This guide will walk you through launching your custom loyalty token on Shakesco. Follow these steps to create and configure your token.

Step 1: Download the Shakesco App

If you haven’t already, download the Shakesco app:

Download Shakesco

Get the app for iOS or Android

Step 2: Create Your Accounts

Create a Personal Account

  1. Open the Shakesco app
  2. Sign up with your email and create a personal account
  3. Complete the onboarding process

Create a Business Account

  1. Hold down the profile button at the navigation bar
  2. When the pop-up appears, click “Create a business wallet”
  3. Follow the prompts to create your business account
You need both a personal account and a business account. The business account is where you’ll launch and manage your loyalty token.

Step 3: Navigate to Token Launch

  1. Switch to your business account (if not already)
  2. Go to the Transact tab in your business side navigation bar
  3. Click on Token
  4. Select Launch New Token

Step 4: Configure Basic Token Details

You’ll need to enter the following information:
Token Name
string
required
The name of your token - what it will be called Example: “Shakesco Rewards”
Token Symbol
string
required
The symbol/ticker for your token (3-5 characters) Example: “SKK”
Number of Tokens
number
required
The total supply of tokens that will be created. These tokens will be accessible through the API or in the built-in Shakesco marketplace. Example: 21,000,000
Token Price
number
required
The price of each token in USD Example: $10 (meaning 1 SKK = $10)
Click Next to proceed to discount configuration.

Step 5: Set Token Discount

Token Discount
percentage
required
The discount percentage customers receive when they pay at your business using your tokens. How it works: - If your token price is $10 and you set a token discount of 20%, customers get a $2 discount every time they use Shakesco Pay to pay at your business Example: 20% discount means customers save $2 per $10 token when spending at your business
Click Next to configure rewards.

Step 6: Configure Buy and Spend Rewards

Buy Limit and Buy Reward

Buy Limit
number
required
The amount (in USD) a customer must spend buying tokens to trigger a bonus reward. Example: $100
Buy Reward
number
required
The number of bonus tokens given when the buy limit is reached. How it works: - If you set buy limit to $100 and buy reward to 2 SKK, the customer will receive 2 bonus SKK tokens when they buy $100 worth of SKK tokens Example: 2 SKK
This reward is recurring - customers earn the bonus every time they reach the buy limit, not just once.

Spend Limit and Spend Reward

Spend Limit
number
required
The amount (in USD) a customer must spend at your business to trigger a bonus reward. Example: $100
Spend Reward
number
required
The number of bonus tokens given when the spend limit is reached. How it works: - If spend limit is $100 and spend reward is 1 SKK, when customers spend up to $100 at your business, they receive 1 bonus SKK token Example: 1 SKK
This reward is also recurring - customers earn the bonus every time they reach the spend limit.
