Partner Walkthrough
From signup to first redemption in under 10 minutes.
Getting started takes just a few minutes. Connect your existing POS, create your first offer, and start reaching verified Tampa Bay residents.
Connect your existing POS
Locals Club works with your existing point-of-sale so there's no new hardware to buy, no data to migrate, and no workflow to relearn. Square is the first integration and is live today; Toast, Clover, and Lightspeed are on the roadmap.
You'll authorize the connection through your POS's standard OAuth flow — we never see or store your password. Once you approve, we pull your business name, address, category, and location list automatically.
What we ask for: read access to your payments (so we can match redemptions to real tickets) and read/write access to your catalog (so offers can reference the right items when you want them to). We do not ask for withdrawal permission or refund authority.
Add your first offer
In the merchant app, tap New Offer. Pick a type:
- Percent off — 10% off, 15% off, etc.
- Dollar off — $5 off any order over $20
- Fixed price — $20 haircut normally $40
- Time-bounded — happy hour, weekday lunch, slow-day boost
Set your discount, the redemption window, and any max-per-customer cap. Hit publish and it's live in the feed for verified locals in your area.
Customer redeems at your register
The customer opens the offer in their app and taps Redeem. A time-limited QR code appears on their phone.
Your staff opens the merchant scanner (built into your app — no extra hardware) and scans the QR. The discount amount is confirmed on both screens, and the customer's next Square transaction gets matched to that redemption automatically.
Fallback:if scanning isn't practical, staff can enter the redemption code manually. Either way, the customer can't redeem the same offer twice.
Monthly settlement
On the 1st of every month, Locals Club invoices you for 3.5% of the total redeemed value from the previous month. Payment comes from the Stripe card you connected during onboarding.
You get a detailed invoice with every redemption listed — date, time, offer, redeemed value, commission. Every line matches a real ticket in your Square dashboard, so reconciling is trivial.
Zero redemptions in a month? Zero invoice.
Iterate on what actually works
Your dashboard shows redemptions by day, hour, offer, and category. See which offers filled your slow shifts, which pulled loyal repeats, which flopped.
Adjust the offer, pause it, or clone the winners for next month. No planning meeting required.
