Payments, Rewards, Marketing App for Dispensaries

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Spendr?

Spendr helps dispensaries grow by cultivating a loyal, high-spending community with marketing, loyalty, and payments built for cannabis.

Ensure customers visit often and spend more with fast, compliant, and cashless payments plus real rewards funded by Spendr. Engage new and existing dispensary customers with deals and special discounts through in-app and email channels. Implement Spendr in hours, not weeks alongside your other platforms and enjoy the peace of mind included with our money-back guarantee.

How do Spendr transactions work?

First, the clerk adds the total price of items to be purchased into the merchant side of the Spendr App, which automatically cues a QR code.

The customer then scans the QR code and confirms the transaction on their mobile device. Payment is transferred instantly into your account from their FDIC-insured digital wallet. Simple and secure, every single time.

Please note, if the consumer is unable to scan the QR code, we provide a push payment solution that will send a request to the phone number associated with the consumers Spendr account.

How do Spendr users benefit?

Spendr is the most rewarding, simple-to-use payment method for customers. They’re able to store their ID/medical cards, leave the cash at home, skip the ATM/transaction fees, and earn rewards for buying the products they love (from your store).

The transaction process is QR-code based, which means it’s far faster than counting cash or finagling with a PIN debit system. The customer simply scans a QR code and the funds are deposited from their account to yours

What are the rewards?

Spendr users can earn $25 after linking their bank and trying out the app at a Spendr merchant. We also offer rewards throughout the year (around 4/20, 7/10, winter holidays, etc.) including money back for spending a certain amount. These rewards may shift over time, and Spendr has a more formal, consistent rewards program in the works.

Why should I offer Spendr?

Offering Spendr and encouraging your customers to adopt it as their payment method of choice will drive more revenue for you.

Spendr users visit more often, buy more at a time, and have a better overall experience. All of this leads to more customers, more visits, and more revenue.

We provide launch marketing to our users in your area, ensuring they know about your dispensary and that they can now use Spendr there to earn rewards + pay without cash/PIN debit fees.

But in order to deliver on the Spendr promise of helping dispensaries cultivate a community of high-spending regulars, we’ll also need your help.

After signing up, we provide in-store stickers and promotional cards with QR codes, as well as digital banners for use on your website/online menu.

All you have to do is ensure your customers know that Spendr is available by displaying the digital/physical signage and your budtenders know (and share) the benefits of Spendr during a transaction.

How does the marketing work?

The marketing options available for cannabis dispensaries are limited. That’s why we built retention marketing into the app with Spendr Deals.

Spendr Deals is a section of the app that updates weekly with deals for each user, personalized to include only dispensaries they recently visited.

Dispensaries send us their deals each week/month, and we’re able to highlight them and ensure your customers always know what’s on sale with a quick tap in Spendr.

They can then tap the link and visit your online menu, ready to shop with new discounts on their minds.

What is onboarding like?

Onboarding with Spendr is far quicker than most platforms. The process can be completed in just a few days, not months.

First, you sign the contract/MSA to get started with the onboarding process (don’t worry, this doesn’t lock you into a commitment).

Next, we’ll run a compliance review to ensure that we’re able to legally serve your business. Once the compliance review is complete, it’s time for team onboarding. We provide a variety of assets to ensure you and your team are comfortable with the app and its functionality.

Finally, we’ll schedule an in-store launch and additional vendor days so your customers (and team) can meet the people behind Spendr and experience the benefits of Spendr firsthand. The primary factor that influences this process is the availability of documentation from the merchant side, and the timeliness of providing it for our compliance review.
