Questions

Frequently Asked

How is the commission calculated?

Commission is calculated as a percentage of the traveler-reported booking amount. When a traveler records a booking in their itinerary, they enter the amount they paid and a confirmation number. That amount × your current commission rate = your commission for that booking. Rates: ≤10 listings → 10%, 11–20 → 8%, 21+ → 5%.

When do I pay?

On the 1st of each month, we generate a single invoice covering all confirmed bookings from the previous month. You'll receive it by email. If a month has zero confirmed bookings, no invoice is sent. There are no monthly subscription fees. You only ever pay commission on actual bookings.

What if a booking is wrong or I didn't make it?

When a traveler records a booking, you receive an email notification. You can then confirm or dispute it directly in your dashboard. Disputed bookings are excluded from invoices while under review. Only confirmed bookings appear on your monthly invoice.

How does the booking process work exactly?

Travelers book directly with you by phone, WhatsApp, or email. You issue them a booking confirmation number and accept payment as you normally would. The traveler then logs this booking in their Wayfinder itinerary: they enter your confirmation number, the amount they paid, and the check-in date.

You receive an email notification and can confirm the booking with one click in your dashboard. This creates the paper trail for commission invoicing.

Is there a sign-up or listing fee?

No. Registration is completely free. Creating listings is free. You only pay commission when a traveler records a confirmed booking. There are no monthly fees, setup fees, or lock-in contracts.

Why is my business already listed on Wayfinder?

To give travelers a complete picture of Namibia from day one, we create listings for tourism businesses from publicly available information, with a "book on their website" link that sends travelers directly to you. Any bookings that reach you this way before you join are completely free. No commission, no obligation.

If you'd like to keep receiving bookings, claim your listing: register and we'll verify you with a quick call to your business's public phone number. Commission only ever applies to bookings after you've claimed your listing and accepted the terms. Prefer not to be listed at all? One click removes your business permanently, no questions asked.

Can I list multiple types of offerings?

Yes. One account can hold listings across all five categories: accommodation, tours, activities, vehicle hire, and cultural experiences. All your listings count together toward your commission tier, so if you have 5 stays and 7 tours, that's 12 listings total, putting you in the Professional tier (8%).

How do I manage my listings and view bookings?

After registration, log in to app.wayfindernamibia.com with your email. Your provider dashboard lets you create and manage all listings, view incoming booking notifications, confirm or dispute bookings, and download monthly commission invoices. No separate billing portal needed.
