Why partner
Why Heydao
At the moment of decision
We work to show your venue and offers when people create a gathering and choose where to meet.
Nearby people with a plan
We work to put your venue in front of people nearby who are already planning to meet up.

People can pick your group-buy offer while creating a gathering and redeem it at your venue. We work to keep that path short.

FAQ
Questions from venues
How do I become a Heydao merchant?
Onboarding is by invitation. Email hello@heydao.app or send your venue details on this page. We contact you and send an invitation, and you complete onboarding and verification in the Heydao app.
What do I need to prepare?
A photo of your Canadian business licence; your venue’s official phone number; applicant details (name, position and relationship to the business); and, optionally, your provincial business registration number. We check your registration in the relevant provincial public registry (for example, OrgBook BC in British Columbia) and verify by calling the venue’s publicly listed official number.
How long does review take?
Our team reviews each application and will contact you once the review is complete, or sooner if we need more information.
How do I list a group-buy offer?
Once onboarded, create the offer in the merchant portal in the Heydao app with its details and conditions. It goes live after review, and people can choose it when they create a gathering at your venue.
How are promotions arranged and charged?
Promotional placements are arranged with our team by a written order signed outside the App, which sets the period, placement and fees; placements cannot be bought or paid for in the App. Any service fee for group-buy offers follows our written agreement with you. Email hello@heydao.app to discuss.
How do redemption and settlement work?
Customers show their redemption code, and you enter the six-digit code or scan it in the merchant portal. Heydao does not collect payment on your behalf; customers pay you at the venue. Records, statements and invoices are in the merchant portal; any fees are invoiced on the agreed cycle and settled by bank transfer.
Can I stop the partnership at any time?
Yes. Either party may end the partnership with 30 days’ written notice, including by email, unless otherwise agreed. During the notice period you cannot create new offers, and published offers remain valid and redeemable. After termination, we issue a final statement in the merchant portal.
