The businesses on one street, building loyalty together.
Neighbors offer each other’s cards and share a passport and a gift card, with your business association. No personal data is shared.
32% of regular customers visit several businesses in the same postal code.

Your customers already stop by your neighbors. The network gives them a reason to, and gives each business a reason to recommend the next one.
Five ways to work together
Cards offered by a neighbor
The café hands out the barber next door’s card with 2 stamps already on it, and the barber does the same. Each business keeps its own card, and no money changes hands.
The neighborhood passport
Customers who visit several businesses in the network get a bonus, for example after 3 businesses in 30 days. The association picks the numbers.
The neighborhood gift card
The association sells a gift card that works at every member business. By default, the amount paid never expires and has no fees.
The shared kitty
Each purchase sets aside a small percentage, to spend anywhere in the network. It’s trickier, so it only opens once the network has enough active businesses.
The association’s dashboard
The association follows active businesses, customers moving from one to another and gift cards, as totals. A PDF report is ready for your partners.
The passport, visit after visit
ExampleExample with made-up businesses
A coffee at Café Tournesol
First passport stamp, on top of the usual stamp.
A haircut at Salon Belle Frange
Second business in the network within 30 days.
A loaf at La Mie Joyeuse
Third business: that’s the count.
The bonus lands
A free stamp on each card visited, automatically.
What the association sees, and what it never sees
It sees
- The number of active businesses and shared customers.
- Visits from one business to another, in groups of at least 10 people.
- Gift card amounts, to the cent, because it pays them.
It never sees
- A customer’s name, phone or email.
- The members or sales of a particular business.
- A group of fewer than 10 people: it shows as “Fewer than 10”.
The passport and the kitty each ask for the customer’s consent, in a separate box. They can leave anytime.
We never handle the money
When a gift card is spent at a member business, the platform records it. Each month, a statement tells each business what it gets and what it owes. The association pays as usual; a business has 15 days to dispute a line.
The network’s money is always held by a neutral association, never by a single business or by us.
Why stamps and dollars, not shared points
Large points programs shared between merchants have often disappointed. Plenti, the American Express one, closed on July 10, 2018 after major partners left. Here, each business keeps its card and its customers, and shared money is counted in dollars, not points.

Who pays for what
Each member business
Its usual $89 monthly subscription, with no extra for the network.
The association
The neighborhood gift card and its dashboard, by written quote.
The association signs an agreement with us; each business joins in one click, from its own space. Nobody creates an account anywhere else.
