What is MindKind?
MindKind connects high-quality local businesses with neighbors who want to support their community. Every day on MindKind, local businesses offer opportunities for people to build and influence their community.
What are opportunities?
Opportunities are all kinds of deals and events created by local businesses on MindKind.
What are communities?
On MindKind, a community is defined by its zip code. Whereas the dictionary likes to define a community as a group of people, we prefer to define a community as a geographical area. We find it more inclusive.
What are MIKI points?
You earn MIKI points via cash back and through the community program. You can use MIKI points towards purchases. 1,000 MIKI points = $10.
What is MindKind community program?
On each transaction, 5% goes into a community prize. Each month, neighbors can vote for a deserving winner who receives the prize. This is how we make sure that investment in community remains sustainable.
How does MindKind referral program work?
You can invite friends and get rewarded when they join. You will earn up to $200 worth of MIKI points for each friend you refer. The referral bonus is unlocked as soon as your friend redeems a first opportunity.
How do I activate my community?
Your community will be activated as soon as you fully redeem an opportunity within this community.
How do I get paid?
We use Stripe. Your MindKind account is credited each time a customer redeems an opportunity. Payouts to your Stripe account are scheduled every week. Stripe provides the appropriate tax documents at year-end.
What are locations?
You can add locations once you have created your business profile. Choose a business category, enter the physical address of your business, invite team members to help you manage and start creating deals and events.
What are the fees?
There is a 15% fee on each transaction. This fee is all-in and includes the payment processing fee. By the way, we redistribute most of it to your customers via cash back and to your community via the community program.
How do I validate an opportunity?
You can validate an opportunity simply by scanning the QR code or by manually entering the 6-digit code provided by your customer at check-in or check-out.
Can I participate in the Business Launch Program?
All new businesses are automatically enrolled in the Business Launch Program. This program supports the creation of new local businesses by offering cash rewards in the very first steps of their MindKind journey. Find more information about this program here.
