Local grocery stores make Send Food real — families shop with a prepaid QR voucher. You redeem it. You get paid for the groceries.
Partner stores are where funded food becomes a real basket on a family’s table. Join the Send Food shop portal to apply, redeem vouchers, and see what is owed to your shop.
HOW IT WORKS IN YOUR SHOP
A verified family arrives with a QR voucher
Donors fund food through Send Food. The household receives a prepaid store code — shown as a QR — with a balance already reserved for groceries. Not cash. Not a box they didn’t choose.
You look up the voucher in the shop portal
Staff open the merchant portal on a phone, scan or enter the code, and see the household and the remaining balance before anything leaves the shelf.
They shop for what their family needs
The family walks your aisles and chooses real food — staples, fresh produce, whatever they need — up to the voucher value. They don’t pay at checkout.
You confirm the amount — Send Food owes your shop
Confirm the grocery amount in the portal. Every confirmed scan is recorded. Approved merchants are paid for groceries redeemed through valid Send Food vouchers.
WHY PARTNER WITH SEND FOOD
Customers who can already pay for food
The voucher balance is reserved before they shop. You’re serving a funded basket — not guessing who can settle the bill.
Dignity stays in your aisle
Families choose what they need from your shelves. You remain their local shop — not a distribution point for someone else’s box.
Simple tools, no POS project
Redeem with a smartphone and internet. Scan or type the code, confirm the amount, keep a clear record of every transaction.
Paid for what you provide
Send Food owes your shop for groceries redeemed through valid vouchers. Payouts are arranged after your payment details are confirmed.
