Add a deal

Deals are offers from businesses near the community, like a laundry discount or a free coffee. Residents see them in the app with the promo code, for as long as the deal runs.

A deal is shown, not tracked. Everyone in its audience sees it until the end date, even after they've used it, and the portal doesn't count uses. Avoid one-time offers like your first order; choose offers that work every time, or let the business check the conditions.
