In the midst of COVID-19, businesses of all shapes and sizes are looking for creative ways to
continue offering their products and services, and keep customers engaged.
The Ionia Area Chamber is excited to support these efforts by announcing a temporary modification to
our Community Cash program - a benefit program designed to help keep money in our
community and bring sales to your doorstep.
Comunity Cash essentially functions as a gift certificate.
Let us sell gift certificates to support YOUR Business!
1. Are you a local business who is legally unable to accept income during this time due to
business closure and unemployment? This program is PERFECT for you! Since the Ionia Area
Chamber of Commerce will hold all funds until you are re-open and the Community Cash is
redeemed, you are able to receive promises of future income while staying in compliance with
the law!
2. Are you a local business who is still legally able to accept income, but do not currently have a
gift card or certificate option, or perhaps an online platform to sell certificates?
3. Members of the Ionia Area Chamber of Commerce may become a merchant at any time for no
sign-up fee.
THROUGH MAY 31ST ?
ALL NON-MEMBER SIGN UP FEES WAIVED!
(Normally one-time $195.00 fee!)
1. As opposed to standard operating procedures, our temporarily modified program aims to sell certificates that must be designated upon purchase to a particular merchant. In the event that a
selected merchant is unable to permanently re-open, the purchaser may request the chamber to
?transfer? their certificate to another merchant.
2. In order to designate a merchant, all purchases must be completed in one of two ways, so we
are able to indicate the selected merchant on the certificate received by the purchaser:
- By calling the Ionia Area Chamber of Commerce at (616) 527 ? 2560.
- Or, available IMMEDIATELY, in person, at Ionia Lock & Key, an authorized seller of Community Cash!
1. Certificates are purchased as indicated above.
2. Certificates can be mailed or email if purchased through the chamber.
If purchased at Ionia Lock & Key, certificates will be received upon purchase.
3. The certificate is presented to you, the merchant, when a purchase is made.
4. You quickly verify the code on the certificate using simple technology we provide.

5. The Ionia Area Chamber pays you via ACH electronic funds transfer or check twice each
month (upon redemption)
Can the certificates be used more than once?
No. Each certificate has a unique code that, when verified, cannot be reused.
Can I get a report on activity?
Yes, by logging on to the Merchant Portal on our website you can see what has been redeemed and paid.
What if I have questions?
The Ionia Area Chamber and our technology partner are here to make sure you have everything you need.
What does it cost?
There is a participation fee of 8% per certificate face value.
This covers the operational and marketing costs of the program as well as credit card fees.
That?s it, no expensive equipment or outrageous discounts.
Members of the Ionia Area Chamber of Commerce may become a merchant at any time for no sign-up fee.
