Every walk-inis a transactionyou can settle.
Instagram sells impressions. Google sells clicks. Hibi sells walk-ins. A local creator posts with a code, the customer redeems it at your counter, and the fee comes out of that sale.
Stores are billed on views and clicks. No platform can tell them who walked in.
The platform, the agency and the creator are all paid before a single customer shows up. Nobody counts which creator brought whom, so ROI is guessed, never known.
Payouts are tied to posts, not customers. Most of any audience lives nowhere near the store — those views are paid for and can never become a visit.
Stores overpay for attention. Creators go unpaid for outcomes. And nobody is paid for the second visit.
From a post to a paid visit, in three steps
01Post
A local creator visits and posts. The post carries a code that is theirs alone.
02Counter
The customer shows it at checkout. Staff confirm the amount, and the reward opens.
03Settlement
One line lands: who sent them, what they spent, what came out of the sale.
One line per visit: creator, time, spend, first visit or return. Nobody else writes it — not the ad platforms, not the agencies, not the register.
Everyone is paid out of the same sale: a customer at the counter.
- Merchant keeps
- $85.00
- Creator earns
- $10.50
- Hibi
- $4.50
Pilot terms: 15% on a first visit, deducted from that sale. The creator keeps 70% of it. The reward is funded by the merchant out of the same sale, and nothing is charged to the customer.
Marketing becomes a cut of the sale
Every fee is deducted from what those customers spend — first visit and every return. Nothing upfront, and the rate falls as they become a regular.
Influence becomes a sales force
Matched to stores their audience can actually walk into. No middlemen: paid per customer and per return, out of the same sales.
A reward becomes a reason to return
Not a coupon. A first visit wins up to the full bill; points, better odds and campaign perks bring them back.
One commission. Three rates. Nothing else.
No subscription, no setup fee, nothing prepaid. The rate only falls, and every regular keeps counting. You set the cap and the campaign length, and can pause anytime.
Everything this model needs has arrived — except the layer that holds it.
Showing a code at a counter needs no explaining. The layer nobody owns is where Hibi starts.

- Demand
Results, not views
Software bills by usage, cloud by compute, services by results. The offline visit never could, because no one counted it. 79% of marketers call ROI the hardest part of influencer spend.
- Proof
Visits are now an asset
Q1 2026: Wonder, Grubhub’s parent, bought Claim — cashback paid only after a visit. That put a price on three of our pillars. What Claim lacks is supply: it cannot see who created the intent.
- The gap
The missing layer
Owners are handing daily operations to AI agents — Meituan is teaching 3.4M merchants. But every agent is a silo, and post → counter → payout is a chain no single one holds.
Everyone owns a piece of it. Nobody owns all of it.
The marked columns are the ones no competitor holds at all. Claim has no creators to source the visit, the agencies never see the sale, and the ad platforms stop at the click.

One commission today. A record that compounds.
Every redemption writes the line you played with above — creator, store, time, spend, return. A campaign of them is something no ad platform can produce, and three things are built on it.
Better creators, each run
A store’s own lines decide who gets matched to it next, and a new store starts from the block’s history instead of from zero.
What the neighborhood does
Which blocks draw customers, when, from where, how much they spend. Anonymized and aggregated, sold to stores, landlords and brands.
A record worth buying
A creator who can prove paying customers, not views, gets priced on it — by our matching, and by brands who buy them out.
And every campaign leaves the store regulars, billed at 4% instead of 15%.
