1. IDENTITY & POSITIONING

Company

TokenTraxx Music Ltd — the company behind TTConnect. Founded ~2020, originally as a music NFT marketplace, evolved into enterprise-grade membership and loyalty infrastructure. UK-based. Team of 9: 3 co-founders (Tim Gentry — CEO, Tommy — co-founder, Jitin — CTO), 3 developers, 1 designer, 2 ops/marketing.

EdgeState — an operator-led advisory firm (co-founded by Tim, Tommy, Steve Edwards) focused on the creative economy and frontier technology. Provides strategic advisory layer alongside TTConnect implementations.

Product Name

TTConnect (formerly TRAXX Connect). Always use “TTConnect” in customer-facing contexts. Simpler, cleaner.

One-Liner

Membership infrastructure that turns customers into your growth engine.

Elevator Pitch (30 seconds)

TTConnect is a membership and loyalty platform for brands who’ve been meaning to launch a programme but hit a wall — enterprise solutions are too expensive, eCommerce tools are too limited, building it yourself never ships. We get you live in weeks, generate recurring revenue from memberships, and turn your best customers into your marketing. Free to start, scales with you.

Positioning Statement

TTConnect sits in genuine white space: enterprise features at mid-market prices, horizontal across verticals, with on-chain infrastructure that’s invisible to end users.

How to Frame TTConnect

Based on what drives the highest engagement in sales conversations:

  1. Frame as infrastructure, not a product — “This enables your business model” not “buy this tool”
  2. Lead with revenue unlock — New revenue streams, faster payouts, commercial upside > technical capability
  3. Speak in the prospect’s use cases — Anchor in their world, avoid generic blockchain framing
  4. Use technical depth selectively — Only after commercial interest is triggered
  5. Position as a bridge — TTConnect connects music, Web3, and enterprise ecosystems

What NOT to Say

  • Do NOT lead with “blockchain,” “Web3,” “crypto,” or “NFT” in customer-facing copy
  • Do NOT use acronyms (CAC, LTV, MRR) with prospects
  • Do NOT lead with technical capability — lead with business outcomes
  • Say “modern infrastructure” or “future-proofed technology” instead of “blockchain-powered”
  • Say “digital membership passes” instead of “NFTs”
  • Say “rewards your customers can own and trade” instead of “ERC-20 tokens”

2. WHAT TTCONNECT IS

Plain English Definition

TTConnect is a white-label SaaS platform that lets any brand launch a fully branded membership and loyalty programme — with a storefront, tiered memberships, products, quests, coupons, referrals, and analytics — in weeks, not months. It supports both card and crypto payments. Under the hood, it uses blockchain infrastructure for true digital ownership, but customers never need to know that.

Core Architecture

  • Multi-tenant SaaS — One platform, unlimited brands, complete data isolation
  • White-label — Each brand gets their own storefront with custom branding, subdomain, and optional custom domain
  • API-first — Full REST API for headless integrations
  • Blockchain-powered — EVM-compatible (Ethereum, Polygon, BSC), ERC-1155 NFT memberships, ERC-20 loyalty tokens — but invisible to end users
  • Dual payment — Card (Stripe) and crypto wallet payments

The Two Interfaces

Platform (Admin Back-Office) Where brands manage everything:

  • Dashboard — overview of store activity and key numbers
  • Analytics — charts and metrics on traffic, sales, engagement
  • Members — community management, membership status, profiles
  • Products & Memberships — configure what you sell, tiers, pricing
  • Coupons — create and manage discount/benefit codes
  • Loyalty / Quests — configure engagement tasks and rewards
  • Customize — theme, layout, branding controls
  • Settings — store preferences, brand details
  • Usage — plan allowance tracking

Storefront (Customer-Facing) What end customers see:

  • Store home — branded landing page
  • Membership tiers — browse and join tiers (free, standard, premium etc.)
  • Products — catalog of physical and digital products
  • Quests — engagement tasks to complete for rewards
  • User area — personal dashboard with membership status, referral links
  • Checkout — card or crypto payment flow

Key Concepts

  • Brand = Your organisation/account (settings, team)
  • Store = Your public shop (each brand can have multiple stores)
  • Membership Tiers = Configurable levels (e.g. free, standard, premium) with different benefits
  • Quests = Short tasks or activities that unlock rewards
  • Coupons = Discount or benefit codes
  • Referrals = Member sharing links with reward tracking

4. HOW IT WORKS — FOR BRANDS

Getting Started (The “2-4 Weeks to Live” Promise)

Week 1: Setup

  1. Sign up at app.ttconnect.xyz — free tier, no credit card required
  2. Configure brand identity (logo, colours, fonts, descriptions)
  3. Set up store subdomain (or custom domain)

Week 2: Design Your Programme 4. Design membership tiers (names, pricing, benefits) 5. Create products (physical, digital, merch, tickets) 6. Set up quests (engagement activities) 7. Configure loyalty rules and earning mechanics 8. Create coupons if needed

What Brands Need to Provide

  • Brand assets (logo, colours, fonts)
  • Membership tier strategy (what tiers, what benefits, what pricing)
  • Product catalog (descriptions, images, prices)
  • Content (hero text, about text, any marketing copy)
  • Decision on payment methods (card only, crypto, or both)

What Brands Do NOT Need

  • A development team
  • Blockchain knowledge
  • Wallet setup
  • Integration projects
  • Enterprise procurement cycles

5. HOW IT WORKS — FOR END CUSTOMERS

The end customer experience is deliberately simple and familiar:

  1. Visit the branded storefront (looks like any modern membership site)
  2. Browse membership tiers, see what each includes
  3. Sign up with email — no wallets, no crypto knowledge needed
  4. Pay by card (or crypto if they choose — optional)
  5. Access their member dashboard — see tier, benefits, points, referral link
  6. Engage — complete quests, earn rewards, refer friends
  7. Redeem — use points for rewards, access tier-gated benefits

The blockchain powers everything under the hood but is invisible unless the customer actively wants to access on-chain features (trading, portability, ownership verification). This is the “Web2.5” approach:

  • Default mode: On-chain infrastructure, completely invisible to users
  • Optional mode: Users can self-select into Web3 features if they want them

6. THE BUSINESS CASE

The Core Argument (Plain Language)

Membership means you spend less finding new customers — because your members do your marketing for you — and make more from the customers you have — because members visit more often, spend more, and stick around longer.

The Numbers

MetricDataSource
Members visit 20% more oftenYesNational Restaurant Association
Members spend 20% more per visitYesBond Brand Loyalty
12-18% more annual revenue from membersYesMcKinsey
90% of programmes report positive ROIYesAntavo
Average programme ROI: 4.8xYesAntavo
81% of consumers would join if offeredYesBond
5-25x more expensive to acquire than retainYesHarvard Business Review
Customer acquisition cost risen 222% in last decadeYesSimplicity DX

The Two-Column Business Case

Spend Less Finding Customers: Members become your marketing. Referrals, reviews, social posts — rewarded behaviours that bring new customers without ad spend.

Make More From Every Customer: Members visit 20% more often, spend 20% more per visit, and stay longer. Predictable revenue from people who already love you.

The “Why Now” Argument

The cost of finding new customers has risen 222% in the last decade. The brands winning are the ones who’ve figured out how to keep them. 81% of consumers would join a loyalty programme if offered. The demand exists — the only barrier is execution.

The “Membership as Revenue” Model

This is a KEY differentiator. Most loyalty programmes are cost centres (points = liability). TTConnect enables paid membership tiers like Costco and Amazon Prime:

  • Costco: $60-120/year membership IS the business model
  • Amazon Prime: $139/year, members spend 2x non-members
  • Starbucks Rewards: 53% of US revenue comes from members

TTConnect turns loyalty from a cost centre into a revenue line.

ROI Math (For Prospects)

A brand with 5,000 customers:

  • 10% convert to paid membership at $5/month = 500 x $60/year = $30,000 annual recurring revenue
  • Members visit 20% more, spend 20% more = additional uplift on top
  • Referrals bring new customers at zero acquisition cost
  • Platform cost: $299/month = $3,588/year
  • ROI: 8-10x in year one on subscription revenue alone

7. PRICING

Current Pricing Tiers

Free$0/monthUp to 100Testing, validation, getting started
Professional$299/monthUp to 1,000Growing brands, mid-market
Enterprise$1,000/monthUnlimitedLarge brands, multi-store, advanced needs

Key Pricing Messages

  • Free to start — no credit card, no time limit, full functionality up to 100 members
  • No volume-based pricing surprises — flat monthly fee, not per-transaction
  • Break-even math: If your membership generates even $300/month in member revenue, the platform pays for itself at Professional tier
  • Enterprise negotiable — founder/grandfather pricing available for early adopters

8. VERTICAL PLAYBOOKS

Hospitality

Pain Point: Most restaurant and hotel groups are either paying six figures a year for enterprise loyalty platforms that took months to implement, or they’re stuck with a basic points system bolted onto their till.

Pitch: TTConnect gives you the same membership power at a fraction of the cost, live in weeks. The result: paid membership clubs that drive 20%+ more visits and higher spend per transaction, with rewards that work across your entire group — no integration project required.

Key Stats:

  • Members visit 20% more often (National Restaurant Association)
  • Members spend 20% more per visit (Bond)
  • 81% of consumers would join if offered

Use Cases:

  • Multi-venue membership clubs (one programme across all locations)
  • VIP/regulars programmes with tiered benefits
  • Paid membership (Soho House model at accessible scale)
  • Partner rewards across F&B, entertainment, retail tenants
  • Referral programmes for guest acquisition

Competitors in This Space:

  • Lightspeed Loyalty (POS lock-in, basic features)
  • Square Loyalty (very basic, per-location pricing)
  • Blackbird (restaurant-only, US-only, consumer app model — brand doesn’t own relationship)

Win Message: “Not locked to your POS. Not paying enterprise prices. Membership that makes money, not just points that cost you.”


Sport & Entertainment

Pain Point: Fans already behave like members — they stream, share, attend, and advocate — but none of that engagement is captured or rewarded. Traditional loyalty tools are built for purchase transactions, not passion-driven communities.

Pitch: TTConnect lets you build membership tiers that reward what fans actually do: social engagement, event attendance, streaming, referrals. You own the relationship on your own branded platform, turning passive supporters into a measurable, active membership base.

Use Cases:

  • Fan membership tiers (free / supporter / VIP)
  • Behaviour-based rewards (social shares, match attendance, streaming)
  • Exclusive content and early access gating
  • Matchday and event engagement programmes
  • Cross-sport/cross-venue coalition loyalty

Win Message: “Own the fan relationship. Reward what fans actually do, not just what they buy.”


Agencies & Consultancies

Pain Point: Agencies help clients build loyalty and membership strategies and may have channel partnerships with enterprise platforms. But not every client has a $200K budget or a 12-month runway.

Pitch: TTConnect gives you a second option in the toolkit: a platform your mid-market clients can actually say yes to, starting at $350/month, live in weeks. You still lead the strategy, still wrap services around it — just with a faster, more accessible route to implementation that opens up a bigger addressable client base.

Use Cases:

  • White-label implementation for agency clients
  • Extend strategy engagements into delivery
  • Add measurable capability without building technology
  • Multiplier effect: one partnership = many client implementations
  • Thought leadership positioning (on-chain loyalty expertise)

Partnership Model:

  • Agency brings strategy, client relationships, advisory layer
  • TTConnect provides infrastructure
  • Agency wraps services (strategy, design, implementation support)
  • Potential referral/commission structures

Win Message: “We’re not trying to be your competitor. We’re the infrastructure that makes your membership engagements deliverable.”


Creative & Creators (Musicians, Influencers, Artists, DTC Brands)

Pain Point: You built the audience, but Patreon, Substack, or your social platform controls the relationship — and they can change the rules overnight. Algorithm shifts, delistings, and 10-30% platform fees mean you’re renting access to your own community.

Pitch: TTConnect lets you launch your own branded membership platform to sell tiers, merch, tickets, and exclusive content directly to your fans. You set the rules, you own the data, and because it’s decentralised by design, no platform can turn you off.

The Decentralisation Argument (for this vertical):

  • Facebook algorithm changes cratered news publishers ~15 years ago
  • YouTube’s adpocalypse wiped out creator revenues overnight
  • X recently delisted crypto content — creators woke up invisible
  • Bandcamp changed ownership twice in 18 months
  • These platforms are centralised — one company controls the rules

TTConnect is decentralised by design. No single entity can change the rules, delist you, or take a 30% cut.

Use Cases:

  • Tiered fan memberships (free / supporter / superfan)
  • Direct merch and ticket sales (no intermediary fees)
  • Exclusive content and early access
  • Brand ambassador value enhancement (offer members exclusive partner deals)
  • Community governance (members vote on decisions)

Creator Success Examples:

  • Ben Thompson (Stratechery): $3.2M/year from 26,000 paid subscribers
  • Eric Church: $1.4M/year from 40,000 fan club members at $35/year
  • Matt Brown (Extra Points): saved $20K in platform fees, built $200K/year business

Win Message: “Own your audience relationship, don’t rent it. Build on land you control.”


Retail & Fashion

Pain Point: Locked into Shopify loyalty plugins or expensive enterprise platforms. Volume-based pricing creates unpredictable costs at scale.

Pitch: TTConnect works across channels — online, in-store, events — without platform lock-in. Flat monthly pricing, no surprises. Paid membership tiers turn loyalty from a cost centre into a revenue line.

Win Message: “Not locked to Shopify. Membership that makes money, not just points that cost you.”


Web3 Communities

Pain Point: Already understand blockchain but need professional membership infrastructure without building from scratch.

Pitch: TTConnect is blockchain-native but enterprise-grade. On-chain memberships, token rewards, wallet and card payments, white-label storefronts — out of the box.


9. COMPETITIVE POSITIONING

Competitive Landscape — Three Tiers

Tier 1: Enterprise Giants (Salesforce, Oracle, SAP, Braze)

  • $20K-$45K/month, 6-12 month implementation
  • Our angle: “Same power, fraction of the cost, live in weeks”

Tier 2: Mid-Market SaaS (Smile.io, Yotpo, Lightspeed, Square Loyalty)

  • $49-$999/month, fast setup, but platform-locked
  • Our angle: “Not locked to Shopify. Membership that makes money, not just points.”

Tier 3: Web3 Native (Blackbird, Hang, Co:Create)

  • Token innovation, but wallet friction, vertical limits, enterprise-only
  • Our angle: “On-chain benefits, no crypto complexity. Email sign-in, no wallets.”

Where TTConnect Wins

  • Hospitality brands not on Lightspeed/Square wanting more than basic points
  • Entertainment/sport wanting fan membership (not just ticketing loyalty)
  • Multi-vertical brands needing one platform across retail + hospitality + events
  • Anyone quoted $20K/month by Salesforce who walked away
  • Brands wanting paid membership tiers (Costco model), not just points-as-cost
  • Anyone burned by Web3 complexity but still wanting the benefits
  • Agencies wanting a deliverable platform for mid-market clients

Where TTConnect Might Lose (Be Honest)

  • Shopify-native eCommerce (Smile.io has lower friction)
  • Enterprise with Salesforce/Oracle already deployed
  • Restaurants in NYC already on Blackbird
  • Brands needing deep CRM integration on day one

7 Key Differentiators

  1. Network effect — All brands on TTConnect can interconnect loyalty (no integration complexity)
  2. Membership as revenue — Paid tiers like Costco/Prime, not just points-as-cost
  3. Behaviour-based rewards — Referrals, social posts, reviews, not just purchases
  4. Horizontal platform — Works across hospitality, retail, entertainment, events
  5. Simple UX — Email sign-in, no wallets, no crypto jargon
  6. Speed — Live in 2-4 weeks, not 6-12 months
  7. Price — Free to $1,000/month, not $20K+/month

10. ON-CHAIN INFRASTRUCTURE — THE DEEPER STORY

This section is for sophisticated buyers (consultancies, enterprise, Web3-aware prospects). Use ONLY when technical depth supports a business story.

Five Structural Advantages

1. Native Interoperability — Coalition Without Integration Coalition loyalty has been attempted since Air Miles in 1988 and always fails because interoperability is an integration project. On-chain: memberships and rewards on shared infrastructure make interoperability a configuration setting, not a construction project. Brand A’s members can earn/redeem at Brand B — no technical integration required.

2. Balance Sheet Transformation — Liabilities to Assets Traditional points = liabilities on the balance sheet (IFRS 15 complexity). Tokenised loyalty: brand issues fixed token supply, distributes to customers — no liability created. Maximum programme size defined by token supply. Strategic buybacks possible.

3. True Ownership Traditional: points belong to the programme, not the customer. They expire, can’t transfer. On-chain: rewards owned by the customer. They can trade, transfer, accumulate without expiry, port across brands. Members who own their rewards show meaningfully higher retention.

4. Programmable Rewards — Beyond Purchases Smart contracts enable reward triggers for any verifiable behaviour: social sharing, content engagement, event attendance, advocacy, governance participation. Traditional platforms require custom dev for each new behaviour — on-chain makes it native.

5. Invisible Complexity — Web3 Power, Web2 Experience Starbucks Odyssey failed because the technology was visible when it should have been invisible. Modern on-chain infrastructure separates architecture from experience. Email sign-in, branded dashboards, familiar UX. Blockchain only surfaces when it adds value.

Addressing Sophisticated Objections

“This sounds like a solution looking for a problem.”

Traditional platforms work but don’t scale for what’s coming. Coalition partnerships = 18-month integration project. Growing points liability = “that’s just how loyalty works.” Rewarding social advocacy = custom development. On-chain changes all three answers to “yes, now.”

“Starbucks tried this. It failed.”

Starbucks tried visible Web3 with vague value propositions and speculation-driven mechanics. They led with NFTs instead of utility. The failure was product design, not blockchain. The infrastructure has matured. Modern implementations are invisible to end users.

“Our clients’ customers don’t want crypto.”

Correct. That’s why modern on-chain loyalty doesn’t require them to interact with crypto. Email sign-in, branded dashboards, points that look like points. For the 5-10% who do want on-chain access, it’s available. For everyone else, invisible.

“The regulatory environment is uncertain.”

Utility tokens with clear redemption rights and no investment expectations are well-understood. The key is design: tokens that unlock benefits, not speculation.


11. OBJECTION HANDLING

ObjectionResponse
”We’re already on Shopify/Smile.io""Works great for eCommerce. If you’re hospitality, events, or multi-channel, you’ll hit limits. We’re built for that."
"Salesforce quoted us — we’re in their ecosystem""What was the timeline and cost? We can get you live in weeks at a fraction. Worth a comparison?"
"We looked at Blackbird""Great for restaurants in their network. We’re white-label — your brand, your members, your data."
"Is this crypto/NFT stuff?""The infrastructure is modern and future-proof. Your customers sign up with email, just like any membership. No wallets, no tokens to explain."
"We want to build it ourselves""You could. Most teams we talk to have had that on the roadmap for 18 months. What’s blocking it? We can get you live while you decide."
"We don’t have budget for this""Free tier gets you to 100 members with full functionality. Try it, prove the model, then scale when you’re ready. No commitment."
"What if you go out of business?""We offer source code escrow for Enterprise clients — if we cease operations, you get the codebase. Your member data is always exportable."
"We need integrations with X""We have a full REST API and webhook support. Most integrations can be built in days, not months. What specifically do you need to connect?"
"How is this different from Patreon/Substack?""They’re great for discovery and simplicity. But they own the relationship, set the rules, and take 10-30%. TTConnect is your platform, your brand, your data, your rules. Decentralised — no single entity controls it."
"We don’t have technical resource""No dev team required. The platform is fully self-serve with a visual editor. We also offer advisory and hands-on onboarding support.”

15. KEY MESSAGES — QUICK REFERENCE

Headlines (Tested)

  • “Turn customers into your growth engine.”
  • “Where customers become members. And members become revenue.”
  • “Spend less finding customers. Make more from the ones you have.”

The Business Case (One Sentence)

Membership means you spend less finding new customers — because your members do your marketing for you — and make more from the customers you have — because members visit more often, spend more, and stick around longer.

The Business Case (With Numbers)

Finding a new customer costs 5-25x more than keeping one. Members visit 20% more often and spend 20% more when they do. 81% of consumers would join a loyalty programme if offered. The demand exists — the only barrier is execution.

Why Now

The cost of finding new customers has risen 222% in the last decade. The brands winning are the ones who’ve figured out how to keep them.

The Problem (Tight)

The enterprise platforms want $20K/month and a 6-month implementation. The eCommerce tools are locked to Shopify with pricing that scales against you. Building it yourself means a project that never reaches the top of the list.

The Solution (Three Pillars)

  1. Launch in weeks, not quarters
  2. Membership that makes money (not points that cost you)
  3. Rewards your customers actually value

16. SALES CONVERSATION PRINCIPLES

Based on analysis of highest-engagement meetings:

Do

  • Frame as infrastructure, not a product — “This enables your business model” > “buy this”
  • Lead with revenue unlock — commercial upside, not technical capability
  • Speak in their use cases — anchor in their world, their pain points
  • Use technical depth only after commercial interest — earn the right to go deep
  • Position as a bridge — TTConnect connects their world to new possibilities
  • Offer a concept pack — “Tell us the brand, we’ll show what their programme could look like. 48 hours, no obligation.”
  • Keep it conversational — peer-to-peer, not vendor-to-buyer
  • Use proof points — industry stats in place of (missing) case studies

Don’t

  • Don’t lead with “this is blockchain”
  • Don’t use jargon (CAC, LTV, QSR, NFT, Web3)
  • Don’t oversell technical capabilities before establishing business interest
  • Don’t position against established platforms aggressively — acknowledge their strengths
  • Don’t promise features that don’t exist yet

Conversation Flow

  1. Understand their business — What do they do? Who are their customers? What’s working? What’s not?

19. FAQ BANK

Q: What is TTConnect? A: TTConnect is a white-label membership and loyalty platform. It lets any brand launch a fully branded membership programme — with tiered memberships, products, quests, rewards, referrals, and analytics — in weeks, not months. Free to start, scales to enterprise.

Q: How much does it cost? A: Free for up to 100 members (full functionality, no time limit). $299/month for up to 1,000 members. $1,000/month for unlimited. No per-transaction fees. No volume-based pricing surprises.

Q: How long does it take to launch? A: Typically 2-4 weeks from sign-up to live. Some brands launch in days. Enterprise customisation may take longer.

Q: Do I need a development team? A: No. The platform is fully self-serve with a visual editor. If you need custom integrations, there’s a full API — but it’s optional, not required.

Q: Is this blockchain/crypto? A: Under the hood, yes — and that gives you structural advantages like true digital ownership, cross-brand interoperability, and programmable rewards. But your customers never need to know. They sign up with email, see a branded dashboard, and earn rewards. No wallets, no tokens, no crypto jargon.

Q: What industries does it work for? A: Hospitality, sport & entertainment, agencies & consultancies, creative & creators, retail, fashion, Web3 communities — any brand with customers they want to keep and grow.

Q: Can my customers pay with credit card? A: Yes. Card payments via Stripe are the default. Crypto payments are optional and can be enabled alongside card if you want both.

Q: Can I use my own domain? A: Yes. Each store gets a subdomain (e.g. yourbrand.ttconnect.xyz) and you can map your own custom domain (e.g. members.yourbrand.com).

Q: What if I already have a loyalty programme? A: TTConnect can run alongside or replace existing programmes. Many brands use it to upgrade from basic points systems to paid membership tiers with behaviour-based rewards.

Q: How do you compare to Shopify loyalty apps? A: Shopify apps (Smile.io, Yotpo) are great for Shopify-native eCommerce. If your business spans hospitality, events, entertainment, or multiple channels, you’ll outgrow them quickly. TTConnect works across all verticals with no platform lock-in.

Q: How do you compare to enterprise platforms (Salesforce, Oracle)? A: Same capability, fraction of the cost, live in weeks instead of months. No ecosystem lock-in. If you’ve been quoted $20K+/month, we’re worth a conversation.

Q: What’s the on-chain / blockchain benefit? A: Five structural advantages: (1) cross-brand interoperability without integration projects, (2) balance sheet efficiency (no growing points liability), (3) true member ownership of rewards, (4) programmable rewards beyond purchases, (5) all invisible to end users unless they choose otherwise.

Q: What support do you offer? A: Documentation, email support, onboarding guidance. For Advisory clients: membership strategy consulting, concept packs, go-to-market planning, custom storefront design, and AI-powered platform management.

Q: Can AI help manage my programme? A: Yes. TTConnect integrates with AI agents via MCP (Model Context Protocol). An AI assistant can help you brainstorm membership strategies, configure tiers, create products, manage quests, and optimise your programme — all within the platform.

Q: What happens if TokenTraxx shuts down? A: Enterprise clients can access source code escrow. All member data is exportable at any time. Because the infrastructure is decentralised, your on-chain assets (memberships, tokens) exist independently of our platform.

Q: Can I try it before committing? A: Absolutely. The free tier gives you full functionality for up to 100 members with no time limit and no credit card required. Or we can build you a concept pack in 48 hours showing exactly what your programme would look like — no obligation.

Q: What’s the next step? A: Three options:

  1. Start free — sign up at app.ttconnect.xyz and configure your store
  2. Get a concept pack — tell us your brand, we’ll mock up your membership programme in 48 hours
  3. Book a demo — 15 minutes to see the platform live and discuss your specific use case
