Check-In & Attendance

Check-In & Attendance — Permission Base
All features
Events & Bookings

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.

The only all-in-one platform with native check-in.

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.

500 Reward points earned the moment they arrive.

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.

How it works — automatically

Four steps. Zero manual effort.

Check-in flow

From arrival to reward in one tap.

You create an event or location
Customer arrives & taps check-in
GPS verified automatically
500 points awarded instantly

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.

Two-way value exchange

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.

Customer → You Real-time location data & attendance
You → Customer 500 Reward points + tier upgrade
Customer → You Continued engagement & purchases on-site
You → Customer Compounding rewards for every action
Customer → You ✓ Referrals — bring a friend, both earn double
What you learn from every check-in

Business intelligence from real-world visits.

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.

Auto-created from events

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.

500 points per check-in

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.

Feeds email & community

Check-in data fuels email targeting (send to everyone who visited last Tuesday) and community activity — connecting in-person and online engagement seamlessly.

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.
