Six simple steps

From joining as a business to saving money as an employee — here's the full journey.

01

Business joins

A local business registers as a Wymondham TownPerks partner. They receive a Partner window sticker, a listing on the website, and access to a simple employee-management dashboard.

02

Employees are registered

The employer adds their eligible employees to the TownPerks system. Only current employees of participating businesses qualify — membership is personal and non-transferable.

03

Employee receives membership

Each employee receives an individual digital membership card with a unique QR code, their name, employer name, and ACTIVE membership status.

04

Employee shops locally

The employee visits any other participating business and presents their TownPerks card before payment. No app download required — the card works on any mobile browser.

05

Membership is verified

Staff scan or check the QR code to confirm the membership is active. No payslips or employment documents needed — just a quick scan at the till.

06

Discount is applied

The participating business applies its TownPerks discount — 5%, 10%, or 15% at their discretion — through their existing till. Simple, fast, and no extra technology required.

For employees

Your digital membership card

The employee experience is designed to require as little effort as possible. TownPerks works through a mobile-friendly website — no app download needed. Your digital card can ultimately be added to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet.

Simply present your card before payment at any participating business. Staff scan or check the QR code and apply the discount through their existing till.

Works on any mobile browser — no app required
