Earn Money While Helping Small Businesses Grow

The e.pop Affiliate Program offers local shoppers the chance to earn money via commission per merchant they sign up to an e.pop subscription. It also provides educators, influencers, and content creators with an opportunity to support local businesses and inspire and teach their audience about growing sales with e.pop. The program is free to join. 

e.pop is an innovative smart receipt app that enables merchants to send receipts directly to their customers’ phones. No more email receipts or wasteful paper receipts. Consumers can now easily keep track of and view their receipts and never lose a receipt again.  
 
Shoppers simply download the e.pop app to their phone, add their payment card(s) and shop at e.pop enabled merchant.  

Merchants simply register to e.pop and connect their POS (we support Square and Shopify POS systems). The whole sign-up and onboarding process takes less than five minutes! Immediately, customers with the e.pop mobile app automatically receive receipts from the merchant in the app 

As an e.pop affiliate, you “refer” merchants to e.pop and earn a commission every time one of your referred merchants subscribes to e.pop. There are many ways to refer e.pop to merchants.

2. They are able to retain customers and grow sales by sending offers to their customers  
3. They are the first to access new products and features 
4. They are contributing to shaping the development of digital receipts and eliminating paper receipts forever. 

We send all of our affiliate resources and marketing materials to talk about e.pop. We are committed to your success! 

An eligible referral is a business, company, or merchant that uses Shopify or Square as their Point of Sales system. When you walk into the store you can often find the square logo on the entrance door or on the payment processing system. Otherwise, you can just ask them!

Upon entering the store, you can say something like “Are you the store owner or manager? Who normally makes decisions about in-store tools?” 

It is important to remember that most of these stores are local business and the employee is usually the decision maker. 

Regardless of their response, try and give a demo so the employee can understand how the product works. Use the e.pop mobile app and show them what a shopper would typically see, especially the offers section so they can see how their brand would interact with new customers. 

If you’re not talking to the decision maker, try to either get his or her contact information or ask when he or she is normally in the store so you can stop back by at that time. 

Getting the merchant to scan your unique QR code is the best course of action. Starting the process in person significantly increases the chances of onboarding. Additionally, using helpful language like “the $9.99 is only for a limited time “creates a sense of urgency and makes the merchant more interested.
