Everything shoppers and businesses ask us most. Local stories, guides and events are coming here soon.
For shoppers
What is Kiiwi?
Kiiwi is a free app that connects you with local businesses through real-time offers and experiences. Discover something new nearby, save with exclusive incentives, and support the businesses that make your community unique.
How does Crave work?
You tell Kiiwi what you are craving. Nearby businesses decide what they are willing to offer, and Crave connects the two. You choose how much you want to spend, see the incentives available to you, pick your favorite, and go.
Is Kiiwi free for shoppers?
Yes. Downloading and using Kiiwi is completely free. You only pay for the deals you choose to buy, and those always cost less than the regular price.
What is Kiiwi Cash?
Kiiwi Cash is credit you can earn and spend inside the app on local deals. New shoppers often get a Kiiwi Cash welcome bonus to start exploring.
Where does Kiiwi work?
Kiiwi is live in Long Beach, California and growing. More cities are on the way.
For businesses
What does Kiiwi cost?
Nothing up front. There are no subscription fees and no long-term contracts. Kiiwi takes a small commission only when a customer actually buys and shows up.
How is this different from ads on Google, Meta or Yelp?
Those platforms charge you for impressions and clicks whether or not anyone walks in. Kiiwi charges you only for results: real transactions from real nearby customers.
How much control do I have over my offers?
Full control. You create the offer, choose when it runs, set the incentive and spending requirements, limit availability, pause it, change it, or turn it back on at any time.
What is Crave for my business?
Crave is Kiiwi's real-time demand engine. Shoppers nearby tell Kiiwi what they are craving, and you decide what you are willing to offer during slow, average, or busy hours. You control the dial; Kiiwi brings the customers.
How do I get started?
Book a 15-minute demo or create your free profile and self-onboard. Most businesses are live with their first offer the same week.
