Consent you can produce on request
Each activation is an explicit opt-in that names your business, logged with a timestamp and what the customer agreed to. They can withdraw it from the same screen where they gave it.
Put an offer on your own digital receipts and customers accept it in one tap, opt-in included.
Reach only the customers who paid you
Your card shows up under the receipt you issued, and only the customer who paid you sees it. Smartbills doesn't sell ad inventory, and nobody bids against you for the spot.
- Shown only to customers holding one of your receipts
- Your name, your logo, your copy
- No auction and no third-party targeting
Sign-up in one tap
The customer is already signed in to Smartbills and their contact details are known. Joining your program or claiming an offer takes one tap where it would normally take a form.
- Loyalty enrolment without a form to fill in
- App installs that arrive with the customer already known
- Offer claims that redeem at your terminal
Receipt marketing, measured on the next purchase
Because the receipt, the activation and the next visit live on one record, the report tells you how many customers came back and how much they spent when they did.
How customer activation works
Receipts reach the app
Customers who pay at a store that sends receipts through Smartbills can have their receipt filed in Smartbills, which puts your business in front of them after the visit.
Write your offer
Add a line of copy, your logo and one action: join the program, install the app or claim an offer. Then pick first-time customers, lapsed customers or one location.
One tap to opt in
There's no form, because Smartbills already knows who they are. The opt-in is explicit, names your business and is logged.
See the results
Enrolments, installs and offer claims next to the return visits that followed, from the same sales records your books use.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What people ask us before they sign up.
Receipt marketing uses the receipt a customer already gets to bring them back: an offer, a sign-up or a reminder delivered with the digital receipt after they pay. Smartbills runs it on the digital receipts you already send, reaching only customers who bought from you, with consent you can produce on request.
No. There's no ad inventory, no auction and no targeting of people who haven't bought from you. Your activation appears only under your own receipts, to the customer who paid you.
What the receipt already told you, plus whatever the customer chose to share when they tapped: their purchases from you, how they get their receipts and their loyalty status. You never see what they bought from other merchants, and you never see their card number.
Customers open your app already recognized, because the activation passes along a matched identity and they land signed in and enrolled. They skip the sign-up form, which is where most first-time installs drop off.
No. Installing an app is only one of the three actions. Loyalty enrolment and offer claims need nothing more than the receipt and your point of sale, and merchants without an app run their whole loyalty program on the receipt.
It depends on your location, your sector and how long you've been sending digital receipts, and we'll give you the figure for your own business before you commit to anything. The number that matters is the share of your own paying customers who keep their receipts in Smartbills.
Yes. You can write activations at the brand level and target them to a location, a region or a franchisee, and reporting rolls up and drills down through the same structure.
