Show up in person. Get rewarded for it.
Permission Base turns every physical location — your store, an event, a pop-up — into a GPS-enabled check-in point that earns customers Reward points the moment they arrive. Real-world visits drive digital engagement, and digital rewards drive them back through your door.
Foursquare shut down in December 2024. TapMango and Loopy Loyalty require separate subscriptions. Permission Base is the only platform with check-in built natively into rewards, email, events, and community.
Every visit to your location is a loyalty event. Customers show up, earn points, climb tiers, and come back for their discount — a cycle no standalone check-in tool can create.
Four steps. Zero manual effort.
From arrival to reward in one tap.
Add an address to any event and a GPS check-in point is created automatically. When a customer's location matches your venue, they see a check-in prompt on your site — one tap and they're in, no app download required. Your dashboard shows who checked in, when, and from where, feeding your event planning, email targeting, and tier management.
The only check-in that talks back to both sides.
Most check-in tools are one-directional — the customer taps, something is recorded, that's it. Permission Base check-in creates a genuine two-way exchange: the customer gives you their presence, and your platform immediately gives them something valuable in return.
Every visit creates a compounding loyalty loop.
Check-in data feeds email targeting, community activity, and rewards tier management. In-person attendance connects seamlessly to online engagement — so your most loyal customers are rewarded at every touchpoint, digital and physical.
Business intelligence from real-world visits.
See which customers show up most often in person — then use email or rewards to deepen that relationship further.
Geographic check-in data shows you which cities, zip codes, and regions your visitors are traveling from.
Check-in timestamps reveal your busiest periods — so you can staff, stock, and promote at exactly the right moments.
Compare check-in counts across events to see what your audience responds to — and double down on what works.
See how your check-in customers compare to online-only members in spending, loyalty, and community activity.
Track which check-in customers brought new members — so you know exactly who your real-world ambassadors are.
Foursquare shut down. The need for check-in didn't.
Foursquare City Guide — the app that popularized location check-ins — officially shut down in December 2024. The alternatives (TapMango, Loopy Loyalty, FiveStars) are standalone tools that businesses pay for separately, integrate manually, and manage in isolation from everything else. Permission Base check-in is the only version natively connected to your Rewards system, email campaigns, event schedule, community, and dashboard — all in one platform with no extra subscription.
Add an address to any event and a GPS check-in point is created automatically — no extra setup, active only for the duration of that event.
Location check-in is one of the highest point-earning actions on the platform — a powerful incentive that drives customers to show up in person.
Check-in data fuels email targeting (send to everyone who visited last Tuesday) and community activity — connecting in-person and online engagement seamlessly.
