No — businesses do not receive reimbursement for discounts offered through the Community Marketplace.
This program is designed to spotlight local businesses and reward credit union members for shopping locally. As a participating business, the discount you offer is a voluntary, member-facing perk — similar to a storewide promotion or loyalty incentive.
Why There’s No Reimbursement
- The goal of the pilot is to drive visibility, foot traffic, and community connection, not create a financial transaction between Goodbuy, the credit union, and your business.
- By participating, you're gaining free exposure through the credit union’s online banking and marketing channels.
- Members are encouraged to choose your business over larger or national competitors because of the exclusive offer.
What You Get in Return
- A free listing in the Community Marketplace
- Promotion to thousands of local members
- A way to attract loyal, values-driven customers
- Support and feedback tools from the Goodbuy team
- Early access to future features or paid opportunities if the program expands
If the pilot is successful, we may explore new forms of member engagement or future paid partnerships — but for now, all offers are voluntary and not reimbursed.
