Public listing homepage.
Turn the programs you approve into a searchable public directory for discovery campaigns and business networks.
Public listing turns the programs you approve into a searchable directory. Visitors can look for a business or offer, filter by program type, and sort the entire published catalogue.
Use it when discovery is part of what you sell. It can be the public face of a shopping district, mall, association, tourism campaign, local marketplace, or marketing program that brings several businesses together.
Smart wallet presents a smaller collection as a card-led experience. Showcase gives one brand an editorial landing page. Public listing serves visitors who arrive wanting to search.
Best use cases
- A marketer running a multi-business campaign: Make participating offers discoverable from one campaign destination.
- A shopping district or mall: Let visitors find programs by business name and offer type.
- A business association: Turn member benefits into a public reason to explore the network.
- A tourism or destination operator: Present current rewards and passes from participating venues.
- A local marketplace: Give approved businesses a place to publish their programs without sharing dashboard data.
- A large single brand: Help visitors search many locations, campaigns, or program types when a curated landing page is no longer enough.
The useful threshold is visitor intent, not a fixed number of businesses. If visitors browse a short collection for inspiration, Smart wallet may be clearer. If they search for a specific name, location, or program type, Public listing earns its place.
What visitors see
- A unified grid of published loyalty cards, stamp cards, vouchers, and prepaid passes
- Search with autocomplete across program and business names
- Type filters for Loyalty, Stamps, Vouchers, and Passes
- Three catalogue-wide sorts:
- Newest: Programs with the latest creation date first
- Ending soon: Programs with the nearest end date first; programs without an end date follow
- Name: Programs in alphabetical order
- Pagination that loads more results as the visitor continues
- Clear empty and no-results states
Search, filters, and sorting run on the server across the full published catalogue.
Public does not mean automatic
Public listing uses the same homepage visibility controls as Smart wallet and Showcase:
- The partner's plan or admin override permits homepage publishing.
- The partner marks an individual program Visible on homepage.
- The partner and its network remain active.
A program that cannot appear in Smart wallet cannot appear in Public listing either. Changing the layout adds search and directory presentation; it does not weaken partner isolation or bypass publication approval.
When Public listing is active, a partner who self-registers receives homepage-publishing eligibility. That partner can then choose which individual programs to publish.
- Existing partners are not changed when you switch layouts.
- An administrator can grant or revoke eligibility under Partner permissions.
- Switching away from Public listing does not rewrite partner or program settings.
Public listing or Smart wallet?
Both show the approved program set, but they serve different visits.
| Public listing | Smart wallet | |
|---|---|---|
| Visitor's goal | Find a business, offer, or program | Understand and browse a curated wallet |
| Presentation | Dense unified directory | Card journey and grouped shelves |
| Controls | Search, filters, sort, pagination | Browsing by program section |
| Strongest fit | Public campaign or network | Single business or selected network |
| Content strategy | Broad enough to search | Curated and presented |
Neither mode auto-lists every business. Public listing is broader because you choose to publish more, not because the app ignores the permission stack.
Why curation still matters
A directory with a few weak entries can make a new network look unfinished. Automatic publication can also place brands together that never agreed to the association. Public listing avoids both problems:
| Automatic directory | Public listing |
|---|---|
| Every business appears on signup | Eligible partners choose programs to publish |
| The launch list exposes the cold start | You can prepare the catalogue before promoting it |
| Brand associations are uncontrolled | You decide which partners may participate |
| Search is forced over whatever exists | Search works over the catalogue you built |
The shared wallet keeps partner dashboards and data isolated. The directory reveals the public program information you chose to expose.
Configure Public listing
Open Settings → Homepage, select Public listing, and save. The Homepage layouts guide owns the dashboard and .env settings.
Before launch:
- Decide which partners belong in the directory.
- Grant homepage-publishing permission where needed.
- Ask each partner to review the programs marked Visible on homepage.
- Test search using both program and business names.
- Check the empty, no-results, and mobile states.
