The Business Side

Now the owner's side — what they control, what happens to the money, and what they get back. What they control. Three dials: the earn rate — how many Boons a customer gets per dollar; their member discount — what Boonora+ members get at their counter, up to five percent; and their specials — limited-time offers they email to their own members with one click, and that appear on the network's specials board for any member to browse. Their earn rate, their member discount, their specials — those are theirs to set. Two numbers are fixed across the network: a Boon is always worth one cent, and Premium is always twenty percent off — those are Boonora's promises, and every business on the network honors them. On a register we run, Premium's twenty percent comes off automatically; on a shop's own register the terminal shows the cashier the twenty percent to take off. Think of it the way a store accepts a credit card: the terms come with the network. The money. Boons a customer earned at the bakery and spent at the clinic are real value that moved between two businesses. Boonora keeps one running balance per business — Boons it funded that were redeemed elsewhere versus Boons another business funded that it honored — and settles it with Boonora, never business to business: the automatic Friday deposit covers what they honored, and a netted run squares that against what they funded. When a business honors more than it funded, the network owes it money; when the reverse, what it funded is netted against what it's owed and any remainder is raised as a net-thirty bill. There's a one-percent issuance fee on the Boons they award — gift cards and loads carry no purchase fee — and a program fee of three-quarters of a percent on settled cross-business activity, paid by the business honoring the value. Payouts go to the business's bank through Stripe once it's connected. What they see. A Boonora Accounting page: what's owed to them, what they owe, their Boonora payments and settlement lines, their payouts — all of it exportable to CSV. Nothing hidden. And our point of sale does the work — staff scan the customer's code, their tier and member discount come off the ticket automatically, and the register only ever offers Boons up to the program's limits, twenty-five dollars a sale and fifty a member a day, and takes the rest another way. What they get. New customers from every other business on the network. A reason for existing customers to come back. Optionally their own texting number for talking with customers — carrier registration required — while Boonora's own member texts ride the shared network line. And a loyalty program that does the math itself — no punch cards, no staff remembering rules; scan the member's code and the Boons land on their own.
