Welcome to the front door of sports fans nationwide.
Each TapNPay+ annual membership fuels the college program or NIL student athlete a Real Fan cheers for every day, and rewards that Real Fan with instant cash back at your brand. In store or online, paid with your branded digital gift card, issued instantly in the exact amount.
Your Brand + Real Fans = Real Traffic
The Problem
From the local campus pizza shop to the largest national brand, we hear the same thing: “How can we engage sports fans and grow into a partnership with the programs?”
Real partnerships are built for brands ready to make a real commitment, and they earn every dollar. There has simply never been a smaller first step.
Nobody could connect a purchase back to the program that inspired it. Not the brand, not the program, not its partners. The data did not exist.
Getting a Real Fan to choose your brand, and keep choosing it, has always been a separate fight you pay for on your own.
Until Now
TapNPay+ The Bridge Between Your Brand
and Real Fans at Checkout.
Turnkey and free to start. Offer your digital gift card in the app and your brand is part of college programs, NIL student athletes and nationwide sports partnerships of TapNPay+ from day one.
NIL opportunities always run through the program’s compliance office, and brands in the network are where those conversations start. When you are ready to do more, the program and its partners come to the table with us. TapNPay+ does not replace anything anyone already does.
How It Works
You Fueling Their Team Retains Them 365
One purchase does all three, and it costs you nothing to start.
Instant cash back at your brand, funded by the gift card discount you already offer. No new budget and no media buy.
Each membership fuels the college program or NIL student athlete a Real Fan cheers for, every day of the year.
Choosing your brand sends money home. That is a reason to return that no discount can buy and no competitor can match.
What that produces
Real Fans open the app to find where to spend. You become a destination for Real Fans who were never going to find you otherwise.
Cash back stacks on top of every reward and perk a Real Fan already earns, so there is no reason to hold back at checkout.
This is groceries, dinner, pharmacy and everyday life. Real Fans use TapNPay+ year round, not six Saturdays a year.
Real Fans come back because choosing you fuels the program a Real Fan picked. That is a reason no discount can buy and no competitor can match.
How Fans Pay At Checkout
A Real Fan pulls up a digital gift card for the exact amount of the purchase, right at the register, in seconds. Nothing is bought ahead. Nothing sits unspent. It is created and used in the same moment.
The card matches the purchase to the penny, so there are no dormant balances drifting around with your brand on them.
Traditional gift cards sit on the balance sheet as deferred revenue and have to be tracked for years. An exact amount card is spent as fast as it is made.
A Real Fan paying with TapNPay+ costs you no card fees on the transaction.
Your rewards program, coupons and specials all still apply. A Real Fan still scans your loyalty card and still uses your offer, because TapNPay+ is how they pay, not a discount taken off your ticket.
Because paying this way fuels the program they picked. That is why a Real Fan reaches for it instead of a card.
Why Real Fans Choose You
Every other loyalty program buys repeat business with a discount, and the moment you stop discounting the customer leaves. Real Fans come back for a different reason. Part of what a Real Fan spends with you fuels the program that Real Fan picked and the athletes who play for it. Take that away and a Real Fan loses something that matters.
You are not renting attention. You are joining their team.
The Network
Real Fans already spend with hundreds of brands through TapNPay+, from single locations to national chains. Every one is somewhere a Real Fan can turn an everyday purchase into money for a program.
A sample of the brands Real Fans spend with today.
Every Brand Welcomed
Local, regional or national, if you offer gift cards your brand is welcome at TapNPay+. We work with you to grow it with Real Fans, whatever your footprint looks like today.
Local merchants welcome
Local
One location, one town. You show up for the Real Fans who fuel the program in your own backyard, and they choose you because of it.
Regional
A handful of markets. Be in front of every program whose Real Fans already live inside the territory you serve.
National
Every Real Fan, every program, everywhere the network reaches. One connection puts you in front of all of it.
Simple, Easy, Turnkey Real Fan Engagement.
Join The Network
Our + is always working. It routes Real Fans to your brand every day of the year, not six Saturdays in the fall.
No contract to negotiate, no media to buy and no fee to start.
Three things and you are live.
So a Real Fan can find you in the app and know you are one of the brands that fuels a program.
You set it. Merchants across the network run anywhere from 1% to 15%, and the average sits around 4%.
One contact who can answer a question and get you live. We handle the rest of the connection.
Your Next Move
Real Fans are already spending. The only question is whether they are spending with you. Starting is free, there is nothing to process when a Real Fan pays, and a program gets fueled every time one chooses you. Tell us about your brand and we will show you exactly how it works.
