Reasons to join the partner network

Bike

Sell more bikes

Scheme customers arrive pre-approved and motivated to spend. With an average scheme bike value of NZD 8,000, these are not browser visits - they are buyer visits. E-bikes account for the majority of scheme purchases.
Process

We handle the admin

Northride manages everything before and after the sale including eligibility checks, employer approval, and invoicing. You raise a quote through the Northride shop portal and we pay your invoice directly. No chasing employers and no payment delays.
Media

Additional visibility

Your shop is listed in the Northride partner directory, the first place enrolled employees search when looking for a local bike retailer. We promote partner shops on our website, in the Northride app, and across our employer network.

How do you process a Northride sale

Six steps from customer visit to payment in your account.

Customer visits

An employee from a Northride-enrolled employer visits your store looking to use their bike benefit.

You raise a quote

Log in to the Northride shop portal and raise a quote for the customer's chosen bike or e-bike.

Employer approves

The employer approves the benefit order through their Northride dashboard. This usually takes one to two business days.

Customer collects

The employee collects their bike. Use this visit to cross-sell accessories, servicing plans, helmets, and apparel - all at full retail margin.

Northride pays you

Northride pays your invoice directly. No chasing the employer, no payment delays, no admin overhead.

You grow your business

A Northride customer doesn't stop at the bike. Expect them back for servicing, accessories, and to tell other cyclists about your shop.

Frequently asked questions

Still have questions about the Northride partner programme? Find answers to the most common ones below or get in touch with our team directly.

No. Joining the Northride partner network is completely free. There are no setup fees, no monthly charges, and no hidden costs. Northride earns from the scheme administration, and your margin on every bike sale stays intact.

Northride pays your invoice directly once a benefit order is fulfilled. You do not need to invoice the employer or the employee. Payment is made to the shop, not routed through a third party.

Customers can purchase any bike, e-bike, or qualifying micro-mobility device suitable for commuting. The most common purchase is an e-bike, with an average scheme bike value of NZD 8,000. There is no fixed spending cap, though individual employers may set their own limits.

Approval typically takes two to three working days from the time you submit your application, assuming all documentation is in order.

You do not need to. Northride handles employee eligibility, employer setup, and scheme administration before the customer ever walks into your store. By the time they visit, they are already approved and ready to buy. Your team just needs to raise a quote through the Northride shop portal.

Yes. Joining the Northride partner network does not prevent you from working with other benefit providers. You can operate across multiple schemes simultaneously.

Partner shops receive access to the Northride B2B portal for managing quotes and orders, direct support from the Northride team, and promotion on the Northride website and in-app partner directory, where all scheme-eligible employees search for their nearest partner shop.
Orders can be cancelled before collection. Contact the Northride support team and they will manage the process with the employer and employee directly. Once the bike has been collected and the invoice submitted, the order is considered fulfilled.
