Vancouver's independent food and retail scene is dense, fiercely local, and expensive to operate in. Sopoints gives those businesses a loyalty system that competes with national chains — and gives customers one points balance that works across all of them.
Vancouver has one of the highest concentrations of independent cafes and single-location restaurants in Canada, and some of the highest commercial rents. That combination makes customer retention less of a nice-to-have and more of a survival requirement — winning back an existing customer costs a fraction of acquiring a new one.
Sopoints runs on the free plan with no hardware purchase, which matters when margins are already compressed by rent. A QR code at the till is enough to start.
Mount Pleasant and Main Street — independent cafes, bakeries and brunch spots
Gastown and Chinatown — restaurants, bars and design retail
Kitsilano and West 4th — fitness studios, health food and boutique retail
Commercial Drive — cafes, grocers and neighbourhood service businesses
Downtown and Yaletown — lunch trade and quick-service restaurants
Sopoints handles customer data under PIPEDA, the federal privacy framework that applies to commercial activity in British Columbia. Consent is captured explicitly at enrolment, and customers can request access or deletion of their data at any time.
Points are denominated at 1 LWP = $0.01 CAD, so a customer earning at a Vancouver cafe can spend that value at any participating merchant in the network without conversion.
Free plan, no credit card, live the same day — and your customers join a network that reaches across Canada.
