Getting Started: Why Merchant Activation Matters

One of the most important steps in launching your Community Card is engaging local merchants. The more businesses that participate, the more valuable the card becomes for your community.

We recommend starting with your 5–10 most popular or influential merchants. These early partners help build momentum and encourage others to join.

Step 1: Introduce the Program to Merchants

Before sending Activation Cards, it’s important to let merchants know what the Community Card is and why they’re receiving it.

Yiftee provides:

• A sample email

• A one-page overview of your Community Card program

Send these materials from your own email address so merchants recognize the sender and know to expect their Activation Card.

---

Step 2: Upload Your Merchant List

To send Activation Cards, you’ll first need to upload your merchant list into the portal.

1. Log in to your portal

2. Navigate to Manage Locations

3. Upload or add your merchant information

Once your merchants are added, you’ll be able to send Activation Cards directly from the portal.

Step 3: Send Activation Cards

Each merchant receives a unique Activation Card, which is a digital Mastercard preloaded with $0.10.

Merchants activate their participation by processing the card as a manual-entry Mastercard transaction:

• They may run it for $0.10, or

• Run it for $1 (this will be declined, but still captures the information Yiftee needs)

By processing the Activation Card, merchants agree to the Yiftee Community Card Merchant Agreement and are officially enrolled in your program.

What to Expect in Your First Week

By the end of your first week, you should have:

• Your portal fully set up

• A handful of influential merchants activated

• Your Community Card program live and ready to grow
