Fill in the form at the bottom of this page. It takes about 5 minutes.
Usually within a few days. You get a welcome email with the link to your own partner page.
Only if you sell online: create a read-only key in your webshop and send it to us, e.g. the Consumer key and Consumer secret from WooCommerce (5–10 minutes). We set up the rest. No webshop? Nothing to do.
Hýsa guests and homeowners find you in our guide and buy from you at your normal prices.
From then on everything runs by itself. You never register anything, check vouchers or handle codes at the till. You get an email for every sale, and one invoice a week.
| You (the partner) | Hýsa | The customer | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Start | Sign up. Connect your webshop once, if you sell online. | Approves you and lists you in the guide. | – |
| Online sale | Nothing. Sell as normal. | Finds the order automatically and emails it to you. | Clicks through to your website from the Hýsa guide and buys at your normal price. |
| Sale in your shop | Nothing. Take payment as normal. | Registers the purchase from the receipt and emails it to you. | Pays your normal price, then sends Hýsa a photo of the receipt and the amount. |
| Cashback | Nothing. | Pays any cashback to the customer, out of its own commission. | Gets the cashback from Hýsa. |
| Every week | Pay the invoice within 8 days. | Sends one invoice listing every sale. | – |
| If something is wrong | Reply to the sale email. | Checks it and removes or corrects the sale. | – |
You decide what you offer to pay Hýsa per sale, in the form below. We recommend 20–25%: the more you offer, the more cashback Hýsa can give its customers for choosing you, and the higher you are shown on our partner pages. The business that gives the most in each category is shown first with the label “★ Hýsa recommends”. You can raise or lower your commission at any time on your partner page – your place changes with it, and it applies to new sales from that day. You can also add photos, what you sell and an “Offer of the week” to your card yourself. We confirm it when we approve you. It is the only cost: no sign-up fee, no monthly fee, nothing when there are no sales.
| Type | How it is calculated | Example: customer pays 1,000 kr incl. VAT |
|---|---|---|
| % of the price excl. VAT (most common) | A percentage of what the customer paid, without VAT and without shipping. | 10% of 800 kr = 80 kr |
| % of the price incl. VAT | A percentage of what the customer paid, with VAT, without shipping. | 10% of 1,000 kr = 100 kr |
| Fixed per booking | The same amount for every sale, whatever the price. | e.g. 150 kr per sale |
| Fixed per person | An amount per person in the booking (tours, trips, tables). | e.g. 50 kr × 4 persons = 200 kr |
As soon as Hýsa approves you, you are part of the partner network: you get cashback at all the other partners that are open to partners. You find them on your partner page: book online through the buttons there, or send the receipt. Your cashback is deducted on your next invoice from Hýsa. A good way to build local business-to-business deals.
Hýsa always gives its guests, homeowners and partner businesses part of its own commission back as cashback, paid by Hýsa. It is a reason for them to choose you. It does not change your prices, and it never costs you anything extra.
Sometimes, online: instead of cashback, Hýsa may ask you to create one discount code in your webshop (for example HYSA5). Then the discount is deducted from your invoice, so in total you still pay only the agreed commission. You are told in your welcome email if this applies to you.
All emails come from hysa@hysa.fo. Sale emails go to your contact email, invoices to your invoice email.
| When | What is in it | |
|---|---|---|
| Welcome | When we approve you | Your agreed commission, the link to your partner page, and what (if anything) to set up. |
| New sale (online) | Within the hour after the order | Date, order number, customer name, amount, and the commission. |
| New sale (in your shop) | As soon as the customer sends the receipt | Date, customer name, amount from the receipt, and the commission. |
| Invoice | Every Monday, for the previous week | A PDF listing every sale in the period, with the total, VAT and payment details. |
| Credit | If a sale that was already invoiced is removed | The amount deducted from your next invoice. |
Nothing in these emails needs an answer. If a sale does not match your records, just reply within 3 days and we look at it before it is invoiced.
Choose your system in the form below. To find Hýsa sales automatically, our system needs a read-only key to your webshop. With WooCommerce that is two codes: the Consumer key (starts with ck_) and the Consumer secret (starts with cs_). Paste them on your partner page, or email them to hysa@hysa.fo and we enter them for you. From then on the system reads new orders every hour and registers the Hýsa sales by itself. We only read orders. We can never change anything in your shop, and you can remove the access at any time.
| Your system | What to do |
|---|---|
| WooCommerce | WooCommerce → Settings → Advanced → REST API → Add key, description “Hýsa”, permission Read → Generate API key. Send us the Consumer key (ck_…) and the Consumer secret (cs_…), or paste them on your partner page. The secret is only shown once, so copy it straight away. |
| Shopify | Settings → Apps and sales channels → Develop apps → create an app with the scope read_orders. Send us the Admin API access token (shpat_…), or paste it on your partner page. |
| Wix, Squarespace, WordPress, Webflow, BigCommerce, Ecwid, Magento, PrestaShop, Google Tag Manager, Bókun, FareHarbor, ticket shops and others | You add a short code from your partner page, with a step-by-step guide for your system (5–15 minutes). See all guides. |
| No webshop | Nothing to set up. |
