ZAP gives customers a fixed amount in form of cash back every time they spend in any partner merchant. Customers can then use the cash back to pay for their purchases in these same establishments. Users need to make a ZAP account and enter their phone number at the merchant's ZAP terminals to get cash back. ZAP gives brick and mortar merchants precise data and allows them to know who their customers are, similar to Google Analytics. Using this data, they can then create targeted promotions to very specific customer segments (non-returning, high spenders, and others) and send digital coupons directly to customers’ ZAPtag (smart sticker that lets users earn instant rewards such as cash back points, coupons and jackpots, an alternative to entering phone number).
