Become a Daittoner

Join Daittons. Offer Local Support. Earn From Your Skills.

A Daittoner is a verified and trusted local person who offers personalised support and assistance to Visitors, travellers and remote clients. Whether you have practical skills, professional experience, useful local knowledge or enjoy helping people, Daittons gives you an opportunity to use your abilities to provide valuable assistance in your destination or through approved remote assignments. From transport and personal assistance to business support, accommodation searches, language services, local guidance, sourcing and verifications, there are different ways to contribute to the Daittons network.

What Is a Daittoner?

Daittoners help people get things done locally. You could assist a Visitor arriving at an airport, accompany someone to an appointment, support a business visitor at a conference, provide language assistance, guide someone around a destination, conduct agreed local checks for a remote client, help someone settle into a new home or assist with accommodation-related arrangements. You choose the services you are capable, qualified and authorised to provide, subject to Daittons’ requirements and applicable laws.

Who Can Apply?

Daittons welcomes applications from suitable individuals who can provide useful, reliable and professional assistance.

• E-hailing drivers and private motorists who meet applicable transport requirements.
• Personal assistants and people offering practical everyday assistance.
• Office and administrative professionals.
• University and college students with relevant skills or local knowledge.
• Pensioners with useful experience, skills or destination knowledge.
• Translators, interpreters and language support providers.
• Local guides and destination specialists.
• Business support professionals.
• People offering remote business support, research, sourcing and verification services.
• Individuals assisting with relocation and accommodation searches.
• Other capable people offering relevant local services.

Applicants must meet Daittons’ eligibility, profile, verification and service requirements. Certain services require additional qualifications, licences, permits, insurance or supporting documentation.

Daittoner Membership

Membership gives you the opportunity to create a professional profile and connect with Visitors, travellers, businesses and remote clients seeking local assistance. Your profile can showcase:

• Your skills, experience and services.
• Your location and service areas.
• Your languages and proficiency levels.
• Your prices and availability.
• Your qualifications and relevant credentials.
• Your transport options and other service capabilities, where applicable.

Visitors may browse available Daittoner profiles or submit Assistance Requests, depending on the features available on the platform. You can respond to suitable opportunities and discuss the proposed service directly with the Visitor. A completed profile does not, by itself, establish verified status or guarantee enquiries, bookings or income.

Membership Options and Fees

Daittons offers two membership options: Standard and Elite. Both require the applicable profile, verification, approval and activation processes.

Membership Comparison

Feature	Standard	Elite
Once-off fee	R300 / USD 30	R500 / USD 50
Verification	Required	Required
Approval and activation	Required	Required
Intended market	General Visitors	VIP and premium Visitors
Guaranteed bookings or income	No	No

Once a fee becomes payable following successful verification and approval, refunds are handled under the applicable Payment, Cancellation and Refund Policy and any rights that cannot lawfully be excluded. The fee is generally non-refundable if you decide not to proceed after the verification work has been completed, subject to applicable law.

Mandatory Verification Requirements

Trust is central to Daittons. Every Daittoner must complete the applicable verification requirements before receiving verified status or being authorised to provide services through an active profile.

Criminal-Record Documentation

Criminal-record documentation must be submitted within the applicable period of up to three months from the start of verification, in accordance with Daittons’ verification procedure. This is an allowance for submitting documentation. It does not grant verified status, guarantee approval or authorise you to provide services requiring completed verification while checks remain outstanding. Any extension requires Daittons’ written approval and remains subject to applicable law.

Additional Service-Specific Requirements

Additional checks or documents may apply depending on your services. Transport Daittoners, for example, may need a valid driving licence, vehicle documentation, appropriate insurance and any permits or authorisations required by law.

How Your Profile Becomes Active

The activation process follows these stages:

1. Register and complete your profile.
2. Submit the required information and documentation.
3. Complete the applicable verification checks.
4. Receive successful verification and approval.
5. Pay the applicable once-off fee when instructed.
6. Wait for payment confirmation and reconciliation.
7. Receive final activation authorisation.

Verification approval, fee payment and activation are separate stages. Your profile becomes active only after all applicable requirements have been satisfied and activation has been authorised by Daittons.

About Service Pricing

The example prices are starting-price guides, not mandatory rates. Daittoners can set their own prices based on the service, experience, location, duration and other relevant factors. The final price may depend on:

• Location and distance.

• Urgency and time of day.
• Number of people.
• Transport and vehicle requirements.
• Waiting time and special requirements.
• Third-party costs and expenses.

How You Earn

Under the initial Daittons payment arrangement, Visitors generally pay Daittoners directly, in advance or just before the service is delivered, according to the agreed service terms. Daittoners are responsible for keeping accurate transaction records, reporting completed and applicable transactions, and paying the commission due through the designated process.

Biweekly Reporting and Commission Payments

Daittoners must follow the current biweekly reporting and remittance procedure:

1. Monday of the second week: Service-providing Daittoners submit their transaction records and applicable commission to the designated City Daittoner.
2. By Wednesday: The City Daittoner consolidates the city returns and forwards the required report and collected commission to the Country Daittoner.
3. By Friday: The Country Daittoner consolidates the relevant returns and remits the required report and funds to Daittons Headquarters.

The applicable cycle dates, time zone, treatment of weekends and public holidays, and authorised reporting and payment channels are governed by Daittons’ Commission and Biweekly Reporting Procedure. Daittons may introduce platform-based payments or revise the collection process as the platform develops. Any new arrangements will be communicated through the applicable official channels.

Local Coordination and Support

City Daittoner

Your primary local contact for routine operational guidance, onboarding support, local coordination, transaction reporting and escalation of concerns.

Country Daittoner

Supports the national network, coordinates with City Daittoners and assists with matters requiring country-level attention.

Daittons Headquarters

Maintains platform-wide policies and standards and retains authority over official verification outcomes, approvals, activation and membership status. Local representatives cannot guarantee verification, bookings or earnings, or override official Daittons decisions without specific authority. Where no City Daittoner has been appointed, Daittons will determine the appropriate interim support arrangements.
