Shopt, a cash rewards app for convenience retailers, has launched a Refer a Friend scheme, designed to help engage retailers and recruit new users to the app.
The new initiative allows retailers to earn rewards by referring fellow convenience store owners to the platform, driving growth and building a stronger community within the industry.
The scheme was unveiled at an event at Sky Garden in Birmingham’s Resort World, attended by a select group of leading convenience retailers. The event provided an opportunity for retailers to offer feedback, share experiences, and learn more about the benefits of the Refer a Friend scheme.
Alexa Hester, head of marketing and engagement at Shopt, said: “We’re always looking for ways to support local retailers and the new Refer a Friend scheme offers users the chance to share the benefits of Shopt—and earn up to £1,000 referral bonus.
“Simply by referring another retailer to the app, users can unlock cash rewards. Once the referred retailer registers and begins claiming rewards, both parties receive a cash bonus, which is automatically added to their wallets.

“The event was a fantastic opportunity to connect with retailers and hear their thoughts, as well as discuss how we can further enhance our offerings.”
Atul Sodha, Londis Harefield, Uxbridge, added: “Shopt listen, if you go to them with an issue, they find you a good solution and I like the two-way conversation that we’ve got.”
Shopt also invited key brands it partners with, allowing attendees to speak directly to brand representatives, explore new products, and discuss partnership opportunities. The event featured interactive breakout sessions that allowed retailers to share their experiences in smaller groups, enabling deeper discussions about their unique challenges and insights.
Avtar Sidhu, St John’s Budgens, Kenilworth, Warwickshire, said: “I think today has been fantastic, from the brands that came in, to the whole format with the groups and the pods. It gave us the opportunity to have real close dialogue and to hear the relevancy of their journey on Shopt itself and how we can engage on the app. It was also great to speak to Shopt and see where they are today and the evolution of the app and how we can all help improve it.”
