How it works

Using Magnet in 3 easy steps:

1. Create Your Offer

You know your business and what drives customer traffic and encourages purchase. Create a custom offer, like 5% or 10% cashback. The customer pays for the full transaction and Magnet bills you each month to collect the customer cash back and a small marketing fee tied to each card-linked transaction.

2. We Communicate the Offers

Each day your offers are showcased to millions of local customers promoted through mobile, social, and email channels.

3. You only pay when a card-linked purchase is made

Your offer is published for free. At the end of the month, you pay for your customer’s award and a small marketing fee for each sale delivered from Magnet.
