La Verne Chamber Of Commerce: Introducing The Shop La Verne EGift Card Program

Press release from La Verne Chamber of Commerce:

July 19, 2021

At the La Verne Chamber of Commerce, we’re always looking for innovative ways to grow our members' businesses and build community. To that end, we’re excited to introduce the Shop La Verne Card!

Consumers can purchase the card as gifts or for self-use, and companies can use it for employee rewards, anniversary gifts, customer appreciation, survey incentives, contests and anything they might have used a gift card for – but the dollars stay local and benefit our shops and restaurants and our community.
People will purchase the cards online and email, text or print them for use in your shops and restaurants.

To accept the cards, you need to be able to process a key-entry (like a phone order) Mastercard, and you are paid through your credit card bank in your normal settlement, with your normal Mastercard CNP processing fee. The cards only work at participating merchants – that is, those who opt-in.

There is no cost to you to participate in the program. To opt-in, you simply run a 10 cent charge (or whatever is your minimum) on a prepaid Mastercard that Yiftee, our technology partner, will send you by email (the “Activation Card”). This is your authorization to participate and you are agreeing to Yiftee’s Merchant Agreement found here. More info on the program is attached.

Please contact us as soon as possible if you are interested in being able to accept these Cards and the additional business they bring to your store. We are planning to launch in the near future and merchants who are signed up will be featured.
