Become a Partner ↓Choose a percentage off or a fixed-dollar deal — whatever fits your business. You set it once.
They scan your QR code, show their phone, you apply the discount. Same as any coupon. No special equipment, no POS changes.
Every week you get a report: how many athletes visited, your community contribution total, and a one-tap payment link.
The first 10 businesses in each market join free. No initiation fee — ever. Founding Partners get permanent featured placement and help shape the program from day one.

Takes 2 minutes. You set your offer once, then athletes do the rest.
Choose how you'll discount for SGL athletes. You set it once — athletes see it when they check in.
This discount is split between athlete savings and a community donation based on the athlete's tier.
Example: 10% discount → athletes save 5–8%, community gets 2–5% depending on tier.
Set a specific offer for each tier. Athletes unlock better offers as they level up.
Suggested: $1–$5 per athlete visit. You only contribute when athletes show up.
