Why Thrive

Your business runs on more than payments.

Payments are only one part of running a successful business. Thrive connects the tools, insight and support that help you plan ahead, make better decisions and grow with confidence.

01 Accept

Get paid, every way

Card, tap, QR and account-to-account. Money lands where you can use it the same day.

02 Manage

Stock that counts itself

Every sale updates stock in real time, so you reorder on facts instead of guesses.

03 Settle

Pay suppliers from sales

Use what you’ve earned to settle suppliers digitally, without leaving the counter.

04 Know

One honest view

Commercial intelligence that tells you what’s working, what’s leaking and what to do next.

Independent business

The hardest part of running an independent store isn't selling.

It's everything around the sale, the cash, the stock, the suppliers, the not-knowing. Most tools were never built for how the main market actually trades.

Payout Rewards

Get rewarded the more you go cashless

Payout Rewards to reward you for going cashless.

We offer a competitive transaction fee of 2%. However, the more cashless sales you do using your Thrive device, the more you can earn as a Payout Reward each month.

Here’s how it works

Tier 4

Monthly cashless card sales aboveR100 000

Monthly Payout Reward10%
Effective transaction fee (ex VAT)1,8%

Tier 3

Monthly cashless card sales aboveR250 000

Monthly Payout Reward25%
Effective transaction fee (ex VAT)1,5%

Tier 2

Monthly cashless card sales aboveR500 000

Monthly Payout Reward38%
Effective transaction fee (ex VAT)1,25%

Tier 1

Monthly cashless card sales aboveR1’m

Monthly Payout Reward50%
Effective transaction fee (ex VAT)1%

The more cashless sales you make in a month, the higher your cashless tier (and Payout Reward) and the lower your effective card transaction fee. You can earn Payout Rewards into your thrive_app.

The Thrive advantage

What changes when you’re one step ahead.

From cash runs

Money is digital by close

No more shutting early to bank takings. Settlement happens as you trade.

From guesswork

Reorder on real numbers

Stock counts itself, so ordering is driven by what actually sells.

From gut feel

Decisions you can defend

Plain-language intelligence turns a busy week into a clear next move.

Every successful business is built on experience.
We believe the best insights come from listening to the people who live them every day.

Watch this conversation with Asanda from Wijo’s Corner as we explore the decisions, challenges and practical know-how behind building a successful business.

How it works

Run your business through one app.
Anytime. Anywhere.

Thrive sits between independent retailers and the suppliers, brands and distributors they buy from, turning everyday trade into a connected, digital supply chain.

One settlement layer

Money moves from shopper to retailer to supplier on a single digital rail, less cash, less reconciliation.

A real demand signal

Aggregated, anonymised sales give brands an honest read on what the main market is actually buying.

A digital supply chain

Retailers reorder and pay suppliers in-app, so restocking stops depending on a trip to the wholesaler.
