Promoter Earnings Guide

How promoters earn by sharing venues with Belong CheckIn.

Turn Your Influence Into Income

Overview

Belong CheckIn pays you for real-world outcomes, verified transparently.
You share venues and events; when your audience visits, checks in, and spends, you earn a check-in bonus plus a percentage of verified spend — both configured by the venue within their campaign budget.
Attribution is on-chain, wallet-optional, and payouts are automatic after verification.
Every payout originates from venue marketing budgets, not token issuance or speculative activity.


Core Principles

  • Performance-based: You earn only when a verified visit or spend occurs.
  • Wallet-optional: Users and promoters can participate with or without crypto wallets.
  • Transparent: Every check-in and payout is verifiable on-chain.
  • User-first: Visitors always receive their check-in bonus and venue perks.
  • Configurable rewards: Venues set spend percentages and decide whether to share the check-in bounty with visitors/promoters/both.
  • Fraud-resistant: Multi-layer verification ensures rewards trigger only on genuine activity.
  • Regionally compliant: Each campaign’s configuration adapts to local regulations regarding reward distribution.

How You Earn — Dual Path Simplicity

A) Promoter-Linked (You Earn)

  1. You share a trackable link or QR code.
  2. A user taps your link, arrives, and checks in via QR, NFC, or in-app flow.
  3. The user receives their check-in bonus and any venue perk.
  4. After verified spend, you earn your promoter share — a portion of the campaign bounty and/or a percentage of verified spend.
  5. Campaigns may optionally split the check-in bonus (for example, 70 % visitor / 30 % promoter).
  6. Settlement occurs automatically once verification completes, with funding drawn from the venue’s prepaid campaign deposit.

B) Direct Discovery (User Only)

  • The user finds the venue directly in-app and checks in.
  • They receive their check-in bonus and any applicable perk.
  • No promoter payout is triggered in this case — all rewards go to the customer.
  • Venues may choose to add exclusive bonuses for referral-linked visits (faster verification, limited-time promotions, etc.).

Visit Lifecycle

  1. View: User clicks your link or scans your QR.
  2. Arrival: GPS and device signals confirm presence.
  3. CheckIn: QR/NFC/App binds the visit.
  4. Spend: Payment or receipt data confirms a purchase, independent of payment method.
  5. Verification: The system authenticates the match between check-in and spend.
  6. Payout: Your reward (check-in bounty and/or spend percentage) is released automatically.

Reward Allocation Models (Regional Flexibility)

Belong supports multiple models to stay compliant with regional regulations:

ModeCustomer RewardPromoter RewardNotes
Promoter-OnlyVenue perks onlyCheck-in bounty + % of spendUsed where customer incentives face limits
Customer-OnlyCheck-in bounty + LONG rebateNoneCommon in rebate-permitted regions
Split ModeShared bounty according to ratio (e.g. 80 / 20)Shared percentageDefault flexible configuration

No matter which mode a venue selects, the total budget per verified visit remains constant.
Belong simply reallocates the same reward pool according to campaign design.


CheckIn Bonus Split

Campaigns can configure how the base LONG reward divides between visitor and promoter.

  • Example: 5 LONG bonus split 70 % visitor / 30 % promoter.
  • Spend percentage is independent and configured by each venue.
  • Ratios display in your dashboard before sharing.
  • Higher staking tiers may unlock improved splits or larger pools.
  • All payments originate from venue-deposited budgets — no dilution or treasury subsidies.

Two-Part Reward Structure

Each venue defines its campaign rewards using two components:

  1. Visit Bounty (CheckIn Bonus): A fixed amount for bringing a customer (for example, $2–$20 or equivalent LONG).
  2. Spend Bonus: A configurable percentage of verified spend (for example, 5–25 %).

Your Total Earnings = Visit Bounty + Spend Bonus (venue-defined)


Real Earning Examples

Coffee Shop Visit:

  • Customer spends: $20
  • Venue offers: $2 bounty + 8 % of bill
  • You earn: $2 + $1.60 = $3.60

Restaurant Visit:

  • Customer spends: $100
  • Venue offers: $10 bounty + 15 % of bill
  • You earn: $10 + $15 = $25

Bar Visit:

  • Customer spends: $75
  • Venue offers: $8 bounty + 12 % of bill
  • You earn: $8 + $9 = $17

All values are examples; actual payouts depend on the venue’s active campaign.
