SnapChing is for small Canadian merchants who are selling local goods and services from physical retail locations. It’s a secure information-sharing platform, which allows merchants to easily track promotions directly to an individual Shopper’s identity upon redemption. Unlike other coupon sharing platforms whose fees are based on distribution, SnapChing fees are based on engagement, making it a much more efficient and effective marketing solution.
