Frequently Asked Questions

Broke & Buzzed is a price comparison platform that helps users find the best deals on alcoholic beverages at local stores. We compare prices across multiple locations, allow users to set price alerts, and provide a transparent way to shop in-store with confidence that you're getting the best price.

Yes, Broke & Buzzed is completely free for users and consumers. We make money through our partnerships with stores, who pay a small fee for verified foot traffic that we drive to their locations.

No, we do not sell or deliver alcohol. Broke & Buzzed is strictly a price comparison and discovery platform. All purchases are made directly at the physical store location. We simply help you find the best prices before you go shopping.

We're currently launching in select areas in the Northeastern United States, with plans to expand nationwide. Our initial launch includes areas around Boston, Providence, and other major cities. Join our waitlist to be notified when we launch in your area!

We strive to maintain the most up-to-date pricing information possible. Prices are sourced directly from partner stores and updated regularly. However, prices may occasionally change before our system updates. In these cases, the in-store price will be the final price.

Simply sign up through our partner form, and our team will reach out to guide you through the onboarding process. We'll help you set up your store profile, upload your inventory, and integrate with our platform.

There are no upfront costs or monthly fees. Stores only pay a small per-visit fee (ranging from $0.50-$0.75 depending on your partnership tier) for verified foot traffic that comes from our app. If a user finds your store through our app and makes a purchase, you pay the fee. If not, you pay nothing.

We offer multiple options: manual updates through our partner dashboard, CSV/spreadsheet uploads, or API integration with popular POS systems. Premium and Elite partners also get access to bulk update tools and automatic sync options.

When a customer shows their Broke & Buzzed cart at checkout, your staff can either scan the QR code in the app or enter a simple verification code in your partner dashboard. This process takes seconds and helps us accurately track which customers came from our platform.

We offer both a web application and native mobile apps for iOS and Android. The mobile apps provide enhanced features like barcode scanning and location-based alerts when you're near a store with good deals.

The app requires an internet connection to fetch the most current prices. However, once you've added items to your cart, that information is cached so you can show your cart at checkout even if you temporarily lose connection in-store.

Set price alerts for your favorite products and get notified via email or push notification when they go on sale at nearby stores. You can set specific price thresholds or get alerts for any price drop.
