06 · Partner FAQ

Straight answers.

Is it really free?

Yes. Businesses that join before our January 2027 launch are founding partners: no fee, and no commission on what members buy from you.

How long does my offer run?

12 months, so members can count on it. If something needs adjusting along the way, we look at it with you.

Can you guarantee a number of customers?

No. Every member sees your perk, and each member chooses where to use their card.

What do my staff need?

From launch, a phone or a computer with internet. They open your partner page, then scan the member's QR code or type the short code. Nothing to install.

Can I offer my perk online?

Yes, with a promo code on your website. A promo code is easier to pass on to friends and family than the card code, so we recommend the card in store.

When do I sign anything?

Once we've agreed on your perk, we send you a short partnership agreement. Nothing is binding before you sign it.
