How do I pay for a boost or promotion?

Boost prices, the four ways to pay, and what to do if a boost you paid for isn't showing.

Boosts are the paid options that give your advert more visibility. This article covers how to pay for one. For what each boost does and when to use it, see How do I promote my advert.

You can buy more than one boost at a time. The price you pay is always shown on the boost screen before you confirm, so check there for the current amount.

How to pay

Once you've chosen your boosts and clicked Proceed to Payment, you'll be asked to pick one of these:

  • Credit & Debit Card. Processed securely by Peach Payments. Clears immediately.

  • Instant EFT with PayFast. Pay straight from your online banking. Clears immediately.

  • SnapScan. Scan the QR code shown on screen with the SnapScan app.

  • Bike Hub Wallet. Pays instantly from your balance. Business and dealer accounts only, plus anyone we've issued a credit to. See Bike Hub Wallet.

All four clear immediately, so your boost goes live as soon as the payment succeeds. There is no waiting period.

I've paid but my boost isn't showing

Give it a few minutes first. If it still isn't visible, check I am not seeing my promoted advert, why? before contacting us. Top Ads in particular run on rotation, so your advert won't be in the top slot every time you look.

If your payment went through and the boost hasn't applied at all, start a chat with us from the Contact Us link in the footer. Include your advert link and the date and time you paid. Please don't buy the boost a second time.
