Whether you run a surf school, teach as an independent instructor, shape boards, shoot photos, or sell gear — this is where you'll find everything you need to build your business on Surfyx.
What Surfyx offers businesses
Free to list
No upfront cost to create a profile, publish services, or list products. You only pay a fee on successful bookings and sales.
Built-in payments
Stripe-powered checkout for lessons, rentals, products, and services. Fast payouts and clear fee breakdowns.
Mobile dashboard
Manage bookings, inventory, and conversations from the Surfyx app — the same one your students use.
Real reviews
Two-sided reviews between you and your customers, so trust is earned and abuse is discouraged.
Getting started
- Create an account. Sign up and choose "business" during onboarding. You can register as a school, instructor, photographer, or shop.
- Set up your profile. Add a bio, cover photo, location, and pricing. Link your Stripe account so you can receive payouts.
- Publish your first listing. Depending on your business type: a lesson, a rental, a service, a product, or a blog post. You can edit or unpublish anytime.
- Share your profile. Link to your Surfyx profile from your website, Instagram, and Google Maps listing. Let your existing customers know they can now book you directly on Surfyx.
Explore the business hub
- Community Forum — how to participate in the Surfyx business community, give feedback, and share best practices with other operators.
- Free Business Class — our ongoing workshop series for surf businesses, covering operations, marketing, and customer experience.
- Business Responsibility — our code of conduct and the standards every Surfyx business is expected to uphold.
Fees and payouts
Surfyx charges a transparent commission on completed bookings, sales, and rentals. The exact percentage depends on the category and region — you'll see the breakdown on every listing before you publish.
Payouts are processed through Stripe. Once your Stripe account is connected, funds from completed transactions are automatically transferred on Stripe's standard schedule for your country.
There are no monthly subscription fees, no setup fees, and no fees for unpublished or draft listings. You only pay when you earn.
