The problem

A recommendation drove someone in. You'll never know it.

Every marketing tool measures clicks and carts. None of them work when the customer walks through a physical door. So local owners are left with three bad options.

Leaky

"How'd you hear about us?"

Promo codes and counter questions are honor-system, under-reported, and impossible to pay a creator against reliably.

Expensive

Foot-traffic "attribution"

Geofencing vendors estimate visit lift across a control group. They need big ad budgets and can't name a single real new customer.

Nothing

Most owners just guess

With no way to measure, you can't justify creator spend — so you either overpay flat fees or skip it entirely.

How it works

Three moments, one clean record.

You set the offer and the reward. Proovn handles the tracking, the verification, and the payout.

Step 1

A creator posts you

A local creator shares your offer. Their followers save it to their phone's wallet as a pass with your offer, map, and a reminder.

Step 2

A new customer buys

They buy something and show the pass at your counter. Your staff confirm it with a one-tap code. Proovn checks they're genuinely new.

Step 3

You pay for the result

Only verified new paying customers count. The creator gets their reward, you get the customer's phone for loyalty, and it's logged.

See your numbers

You set the price of a new customer.

Your reward is what you pay a creator for each new paying customer — fully your call. Add your intro offer and what a first purchase is worth, and see a realistic month. Nothing is charged until a verified new customer actually buys.

Illustrative, and conservative on purpose — it counts only the first purchase. Repeat visits, larger baskets, and loyalty are upside you keep. Start modest; you can raise your reward anytime once you see what a customer is worth.
What you keep

The customer is yours. We just prove how they got there.

  • Their phone number for loyalty and SMS, when they opt in
  • Full control of your offer — adjust it forward anytime
  • A live count of new paying customers and which creator sent them
  • Total cost transparency — no caps, no surprise invoices
Deferred billing
$0 to go live

Set up your offer with no card and no bank on file. You see a real verified new customer appear first. We collect a payment method only at your first payout — so you pay against proven value, never a promise.

Questions

Good to know

What exactly am I paying for? +

A verified new customer who made a purchase because a creator recommended you. Not views, not clicks, not foot-traffic estimates — a real first-time customer who bought something in person. If someone just browses and doesn’t buy, you pay nothing.

How do you know they're actually new? +

At redemption we capture the customer and check them against your existing customers. Repeat or returning visitors are counted as your own and don't trigger a reward.

Who sets the reward? +

You do. It's your cost per new paying customer, fully in your control, and you can adjust it forward at any time. There's no spending cap and no minimum. For a coffee shop, a dollar or two is typical; a salon or restaurant might set more, because a new customer is worth more to them.

What does a creator have to do? +

Post your offer and share their link. They only earn when they actually drive a verified paying customer — so their incentive is aligned with your results, not their follower count.

Do my customers need to download an app? +

No. They save a pass to the wallet already on their phone — with your offer, a map, and a reminder. Nothing to install.

That's the whole pitch: there is no version of this where you spend money and get nothing back. If no verified new customer shows up, you pay nothing.
