How a sale is counted

Simple for customers. Automatic for businesses.

OnlineThrough the Hýsa link

The customer opens the business's website from the Hýsa page and buys at the normal price. Hýsa finds the order in the webshop and emails the business. Works with WooCommerce, Shopify, or a short tracking code on any website.

In the shopFrom the receipt

The customer pays the normal price, then sends Hýsa a photo of the receipt and the amount. Hýsa registers the sale, emails the business, and pays the customer's cashback.

Cashback codeSaved before the visit

Guests can save a personal code (e.g. HY-8BGMDG) for a place, on their phone or as an image. After paying, they send the receipt with the code in seconds, and get a reminder if they forget.

One network

Benefits everywhere we have a partner.

Every partner we add makes the network stronger for everyone in it: in the Faroe Islands, in Copenhagen, at the airport, at hotels and wherever our guests go.

Guests

Cashback at every partner, in every country, through the link in your Hýsa messages.

Partners

Cashback at all the other partners, deducted on your own invoice. More partners means more local business-to-business deals.

What makes Hýsa Referrals different

We are not a list of every business on the islands. Every partner is one we would send our own family to.

We know every partner

Each business is checked and approved by the Hýsa team before it is shown. We remove places that do not live up to it.

Picked by people who live here

Our team lives in the Faroe Islands and hosts guests every day. The recommendations come from that, not from an algorithm.

Normal prices, always

You pay the business’s normal price. Hýsa guests and homeowners get cashback from Hýsa on top.

Google ratings

Every card shows the place’s rating on Google, with a link to read all the reviews there – so you see what other visitors think.

Questions

Good to know

Do guests need to sign up?

No. Guests open the partner page from the link in their Hýsa messages, buy as normal, and send a receipt for shop purchases.

What is a cashback code?

A personal code for one place, saved on your phone, as an image or by email. After paying, you send the receipt with the code: your name and email are filled in, so it takes seconds. One code works for several purchases for 30 days.

Can anyone use the partner page?

Anyone can see our recommendations and book through them. Cashback is only for Hýsa guests and partners in the network.

Is it really cheaper?

Often. Many partners give Hýsa guests money back, so you pay the normal price and get cashback from us afterwards.

How fast does cashback arrive?

Once the business has paid Hýsa for that sale, usually within 1–3 weeks, back on the card you paid your Hýsa stay with.

What does a business pay?

Only the commission you offer per sale: a percentage of the price or a fixed amount per booking or per person. No sign-up or monthly fee.

What does a business get, besides customers?

More than a listing. Every Hýsa partner gets:

  • A place in front of 10,000+ visitors a year – Hýsa’s guests, homeowners and website visitors, on the map, in the day ideas and on the event pages.
  • Your own numbers, live – how many saw you, opened your offer and went on to book, every month, plus a monthly report by email.
  • A listing that sells – photos, what you offer, opening hours, an “Offer of the week” and a green “Free today” label when you have tables or seats left.
  • The top spot in your category – the partner that gives Hýsa’s customers the most is shown first as “★ Hýsa recommends”.
  • Cashback for yourself – as a partner you get cashback at all the other Hýsa partners, deducted from your own invoice.

No set-up fee and no fixed price: you only pay when a Hýsa customer buys from you.

Is the page in my language?

Tap the language button at the top right of the page. The guest pages are translated by Hýsa into Faroese, Danish, Spanish, French and Chinese, and more than 100 other languages are available by machine translation. It usually follows your phone’s language automatically.

What does a business have to do?

Sign up, and if it sells online, give Hýsa read-only access to its orders once – with WooCommerce, for example, by sending us the Consumer key and Consumer secret, which we enter in our system so Hýsa sales are registered automatically. Other platforms (Shopify, booking systems and others) get a clear step-by-step guide when they sign up. After that the business gets an email for every sale and one invoice a week.

Guides

Everything explained, step by step.

Find your way in.
