We’re partnering with other local organizations to launch a digital Grimsby Gift Card for local merchants, to make it easier for consumers to support Grimsby businesses. All Grimsby businesses are encouraged to participate, you do not have to be a Chamber member! The program will capped at 300 merchants to start with, so sign up today!

The gift cards will be available for customers to purchase online and redeem at any participating merchant; everything is digital through Square, so there is no paper or physical cards to handle. Participating merchants will be listed on the website.

There are no upfront costs or ongoing fees, and no fees to merchants unless a gift card is redeemed at their location. Square does charge a 2.9% processing fee and $0.30 base transaction fee, but that's it!

Our goal is simple: to help as many local businesses as possible as we close out an incredibly difficult 2020 and start an uncertain 2021. The program is designed to be simple and hassle-free for merchants to deploy and seamless for customers to use. The program has tremendous potential, and we want to get it going before the holiday season, and get customers thinking LOCAL.

To participate as a merchant, email merchants@buygrimsby.ca or go to https://buygrimsby.square.site/merchant.

Please contact us if you have any questions or would like more details!
