Adding Bitcoin micro-rewards to products so brands capture post-purchase data and shoppers win every scan.

• Gamified incentives: Every scan awards Bitcoin, turning ordinary products into repeat-engagement engines.
• Real-time analytics: Brands see precise consumption data and feedback beyond the point of sale.
• Patent pending: Proprietary QR-to-Bitcoin payout workflow filed to protect core technology.
• Seasoned founders: Leadership combines Fortune-500 engineering, Silicon Valley software, and Bitcoin expertise.
• Scalable model: SaaS dashboard and self-serve code generation enable rapid onboarding across multiple sectors.

Beyond The Checkout turns any physical or digital product into an interactive experience by applying a unique QR code that unlocks instant Bitcoin rewards each time a customer scans. Every scan enters the buyer into a gamified prize pool while capturing who, when, and where the product is used, arming brands with real-time post-purchase insights that traditional receipt or loyalty programs miss. The platform’s blockchain-based payout engine delivers seamless micro-rewards, creating ongoing excitement, deeper product education, and measurable increases in repeat engagement for categories ranging from food and beverage to health and wellness.

The company is raising up to $400,000 via a SAFE at a $5 million valuation cap to finish its self-serve business dashboard, launch native iOS and Android apps, and scale pilot programs with early partners such as prescription-rewards startup NiHowdy. Funds will also support marketing that targets consumer brands eager to differentiate on-shelf with built-in incentives and lower their data-acquisition costs. With a patent-pending system, seasoned founders from automotive, aerospace, and Silicon Valley software, and a roadmap to $21 million in revenue by 2027, Beyond The Checkout aims to redefine product engagement and loyalty through frictionless Bitcoin micro-incentives.

Company Info

Beyond The Checkout turns product QR codes into bitcoin-reward touchpoints that give brands real-time post-purchase engagement data.

Beyond The Checkout develops a QR-code-based rewards platform that embeds bitcoin incentives into physical and digital products, enabling brands to engage purchasers after the point of sale. Each item carries a unique code; when consumers scan it with the mobile app they receive an instant bitcoin prize, ranging from small satoshi awards to larger jackpots. The scan also triggers a brief interactive experience—product education, discount offers, or micro-surveys—whose responses feed directly into a real-time analytics dashboard. Brands gain visibility into where, when, and how frequently products are consumed, turning previously invisible usage data into actionable insights for marketing, inventory management, and product development.

The system operates on a software-as-a-service model: companies subscribe to generate QR codes, configure reward probabilities, and monitor campaign performance. Bitcoin payouts are handled over the Lightning Network, providing immediate, low-cost settlement and transparent reward auditing. Early use cases span food and beverage, health and wellness, retail packaging, and promotional inserts, with an initial integration rewarding prescription-medicine customers. A self-service portal, native mobile apps, and patent-pending technology are scheduled to roll out through 2025. By combining gamified loyalty, post-purchase data collection, and blockchain settlement, Beyond The Checkout aims to transform static products into continuous engagement channels.
