Why the permissions

  1. Location: to check you're near the store (within 300 m) so you can connect with one tap.
  2. Android also checks the nearby Wi-Fi routers; iPhone uses location only.
  3. No location history is stored.

Frequently asked questions

See all FAQs
Can I close the app?

The store is detected while the app is open. If you quit it completely, just open it once in the store.

Does it drain the battery?

It only checks for the store briefly while the app is open, so the impact is close to nothing.

My stamps are not adding up.

Stamps are added only when the store scans your member QR at checkout. Show your QR in the app when you pay.

I used a coupon by mistake.

Tell the owner in the store chat.
