Claim Merchants Social Rewards Skill

Overview

Claim is a social commerce and rewards operating system (acquired by Grubhub's parent company, Wonder) that enables local and online merchants (especially restaurants and retailers) to run risk-free, pay-per-acquisition marketing drops. This skill enables GenPark AI agents to construct, manage, and analyze Claim campaigns, matching high-intent customers with products/venues using transactional card-linked mechanics.

Core Capabilities

1. Pay-Per-Acquisition Drops (New Customers)

Weekly Custom Drops: Launch targeted cashback campaigns that "drop" in customer wallets every Thursday.
Zero Upfront Costs: Merchants pay purely on performance. A fee is only collected when an offer is successfully claimed and a transaction is completed.
Social Amplification: Users can trade or gift rewards with their friends in the app, naturally extending brand reach via viral word-of-mouth discovery.

2. Card-Linked POS Redemption (Frictionless Operations)

Zero Operational Friction: No coupons, promo codes, staff training, or custom QR-code POS integrations required. Purchases are auto-verified in the background.
Plaid Financial Integrations: Leverages Plaid to securely monitor transaction streams for linked credit/debit card activity at merchant locations.

3. Customer Retention & Repeat Visits

Regulars Nudging: Automatically trigger follow-up retention rewards when a first-time customer completes a dining/shopping "Claim" offer to convert them into standard regulars.
Cohort Segmentation: Identify and segment first-time diners/shoppers from repeat regulars to adjust incentive scaling.

4. Performance & Competitor Benchmarking

First-Party Insights: Track detailed customer demographics, purchase baskets, lifetime value (LTV), and frequency.
Competitor Indexing: Gain real-time, aggregated data on how your establishment ranks against similar local competitors in market share and repeat loyalty.

Agent Usage & Best Practices

AI agents should model Claim campaigns using these strategic guidelines:

Risk-Free Budget Management: When launching local drops, set a strict max_budget. Since fees are pay-per-acquisition, the maximum financial liability is bounded by this budget.
Attribution Signature Verification: Always verify webhook signatures on transaction events to ensure payouts are only triggered by legitimate card-linked hits from the Claim system.
Cross-Channel Retention: When an acquisition drop shows high conversions, the agent should automatically spawn a secondary RETENTION_CAMPAIGN targeting those same customers to secure double visits within 14 days.
