A step-by-step guide for creators working with Snagbite. It covers finding a local business, getting them to post a deal, making your purchase, and what to post.

What Snagbite

SnagBite is a marketplace that connects consumers with local businesses offering discounted food. Partner merchants list surplus inventory, end-of-day specials, and made-to-order items directly on the platform. Customers purchase through the app and pickup their orders in person.

The ask

What we're asking you to do

Your mission is simple: experience Snagbite firsthand, pick up a deal, and share your authentic experience with your audience through a Reel and Story. (Please refer to your campaign agreement for specific retention requirements regarding how long your post must remain live.)

Because Snagbite is a brand-new platform, there may not be active listings in your neighborhood quite yet. For our initial launch, you will play a foundational role by introducing one of your favorite local spots to the app so they can list a deal for you to claim.

(As the platform grows and listings become readily available, this step will be phased out, and future creators will simply pick an existing deal directly from the feed.)

Step-by-Step Campaign Flow

Spot a Local FavoriteChoose an independent eatery, bakery, cafe, or neighborhood shop you love that sells food or daily essentials.
Introduce Them to SnagbiteShare the app with the owner or manager. They can complete their quick merchant registration and direct payout setup. If they have any questions, go to snagbite.com/faq.
They List a DealThe business publishes a discounted item or bundle of their choice on the app.
Buy & Pick UpPurchase the listing through Snagbite with your own payment method, pick it up at the store, and enjoy your grab!
Create & Share Your ContentPost your Reel and Story highlighting how easy and satisfying it is to score great deals through Snagbite.
- Disclosure: Include required commercial disclosures or the official paid partnership tag.

Step 1

Find a business

Any local place that sells food or everyday items works. Independent, owner-run businesses are the best fit because you can talk to the person who makes the decision.

Step 2

Introduce them to Snagbite

Keep the introduction short and honest. Here are the points that tend to matter to owners:

A real sale. You'll buy from them at their listed price.
No upfront cost. Snagbite takes a commission only on completed sales.
Pickup only. No delivery drivers. You come to the counter.
No long-term commitment. After eligible payouts are completed, the business may close its Snagbite account, subject to Snagbite's Terms and any record-keeping requirements.

Sample introduction
"Hi, I'm [your name]. I'm creating sponsored content with a new app called Snagbite. Local shops use it to sell extra food at a discount for pickup. Would you be willing to sign up and post one item at a discount? I'll buy it through the app. Setup takes about 20 minutes on your phone, and snagbite.com/faq answers most questions."

You may introduce Snagbite to a business, but you are not Snagbite's sales agent. You aren't authorized to negotiate commission rates, payout terms, refunds, contracts, tax treatment, or any other terms on Snagbite's behalf. Send the owner to snagbite.com/faq or the Snagbite team for business questions.

Step 3

The store publishes a discounted listing

Before you buy, ask the store to publish a listing. Snagbite doesn't tell stores how much to discount. The store sets the price it would really use to sell that item at a discount, and that's the price you pay in the app.

Keep it small. A total of $10–15 is completely fine. Ask the store to let you know when the listing is live.

Step 4

Make your purchase and pick it up

Download Snagbite and create a buyer account. Use a different account from the business's.
Find the store's deal, add it to your cart, and place the order.
Pay through Snagbite using your own payment method. Any compensation Snagbite pays you for your creator services is separate from this purchase.
When it's ready, a 4-digit pickup code appears in the app. Go to the store, give staff the code, and collect your order.
Take it home and enjoy it.

Step 5

Create and post your content

Tell it your way. Your audience follows you for your voice, so keep it natural. The story is about using Snagbite, not about the store. Don't name the business or show anything that identifies it.

Posting your content

Share your real experience in your own style. If Snagbite is compensating you for the content, include a clear sponsorship disclosure such as #ad, Sponsored by Snagbite, or Paid partnership with Snagbite. For video or Stories, make sure the disclosure is visible in the content itself.

Use the platform's paid-partnership label when available.

Formats: at least one Reel and one Story, or as set out in your campaign agreement.
Tag Snagbite and tell followers to download the app and see what's near them.

Review

Content review

First campaign: send your Reel and Story to your Snagbite contact for approval before you post.
Snagbite may review sponsored content for compliance with advertising rules, accuracy, privacy, and these guidelines.
If a disclosure is missing or content includes an inaccurate claim, we may ask you to correct or update it.

That's it

After you post

Once you've picked up, enjoyed your order, and posted, your part is done. Send your Snagbite contact the links to your Reel and Story.

For your reference, here's what happens on the store's side:

Typical first payouts take approximately 2–3 weeks. Timing varies with payout eligibility, verification status, and banking schedules. The store's expected payout schedule is shown in its account and explained in the FAQ. The store needs to keep its account until it's paid.
Any listings they still have are up to them. They can remove them or keep them up.
After eligible payouts are completed, they can keep their account and use Snagbite for real surplus sales, or close it, subject to Snagbite's Terms and any record-keeping requirements.
Anything the store sells later has nothing to do with you. It doesn't affect you or benefit you in any way.
