Coupons & featured placement — how it actually works

A short visual guide showing exactly what a customer sees when redeeming a coupon, how you confirm the redemption from your phone while logged into your business account, and why it's worth pairing with featured placement.

This guide is built from real screenshots of the system, not a video — so it stays accurate, clear, and easy to come back to.

Part 1

The coupon flow, in two steps

The customer finds and claims a coupon on your page

Once you activate a coupon batch and publish it, it appears on your business page with the discount percentage. A logged-in customer who taps the button gets a one-time personal code and a QR code. Each customer can only redeem one coupon per business — a second attempt is blocked automatically.

You confirm the redemption — with your regular phone camera

When the customer arrives at your business, they show the QR code or number code on their screen. Scan it with your phone's regular camera — no separate scanning app needed. The scan opens a page in your mobile browser; as long as you're logged into your partner account, you'll see a single "Confirm redemption" button. After confirming, the status permanently changes to "redeemed", so that code can't be used twice.

If you're not logged in at that moment, the system will ask you to sign in before you can confirm — so only a verified business owner can confirm a redemption, even if the link ends up in the wrong hands.

Part 2

Getting the most out of it

How to buy a coupon package

In your dashboard, under "Buy a coupon package", choose a quantity (10 or more — the more you buy, the lower the per-unit price) and the discount percentage customers will get (5% or 10%). The estimated price shows immediately. Click "Add to cart", then complete a secure PayPal payment at the bottom of the page. The batch appears right away in your dashboard — in "not published" status until you decide to turn it on.

You can add several items to the cart together — coupons, featured placement and an ad — and pay for them in a single payment.

Full control: publish and unpublish with one click

A coupon batch isn't shown to customers automatically. Whether you purchased it or received it as a free trial, it waits in "not published" status until you turn it on. The table in your dashboard shows how many coupons were claimed and redeemed, and you can unpublish at any moment — for example if you run out of stock mid-month.

The batch table in your dashboard — publish status, claimed, redeemed, and price

The remaining quantity stays private and is shown only to you. Customers see that the discount exists — not how many coupons are left.

Why featured placement matters in practice

A business with an active featured placement gets a gold "Featured ⭐" tag and appears first on the category page — ahead of every other business, even ones with a higher rating. It's not just a label, it's a position. The example below shows the "Kosher Restaurants in Paris" page: the featured business appears first, ahead of a higher-rated business with no promotion.

A category page in Paris — a featured business vs. a regular one

The strongest combination: featured placement plus an active coupon together. You're the first thing the customer sees, with a discount that pushes them to click.

Ads — currently free of charge

An ad is the highest tier on the category page: a blue "Ad" tag, first position — ahead of even featured businesses — and a card twice the normal size that draws the eye. Right now, as a partner benefit, ads are free and unlimited in time: in your dashboard, click "Activate free ad" and it's live immediately.

An ad is different from featured placement (⭐): an ad competes for attention with a large card and absolute first position, while featured placement is a "Recommended" tag positioned right after it. You can — and should — run both together.

A few more tips worth knowing

Keep an eye on the coupon activity log in your dashboard — it shows exactly which coupons were claimed and when they were redeemed, so you know your return in real time.
Update your photos and details via "My listing" every so often — a page with fresh, appealing photos converts better even without a discount.
Changes made via "My listing" only take effect after admin approval — send updates ahead of time, not at the last minute before an event.
Time it smart: turn on featured placement and a coupon together during busy periods (holidays, weekends) to get the best return on both.

Part 3

Getting to know your audience

Visitor analytics dashboard

In your dashboard, under "Visitor Analytics", you'll find live data about traffic to your business page — not just how much, but who and from where:

Visitor breakdown by country (with flags) — where in the world the people viewing you are coming from.
Clicks by type — how many people clicked WhatsApp, your website, Google Maps, the discount voucher and more, so you know what actually drives people to act.
Daily visitor trend over the last 14 days — unique visitors and pageviews on your page each day, so you can see if traffic is growing or shrinking.

All the data updates automatically from real views and clicks on the site, and is visible only to you — never to other partners.
