Checkout.
Members-only commerce.
Turn a relationship into revenue — without discounting, without leaking margin.
Turn today's transactions into future revenue.
One click turns a customer into a member — and only members can buy. Members purchase products or book experiences that non-members cannot access.
Two ways to Checkout: in person, through a redeemable IRL Offer at your venues, stores or events — or inside the member's profile through Embedded Cart, shipped straight to their door.
Members redeem a unique offer in person — at venues, stores, stadiums or events — anywhere your brand offers experiences in real life. No POS integration required.
A cart embedded inside the member's profile, shipped straight to their door. Members-only — from capped drops to global releases. The right choice when convenience and access create value.
Every campaign
is built from four steps.
Change one, you've changed the campaign. These are the building blocks — every play in this playbook is just a coordinate on this grid.
Open to all members, or exclusive to a segment — top customers, event attendees, recent purchasers, interest-tag holders. The more exclusive the audience, the higher the perceived value of being included.
Limited edition to global release. The cap usually defines itself — your job is to make the cap visible. Scarcity you don't communicate is scarcity wasted.
Daily, weekly, seasonal, or one-off. Every brand has natural rhythm — Checkout plugs into it. Member offers that go live 24, 48 or 72 hours before public access is where the relationship offers exclusivity and value. The member feels the difference.
Choose between an IRL Offer or an Embedded Cart. An IRL Offer is redeemed in person — at a venue, event, store, or booking. An Embedded Cart sits inside the member's profile and ships straight to their door.
A Deep Dive into Checkout.
Types of campaigns.
In-person redemption.
Fastest path. No POS integration required. Drives members to venues, events, locations, bookings, and reservations.
The Restock Notification.
When a sold-out item — the season's sneaker, a sell-out lipstick, a returning menu special — comes back, members get the notification first. Repeat buyers get it 24 hours earlier than the rest. Tiny effort. Fully repeatable.
The Paired Set.
Two products bundled for members only — a tasting menu plus the wine, a sneaker plus the matching cap, a serum plus the cleanser. Never sold separately, anywhere. Lifts average order value without discounting.
Supplier-Funded Month.
A supplier or sponsor covers an upgrade for members all month — a complimentary side, a sample sized add-on, an aftershow drink. The supplier reaches your audience. Members feel rewarded. You discount nothing.
Embedded e-commerce.
For shipping product straight to the customer's door and ticketing events. Seamless cart integration inside the member's profile, so they buy without ever leaving.
The Limited Drop.
Capped inventory, fixed window, members only. Fifty pairs of a collab sneaker — or fifty bottles of a limited fragrance — sell out before the public sees them. Rewards the people who care most.
The Pre-Order Draw.
Members who buy the new release through their profile are entered to win an experience — courtside seats, a backstage pass, a private session. Every purchase logs the entry. One window. One SKU. One prize.
Members-Only Worldwide Drop.
A global launch sold exclusively through the embedded cart in the member profile. One click makes anyone a member — and they can buy. Ships worldwide. Brand keeps every margin point.
A streetwear brand releases a 50-unit collab to members 48 hours before the public — and turns the sold-out moment into the marketing for the next campaign.

90-day lifetime contribution
Total revenue attributed to each member over a rolling 90-day window. The single most important number once you've run more than two Checkout campaigns. It compounds.
The first 90 days.

Launch your first IRL Offer. Members see it on socials and opt in. Regulars receive a unique offer to redeem in venue, in store, or at the event. First member profiles created.
Run your first Members' Booking — early access to a release, a reservation, a ticket — opened 48 hours before the public. The first time membership feels tangible.
First Limited Drop — a capped product or release. Email it, post it, push to member wallets. The sold-out moment becomes the marketing for the next campaign.
Review who bought. Who didn't. What the drop-off tells you. Segmentation feeds the next campaigns — tighter offers, smarter audiences.
Partner with a supplier or sponsor. Their cost. Your audience. Members rewarded — zero margin given away.
Engagement unlocks the right to buy the merch piece, the seat, the ballot entry. You now have the data to segment properly — and earned access means something.
Lower Acquisition Spend. Better ROI.
Every click on Google or Meta buys a visitor — no consent, no data, no relationship. Every active member on SWiiFT is a verified, consenting customer whose profile compounds in value.
