How do I run a Local Traders Club?

A Local Traders Club makes the people working around you — market cafés, food halls and the shops nearby — feel like part of the place, not just passing custom. You build it in Your club, under What members get.

Set it up

Anything the menu marks Off shows Switched off when you open it: press Switch on and set it up (on a phone, + Add more lists them). Changes wait for Save in the bar at the bottom of the page, or at the top right of an offer’s full-screen editor on a phone.

1. The trader breakfast. Press Flat ongoing benefit in the menu. Choose Set price. In What they get, write “a breakfast item with coffee”.
2. Under When it can be used, press Add limits. Set From and Until to your early-morning hours, press Save limits, then Save.
3. The second brew price. Press Weekly & monthly offers in the menu. Choose Same every time, then % off on “a second hot drink”. Repeat every 1 week on every day you open, add your morning hours as a limit, and use Custom… and 1 day under How long they have. Press Save.
4. The after-close drink. Press Club perks in the menu, then Add a perk. Write a Heading such as “A member price on a drink once the shops shut”. Press Done.
5. The trader meet-up table. Press Add a perk again, with a Heading such as “A table kept back for a local catch-up”. Press Done, then Save.

What members get

A fixed-price breakfast, a cheaper second brew during the morning, a member price on a drink once the shops close, and a table when a few traders want to sit down together.

What your staff need to know

Share your join link and QR code with the traders around you rather than posting them publicly — print them from Your club, then Sharing. Scan the pass: breakfast and the second brew show ready to give in their hours. The evening drink and the meet-up table are Club perks, listed under Club perks when you scan.

How you’ll know it’s working

The Flat ongoing benefit card on What members get shows how many members claimed breakfast this month.
