢) is billed at cost. No contract.

Can I bring my existing trips and clients over?

Yes. Point Treka at your current website and it imports your trips, prices and photos; client lists come in from a spreadsheet or an export from your current system. Self-serve setup is free, and white-glove migration is $749 one-time on monthly plans and free on annual.
