LeadBounty

What LeadBounty is

LeadBounty is a web-based referral program platform for local businesses. Businesses can start a campaign from a template or build one, set reward milestones and rules, and choose a welcome gift. Customers participate through a one-tap link or QR code, without downloading an app. Reward choices include gift cards, store credit, VIP perks, free products, branded swag, planted trees, and other options. Staff can scan redemption codes with a phone or tablet using LeadBounty or its installable web Scanner; redemptions are logged automatically. Alliances let complementary businesses share a referral reward menu and send customers to one another. LeadBounty names Square, Shopify, and Lightspeed as POS integrations, using official APIs without requesting POS passwords. Contacts can be exported to Mailchimp through a one-way email-matched sync. The Free plan costs nothing and includes one campaign and three referrals per campaign per month. Paid plans start at C$39 a month. The site says data is encrypted in transit, hosted on AWS, and handled under PIPEDA.

Limits
