Boon Value & Earn Rate← Back to Staff Portal

What a Boon is worth

100 Boons = $1.00 (one Boon = one cent) — the same at every business in the network, set by Boonora. This is fixed and can't be changed per business: it keeps every member's balance worth the same wherever they spend, which is what makes the network trustworthy.

100 Boons = $1.00 · network-wide

To reward members more, raise your earn rate below (how many Boons you give on a sale), or run a special — never by changing what a Boon itself is worth.

What do you give on a sale?

This is the other half. Above is what Boons are worth when someone spends them here; this is what a customer earns when they buy. Until it is set, members earn nothing at your business.

 % back in Boons

A starting point, not a rule: café and retail typically 2–5%, services 5–10%. You fund your own rate, and a richer one pulls more of the network through your door. Set 0% to accept Boons without giving any. Maximum 20% — a guard against a typo, not a policy.

Premium member discount

What a Boonora Premium member saves when they pay for a service through the terminal. It applies automatically when their card shows Premium — nothing to type at the counter.

Set network-wide, not per business. This rate is advertised on boonora.com ("20% off at participating businesses"), so every Boonora business honors the same number — a customer must never find the promise smaller at one counter than another. What you control: your earn rate, your member discount, and your specials.

This is not your only discount. Members who reach Boonora+ (5,000 Boons earned) get your member discount — set separately in Business Settings, 5% by default — without paying for Premium. A member who qualifies for both is always given the better rate.
