Snap and get cashback with Snapcart; now packed with added features!

Snapcart users can now enjoy the app more as it brings in more updates and added features to increase cashbacks, simply by snapping receipts!

Snapcart is a mobile app that gives its users cashback by simply taking a snap of grocery receipts. In turn, data gathered from receipts provide real-time shopper insights to the app’s partner brands.

To bring in more rewards to app users, Snapcart announced users may take a snap, not just of grocery – but other retail stores such as pharmacies, health and beauty stores.  This will eventually expand to all retail establishments including food & beverages, electronics, and apparels, to name a few. Rewards increase as users regularly use the app. 

“We received an overwhelming response from users. We got more than a thousand downloads per day in the first weeks of the launch, surpassing our already strong results in Indonesia, but we still got questions on what receipts to upload. To take the guesswork out and make it more rewarding for users, Snapcart decided to update its features to accept all types of receipts. We also made it more engaging by introducing in-app games that could let users win even more rewards”, said Snapcart Co-founder, Mayeth Condicion.

The new game is called Snaptastic, an in-app bonus game feature where users can accumulate coins just by filling out in-app surveys, watching videos, taking selfies with their favorite products, or guessing mystery products. These coins may be used to increase users’ chances of getting cash, and other interesting surprises like shopping vouchers from Snapcart’s partner brands.

What’s in it for enterprises?

On a global scale, e-commerce giants like Amazon and eBay dominate the use of real-time data analytics. Off the shelf brands continue to rely on manually gathered and limited data on consumer preferences and behavior.

In the Philippines, the online retail market accounts for more or less 3% of the population, majority of Filipino shoppers still prefer doing their shopping off the shelf, thus the need for a more efficient way to gather offline and online data.

Snapcart technology is able to bridge the gap in gathering online and offline data by analyzing receipts in real time, and providing meaningful insights on how to understand customers better, to grow brands, and to see what drives growth or assess effectiveness of marketing promotions and campaigns.

As Snapcart processes more variety of receipts, the app can expand data analytics services to industries beyond Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) to fashion, electronics, or food and beverages brands to name a few, providing more brands with better understanding of shoppers’ habits and preferences.

Snaptastic makes shopping more fun for users. While users have fun playing the in-app game, and increase cashbacks, brands on the other hand, gain more insight on consumer behavior through surveys, crowd-sourced images or more receipts that they submit while playing the game.

This is a breakthrough in an otherwise traditional way of conducting and answering surveys, and helps obtain even deeper insights about shoppers.

My Snapcart Experience

I was one of the guests for the Snapcart Media Launch last October 12, 2016 at Max's Glorietta 3 Makati City. It was a brief discussion and introduction about the app that is now paving its way in the digital world. 

As of the moment, it is only available for download on Android phones but sooner it will also be available on AppStore and also, the only way to cash out is through bank accounts but soon they will be introducing other means that are more convenient to the users of the app. 

Some of the things I learned about the app is that it now accepts almost all kinds of receipts - including those used with credit cards and online shopping - and with any amount in it. Unlike before when the app has certain product requirements, it now accepts all kinds of products. Just make sure that the receipt is clear enough for verification, else it will be rejected. Receipts are valid for snap 7 days fom date of purchase.  The more receipts you submit and the more frequent you engage in the app, the bigger the chance to level up your points multiplier, which means bigger cashback. You can also answer surveys, watch videos and join in tasks to earn coins which can be used to play Snaptastic. Random prizes is at stake upon playing Snaptastic game. The first time I tried it, I got Php7.00 additional cashback. Really fantastic and fun-tastic, right? So from now on, make sure to keep all those receipts with you and snap them right away thru Snapcart. Earn and have fun with your receipts. One friendly reminder, cashbacks are updated after some days so don't throw away the receipts unless they are already verified in the app...happy snapping!!

I spent 50 coins to play Snaptastic and this is what I won...

Snapcart is Asia’s first real-time shopper engagement app where it allows brands to connect with its consumers directly. Since its launch in August 2016 in the Philippines (September 2015 in Indonesia), the app has been downloaded for over 20,000 times (500,000 in Indonesia) with very minimum marketing push. In attracting its loyal users, Snapcart offers cashbacks for users to upload their shopping receipts. Receipts’ data that Snapcart gets are compiled onto the company’s cloud-based data platform, which then used to provide clients with reports on real-time offline consumer spending and shopping habits--an inherently difficult information to source. To date, globally, Snapcart has partnered up with over 75 brands of fast-moving consumer goods. For more information, visit www.snapcart.asia.
