A Semy is what happens when social media (think Instagram™ and TikTok™) meets eCommerce.
For every gift you send, you can send it off with a video or custom artwork. Can’t make the bachelorette party? Make sure the bride gets a bottle of her favorite bubbly sent to her table, and a video of you sending your regards. She then can send you a video reply, so everyone can feel all the love. And you’ll be able to see this same activity from your friends, via your feed.
If your friend chooses an item from the menu or place of business outside of what you sent, no worries! They can still redeem the amount of your Semy that you sent from their final bill.
If your friend has opted to receive mobile notifications, she’ll be notified that way. If not, she’ll be notified within the app that she has a gift ready for redemption.
They can walk into the place of business and show them their QR code within the app. The merchant will take it from there.
If you don’t see your favorite spot listed, feel free to submit it as a referral. We’ll reach out directly. Once the local business becomes a Semy Merchant, we’ll pay you the referral fee!
Similar to Venmo, we allow you to protect your operations on the app. You can make your transactions public or private—it’s your call. Please also see our privacy policy.
Semy adds a small percentage fee to each purchase in the app, which includes your credit card transaction fees and all of the support to maintain Semy. This fee is shown on your checkout screen before you complete a purchase.
Semy is available to iPhone and Android users via Google Play and the App Store. Merchants and sponsors can also access their business metrics through a desktop version of the application.
We accept transactions through credit and debit cards.
