No follower minimums · Genuine relationships only · Nationwide

You're already doing the work.

Every time you post about a local business, you're helping them get discovered. You're building their reputation. You're sending them customers.

Now imagine if those businesses could actually reward their regulars properly — and you got credit for making the connection.

That's what Lekka does. We help local businesses build digital loyalty programmes so they can treat their regulars the way they deserve. And when you introduce a business to Lekka, you earn recurring income — because you're genuinely making a difference.

How it works

Four steps. Zero awkwardness.

Keep doing what you're already doing. We handle the rest.

Share what you already love

Post about your favourite local coffee shops, salons, boutiques. Tag them. Show your Lekka card in action. Story, Reel, blog post, TikTok — whatever feels natural to you.

Give them your code

When you mention a business, drop your unique referral code. DM it to them. Put it in your bio. Make it easy for businesses you genuinely support to find Lekka through you.

They build their loyalty programme

The businesses sign up with your code and start rewarding their regulars. You introduced them to something that helps them grow — and they remember that.

You earn every month

When they activate a paid plan, you earn R200/month for 12 months. Passive income that keeps coming because you connected the right people.

Every referral feeds families.

Every paid Lekka vendor triggers a R10/month donation to FoodForward SA — roughly 17 meals for people who need them. So when you refer a business, you're not just helping them grow. You're helping feed families too.

Every referral = 17 meals/month

FAQ

Common questions.

How much can I actually earn?

R200/month per business that signs up with your code and activates a paid plan — for 12 months. So if you refer 5 businesses, that's R1,000/month passive income for a year. But honestly, the money is just the bonus. The real value is knowing you helped businesses you care about grow.

Do I have to train or support the businesses?

Nope. You introduce them to Lekka, we handle onboarding, training, support — everything. You're not on the hook for tech support or walking them through setup. You just make the connection.

What if a business cancels?

Your recurring commission stops when they cancel. But you keep everything you've already earned, and there's no clawback. If they reactivate later, your commission resumes.

Is there a minimum follower count?

No. We care about genuine relationships and engagement, not vanity metrics. A micro-influencer with 500 engaged followers who actually trust your recommendations is worth way more than someone with 50k bots.

Can I combine this with being an agent?

No — you're either an agent (in-person onboarding, R800 flat fee) or an affiliate (content-driven, R200/month recurring). The agent model pays more upfront because it requires more hands-on work. Pick what fits your style.

What counts as a referral?

A business that signs up using your code and activates a paid plan (Starter, Growth, or Premium). Free plan sign-ups don't count unless they upgrade to paid within 30 days.

How do I get paid?

EFT to your bank account, monthly, starting the month after the business activates. You'll have a simple dashboard showing active referrals and earnings.
