Verified badge

A trust badge for stores whose ownership we have confirmed—a foundation for Japanese-speaking customers to find you with confidence. The verified badge is added after our team has checked your store.

Up to 20 photos

Post up to 20 photos of your interior, menu, and atmosphere on your in-app store page. Show off your store with your own photos. The photos shown on your store's web page are posts by approved users (up to 6). Photos added by the owner are not shown on the web. Your store's web page also shows reviews and ratings from users (when posts exist) and, if you have set up a coupon, a "Coupon available" label (coupon details are shown only in the app). A coupon is redeemed when the customer shows it in the app and the store scans it to confirm.

Collect customer voices

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost?

Listing your store is free (no fixed or monthly fees). Owner registration, the verified badge, editing and up to 20 photos also come with no setup fee. The only charge is a performance fee (CA$2.00 per redemption, plus applicable taxes) when a coupon is actually used. We will always give you at least 30 days' notice before changing our fees.

How does ownership confirmation work?

Search for your store in the app, enter your coupon details and your contact information (email address and phone number), agree to the Merchant Terms, and then register a payment card to complete your membership. Your store's existing listing information is carried over, so there is no need to enter it again. If you have any questions, please contact us through the inquiry form. (The app is currently being prepared for release.)

How many photos can I post?

After owner registration, you can post up to 20 photos on your in-app store page. Please use photos you took or prepared yourself, not images from third-party sites. The photos shown on your store's web page are posts by approved users (up to 6). Photos added by the owner are not shown on the web. Your store's web page also shows reviews and ratings from users (when posts exist) and, if you have set up a coupon, a "Coupon available" label (coupon details are shown only in the app). A coupon is redeemed when the customer shows it in the app and the store scans it to confirm.

I never listed my store, but it has a page.

Lastmods introduces local stores based on a public database (OpenStreetMap) and user posts. Request corrections via the form, or register as the owner and edit it yourself. If you’d prefer not to be listed, contact us via the same form.

What are coupons? Do they cost anything?

It is a discount or service you offer yourself (for example, one free drink). The customer shows it in the app and you scan it to confirm the use. You fund the discount. You can change or stop it at any time. When a coupon is actually used, a performance fee (CA$2.00 per redemption, plus applicable taxes) applies.

What if a user post is problematic?

Every post and edit passes an AI check and leaves a history. For inaccurate or inappropriate posts, report them or contact us via the form, and we will review and respond. If you block a user, their posts are only hidden from your own screen; their reviews are not deleted.

How is the coupon settled?

There is no settlement of the discount itself — you fund it, and Lastmods never advances it. What you pay is the performance fee only: CA$2.00 per redemption, plus applicable taxes. Fees are aggregated per calendar month and charged to your registered card in the following month. There is no points feature.
