Marketing becomes a cut of the sale.
You set the fee per customer, the monthly cap and how long the campaign runs. Local creators bring the customers, and every fee comes out of what those customers spend — nothing before one walks in.
Your cap is not a budget. It is a number of people.
The fee is 15% of a first visit, 8% of a return, 4% once they are a regular, and it exists only where someone redeemed at your counter. When commission reaches your cap the campaign pauses itself — raise it, lower it or stop at any time. The reward a first-timer wins, up to the full bill, is funded out of that same sale.
One tap by staff. Under five seconds.
No new hardware and no POS integration for the pilot. Staff open Hibi, scan the code, confirm the amount — in bad light, at a busy counter, on a cashier’s first day.
Customer shows the code
One code per creator, one use per customer.
Staff confirm the amount
Scan, enter what they spent, done. Both sides confirm the same number.
The reward opens
It resolves on the spot, and the creator is credited in the same tap.
One settlement a week. Every line is a customer.
Each redemption writes one line: which creator, what time, what they spent, whether they came back. The fee comes out of those sales and settles weekly — every dollar reads back to a person at your counter.
One illustrative week: 23 walk-ins · 6 posts by 4 creators · $1,725 in sales · $190 in commission
Figures are illustrative. Actual numbers come from the first cohort of stores.
One commission. Three rates.
The rate falls as a customer becomes a regular, so each campaign leaves you cheaper traffic than it found. Pilot pricing; final rates are set with the first cohort and published here.
How is this different from Instagram or Google ads?
Those bill you before anyone shows up, for views and clicks, and no platform can tell you who walked in. Hibi takes a cut of a sale that already happened at your counter.
Do I have to pay anything upfront?
No. Fee, commission and reward all come out of what creator-referred customers spend, settled weekly. Topping up a balance is optional — it earns a verified badge and keeps creator payouts on time.
Who are the creators?
Local, mid-tier creators — typically 3K to 100K followers on Instagram or Xiaohongshu — matched to stores their audience can walk into. Paid per customer, not per post.
What kind of store is this for?
Restaurants, coffee, beauty and nails, fitness, local retail — any brick-and-mortar business with an average ticket of $15 or more.
Do I need new hardware or a POS integration?
Not for the pilot. Staff use Hibi on any phone or tablet. POS integrations follow once the first cohort is running.
How do you prevent fake redemptions?
One code per creator, one use per customer, staff confirmation at the counter, and outlier detection on timing, amount, device and location. Anything unusual is held for a person before it settles.
