Walk-in settlement · New York

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.

The problem

Stores are billed on views and clicks. No platform can tell them who walked in.

One creator campaign, paid upfront
$3,000

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.

What a creator earns per customer delivered
$0

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.

How it works

From a post to a paid visit, in three steps

Run a walk-inTap redeem. The reward is drawn at the counter — usually part of the bill, occasionally all of it.

01Post

@mika.eatsHIBI-M4K2nothing owed yet

A local creator visits and posts. The post carries a code that is theirs alone.

02Counter

$68.00
first visit · reward drawn

The customer shows it at checkout. Staff confirm the amount, and the reward opens.

03Settlement

Nothing to settle. Nothing owed.

One line lands: who sent them, what they spent, what came out of the sale.

The record

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.

Three sides, one transaction

Everyone is paid out of the same sale: a customer at the counter.

$100.00a first-visit bill 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.

Merchants

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.

Creators

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.

Customers

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.

Pilot pricing

One commission. Three rates. Nothing else.

First visitThe first time a creator-referred customer redeems at your store.15%of the bill
Return visitEvery time that customer comes back to you.8%of the bill
Every visit afterFrom the fourth on, for as long as they keep coming.4%of the bill

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.

Why now

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.

Why now
  • DemandResults, not views
  • ProofVisits are now an asset
  • The gapThe missing layer
  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

Competitive landscape

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.

The record

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.

Matching

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.

Insights

What the neighborhood does

Which blocks draw customers, when, from where, how much they spend. Anonymized and aggregated, sold to stores, landlords and brands.

Creators

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%.
