So, what is the Localight app?

Simply put, it unites independent businesses with the power of the “big box” stores. There's no complicated setup or hardware. It just works!

Consumers earns points and unlock offers with each purchase. This ensures that the money recirculates in the local economy.

More new customers through targeted offers

The Localight app will match new customers to your business and give them incentives to buy from you.

More frequent purchases as customers earn points

They can earn points at your business, then spend their points like cash. Localight deposits cash in your account.

Cross-promote with our local nonprofits

Nonprofit supporters can donate Change for Charity and earn extra points when they pay with the Localight app.

How does money flow? What does it cost?

Localight will cross-promote your business to new customers, engage existing ones, and reward them for their loyalty. They pay within the app and the money is deposited to your account. A normal transaction fee of (3-4%) applies. Localight will give 2% back to the customer as points, or they can use an Offer. The balance will be deposited to your account in one week. Offers bring in new customers, and Points bring customers back again and again.

When is this rolling out along AZ-19?

In order to allow time for set-up and to learn about the program, Localight will follow this monthly schedule:

October: Businesses invite customers to cross-promote one another, earn rewards, and contribute Change for Charity.
November: Localight will provide resources to prepare for the holiday season.

Do I need special POS equipment or integration?

No. Deposits are made directly to your deposit account on a weekly basis. Add your banking information in the form (step 3).

When will customers be able to use Localight?

Starting in October the general public will be invited to use the Localight app at participating businesses. You will be able to "turn it on" when you are comfortable and ready.

How do offers work?

Offers help bring in new customers, and reward existing customers. The fee for each used offer is 9%. The balance of the transaction will be deposited to your bank account.

How does "Change for Charity" work?

Each business chooses a nonprofit to recommend, and your customers will be prompted to donate their change within the app. If the purchase price is $50.25 the donation would be 75¢.

When will points launch and how do they work?

Customers will be able to start earning points this 2021 holiday season, we are aiming for Black Friday. When customers earn points they can use them at any Localight business. Points are paid out at 100%, meaning that you will receive 100% of the money for items purchased with points.
