Referrals on Paysasa: Invite Users and Merchants and Track Your Commissions

The best recommendations come from people we trust. A friend who says "this made my business easier" carries more weight than any advert. Paysasa's Referrals feature is built around that idea — and it is live on Paysasa for individuals and businesses.

This update explains how referrals work, who they suit and how to refer responsibly.

What is the Paysasa referral programme?

Referrals let you invite users or merchants to Paysasa using your own referral link or code. Paysasa tracks conversions — who signed up and went on to use the platform — and commissions are settled according to platform rules.

How it works

1. Find your referral link. Open the Referrals section in your Paysasa dashboard to see your code and link.
2. Share it with people who will benefit. That might be a fellow trader, a chama member, a freelancer friend or a business that needs better collections.
3. They sign up with your link. Their account is associated with your referral.
4. Track progress. Your dashboard shows referrals and conversions.
5. Commission is settled. When a referral qualifies under the platform's rules, the commission is recorded and settled.

Commission modes and qualifying conditions are set by Paysasa and can change, so always check the details in your dashboard rather than relying on second-hand information.

Who should use referrals?

Merchants and business owners

You probably know other business owners who struggle with collections, debt tracking or staff payments. Sharing what works for you is helpful — and can earn you a commission.

Community leaders and chama officials

If you help groups manage money, introducing them to tools like Chama, Deni or Lengo can make life easier for everyone.

Developers and agencies

If you build websites or apps for clients, recommending Paysasa checkout or APIs is a natural fit.

Everyday users

If you use Paysasa for transfers or savings and like it, you can invite friends and family.

Referring responsibly

Trust is the foundation of every good referral. A few principles:

• Be honest about what Paysasa does. Point people to paysasa.com/features for an accurate overview.
• Do not promise earnings, returns or rewards that are not part of the official programme.
• Never sign anyone up without their consent, and never ask for anyone's PIN or one-time codes.
• Avoid spam. Share in conversations where it is relevant rather than flooding groups.
• Point to official pages for fees — the pricing page is the source of truth.

Helping your referrals succeed

A referral is most valuable when the person you invite actually benefits. You can help them:

• Walk them through creating an account and completing KYC verification.
• Share the relevant guide for what they need — accepting payments, setting up a chama or recording IOUs.
• Remind them to set a strong PIN and keep it private.
• Encourage businesses to separate business wallets from personal ones from day one.

Making a referral genuinely useful

The most helpful referrals match a real need. Before sharing your link, ask a simple question: what problem is this person trying to solve? A trader tired of fake payment messages may value escrow and dashboard confirmation; a chama treasurer may value contribution tracking; a growing shop may need bulk payouts. Sharing the right feature — and the right guide — turns a link into genuine help.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I find my referral link?

In the Referrals section of your Paysasa dashboard after signing in.

Can I refer businesses as well as individuals?

Yes. Referrals support inviting both users and merchants.

How are commissions calculated?

Commission modes are set by the platform. Check your dashboard for the current rules that apply to your account.

What if someone forgets to use my link?

Referrals are tracked through the link or code used at sign-up, so share it clearly and encourage people to use it when they register.

An illustrative example

Imagine a hairdresser in Eldoret who uses Paysasa payment links for bookings. A fellow salon owner asks how she handles deposits. She shares her referral link, helps her friend complete verification and shows her how to create a link. Her friend gets a better way to take deposits, and the referral is tracked in the hairdresser's dashboard.

Conclusion

Referrals reward you for doing something you might already do: recommending tools that genuinely help. Share thoughtfully, help the people you invite get started, and track your progress in one place.
