About VOWCHA

A shop issues a multi-visit coupon. The customer receives it on LINE and uses one at each visit. That is the whole idea.

How it works

Find it, receive it, use it later.

01

Find

Discover a shop’s coupon from its QR code or LINE.

02

Receive

Receive the whole multi-visit coupon in the LINE mini app. Registration is free.

03

Check

See the coupons you hold on your phone at any time.

04

Use

Show the screen at checkout and use one coupon. No paper, no card.

Coupon design

Monthly, weekly, daily, anniversary. Coupons that fit how people visit.

Not a one-off discount but a design for visits that continue for one to two years. The shop decides the value and can issue up to four kinds.

Monthly

12 visits

Monthly

For a monthly visit: hair salons, beauty, massage.

Weekly

52 visits

Weekly

For a weekly habit: gyms, yoga, lessons.

Daily

365 visits

Daily

For every day: lunch, cafés, take-away.

Anniversary

12 visits

Anniversary

For one special day a year: birthdays, anniversaries, events.

One coupon per bill. Coupons cannot be combined with other coupons, exchanged for cash or resold.

Why it works for shops

Zero cost for the shop. Four industry firsts.

01

No setup cost

No membership, system or initial fee. No POS terminal or special device.

02

No issuing fee

None of the issuing fees that are usual with shared point programs.

03

ACTIVA covers the discount

In Japan, the discount customers use is paid back to the shop by ACTIVA the following month.

04

Everything on LINE

Customers need no app. The shop’s admin screen works on a phone.

Events & communities

Events, shopping streets and partner apps.

Food festivals and markets

Visitors receive coupons at the venue and use them at booths. Hundreds of booths and thousands of users have been served at once.

Shopping streets and municipalities

A multi-visit coupon that carries on after a premium voucher program, with no budget and no redemption paperwork.

Partner app integration

Operators with their own member app can embed the VOWCHA coupon platform into it.
