Early Adopter Advantage

Be one of the first businesses in your area to join. Early adopters capture more attention and stand out from competitors still using outdated methods.

Competition is Increasing

Being in this network gives you a competitive edge. Don't let your competitors get all the digital-savvy customers while you're left behind.

Customer Expectations Have Changed

Many customers now expect and actively seek digital deals and coupons. If you're not where they're looking, you're missing out on revenue.

How It Works for Merchants

1

Easy Onboarding

We can onboard you or you can onboard yourself - it's your choice. We'll help you set up your business profile and create compelling offers that attract customers.

2

Define Your Offers

You decide everything: discount percentage, time windows, and redemption limits. Set both per-user limits (how many times one person can redeem) and optional global limits (total redemptions across all users). Tailor your offers to match your business goals and protect your margins.

3

Customers Find You

The platform drives users to browse offers in your category and region. Your business gets discovered by people actively looking for what you provide.

4

Simple Validation

When a user shows their pass and wants to redeem, you validate it and provide the discount. Quick, easy, and fraud-resistant.

5

Ongoing Support

Common Questions from Business Owners

"Will it cut into my margins?"
You maintain complete control over the impact. Set the discount amount, limit how many times each user can redeem, and optionally set a global redemption limit to cap the total number of redemptions across all users. The goal is to generate incremental revenue from new customers, not cannibalize your full-price sales. Think of it as a targeted marketing expense that only costs you when it works.
"How do I know it works? What's the ROI?"
We provide detailed metrics including views, redemptions, and customer engagement data. You can track whether those redemptions turn into full orders, repeat customers, or upsells. Many businesses find the ROI far exceeds traditional advertising channels like flyers or print ads.
"Is it too much work to manage?"
You choose your level of involvement. We can handle all the onboarding and content management if you prefer minimal effort, or you can manage it yourself if you want full control. Our goal is to make this as easy as possible with minimal burden on you.
"What about fraud or misuse?"
The system includes multiple layers of protection: per-user redemption limits, optional global redemption limits (total cap across all users), unique 4-digit validation codes, and verification processes. You have complete control over redemption limits at both the individual and global level. Once an offer reaches its limits, it automatically shows as "Sold Out" to prevent further redemptions.
