Venue Partner Guide
Grow With Verified Visits
Belong CheckIn connects venues with real visitors, not impressions.
It transforms promotions into measurable outcomes: visits, check-ins, and verified spend — all tracked transparently on-chain.
Overview
Belong allows your venue to:
- Bring in new customers through community-driven referrals.
- Reward real visits and verified transactions.
- Control campaign budgets precisely — pay only for verified engagement.
- Adapt reward structures to regional compliance requirements.
All activity is verified automatically using GPS, device signals, and check-in logic.
No guesswork, no fake traffic — just measurable, funded engagement.
How It Works
- Set Your Campaign Budget: Define a total spend denominated in USDC or LONG.
- Choose Reward Mode: Select between Customer, Promoter, or Split model.
- Define Rewards: Set your check-in bounty and/or percentage of spend.
- Launch: Campaign goes live on the Belong CheckIn app for discovery and sharing.
- Pay for Verified Results Only: Payouts occur only after confirmed visits or purchases.
Venues maintain full control — you can pause, adjust, or top up campaigns anytime.
Marketing Your QR Code
Once your campaign is live, display your CheckIn QR code with clear, benefit-led messaging at reception desks, table cards, and entrances.
Belong provides ready-to-use copy examples organised by venue type — nightclubs, hotels, restaurants, gyms, and more.
See QR Signage Examples for headlines, sublines, short-form stickers, and messaging guidelines you can copy and customise.
Reward Modes (Regional Flexibility)
Belong supports three reward configurations to comply with local laws:
| Mode | Customer Reward | Promoter Reward | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Promoter-Only | Venue perks only | Check-in bounty + % of spend | Used where direct consumer incentives are limited |
| Customer-Only | Check-in bounty + rebate in LONG | None | Used where referral commissions are restricted |
| Split Mode | Shared check-in bonus + optional spend % | Shared proportionally | Default flexible setup |
Each campaign’s total reward cost per visit is fixed — Belong simply allocates that pool differently according to mode.
This flexibility ensures Belong campaigns can operate in any region without changing the underlying economics.
Key Features
Pay for Verified Results
You pay only when users actually check in and/or spend at your venue.
Verification uses a layered system combining:
- GPS and device confirmation
- QR/NFC check-in
- Payment or receipt validation
Fraud prevention ensures only genuine transactions trigger payouts.
Prepaid Campaigns
You pre-fund a campaign balance in USDC or LONG.
Rewards and platform fees are deducted automatically.
No overspending — campaigns end when funds deplete.
Transparent Accounting
All campaign activity, payouts, and fees are visible through your venue dashboard and mirrored on-chain for full transparency.

Funding Options
You can fund campaigns using:
- USDC: deposit directly to your venue wallet.
- LONG: deposit LONG; it’s credited to your campaign balance automatically.
- Fiat via partners: pay with card/bank through licensed payment partners; funds are converted to USDC and then credited to your campaign.
- Hybrid: any mix of the above.
Conversion to USDC is real-time and transparent.
Belong does not directly custody or transmit fiat; partners handle regulated fiat operations.
Accept LONG Tokens for Additional Benefits
Venues may optionally accept LONG tokens for on-premise payments to attract more customers and reduce payment friction.
Belong does not process these transactions — they are handled directly between the customer and venue or through licensed payment partners.
Benefits for venues:
- Instant settlement: no waiting for bank transfers.
- Lower processing costs: typically 2.5 % vs. 4–5 % for card payments.
- Customer incentive: venues can offer up to a 3 % discount on LONG payments to encourage usage.
- Flexibility: venues can hold LONG, stake it for fee reductions, or convert it to USDC/USD via licensed exchanges or partners.
Regional Adaptation
Belong’s framework complies with jurisdictional differences:
- Rewards may function as bounties, rebates, or discounts, depending on local classification.
- LONG serves purely as a settlement and utility token, not an investment asset.
- Venues can restrict payout mode (USDC only, LONG only, or mixed) to meet local compliance needs.
- Belong dynamically adjusts disclosures and user flows by region.
Deposit Fees
Belong CheckIn uses a transparent, performance-based fee model.
You can reduce your deposit fees by staking LONG tokens or by maintaining campaign history on the platform.
| Your Status | Deposit Fee | Example: Deposit $500 |
|---|---|---|
| First 2 deposits | 0% + $5 | Pay $505 total |
| Standard | 10% + $5 | Pay $555 total |
| With Staking | 5–9% + $5 | Pay $530–$550 total |
Deposit fees are automatically applied at the time of campaign funding.
All deposits are denominated in USDC or LONG, and if you pay via fiat, the licensed partner converts it to USDC before deposit.
Venue Staking Benefits
Stake LONG tokens to reduce your deposit fees and unlock advanced visibility tools.
Staking is non-custodial — your tokens remain in your wallet and are locked for the campaign duration only.
| Tier | LONG Required | Deposit Fee |
|---|---|---|
| Bronze | 50,000 | 9% |
| Silver | 250,000 | 8% |
| Gold | 500,000 | 7% |
| Platinum | 1,000,000 | 5% |
Additional Benefits:
- Boosted discovery placement in the Belong CheckIn app
- Access to premium analytics and optimization tools
- Priority support and optional whitelabel customization credits
- Transparent, on-chain staking logic
- Tokens unlock automatically when campaigns end
Incentive Transparency
Each user sees their available rewards before visiting.
Promoters see campaign details, bounty amounts, and current splits.
You can update campaigns anytime, but changes apply only to future check-ins.
Staking affects only venue-side fees and exposure, never user or promoter rewards.
It ensures that highly engaged venues receive lower deposit costs and stronger visibility — creating a fair and scalable marketplace.
Payment and Settlement Flow
- Pre-Fund Campaign: Deposit USDC or LONG into your venue wallet. (If paying in fiat, a licensed partner converts it to USDC before deposit.)
- Engagement: Customers discover your venue and check in.
- Verification: Device + spend confirmed.
- Reward Distribution: LONG and/or USDC payouts sent to users and promoters.
- Reporting: Full transaction record available in your dashboard.
All fiat top-ups and settlements are handled exclusively through regulated financial partners that hold the required payment or money-transmission licenses in each jurisdiction.
Belong coordinates campaign logic and verification but does not directly custody or transmit fiat.
No reward leaves your budget until Belong confirms verified activity.
Funds cannot be redirected or withdrawn mid-verification to prevent manipulation.
Example of Reward Allocation
Let’s look at two customers visiting the same venue:
| Visit Type | Who Earns | Where Reward Comes From |
|---|---|---|
| Direct (in-app) | Customer only | Venue’s fixed campaign budget |
| Referral (promoter link) | Customer + promoter | Shared from same venue budget |
No “extra” tokens are created — Belong simply splits your pre-funded pool according to campaign logic.
The budget and payout math always balance.
