Shoppoint, the everyday spending rewards app founded in 2023, today announced its biggest launch to date: the Billion Receipts Initiative, a nationwide public-good mission to digitize one billion offline consumer receipts and build the country’s first data refinery for the retail economy. The program formally kicks off in June 2026 and is open to every Nigerian shopper, in every city, on every income level. It runs as an ongoing mission with continuous shopper participation and brand-sponsored missions through the journey to one billion receipts. A ₦10 million prize is reserved for the shopper who snaps the one billionth, with millions of other winning opportunities along the way.
Since launching its app, Shoppoint has already verified over 10 million receipts. The Billion Receipts Initiative is the scale-up: an invitation to every Nigerian shopper, from supermarket regulars to open-market traders to recharge buyers, to digitize their receipts, earn cashback on the spending they were going to do anyway, and contribute to a national record that has never existed before.
“Nigeria’s everyday economy lives offline. It moves through cash, neighborhood stores, open-market stalls, and millions of moments that never make it into any data system. That entire layer is trapped in silos, invisible to the consumer brands selling into it and to anyone trying to understand it. The Billion Receipts Initiative is how we map it, together. We are building the data refinery for Nigeria’s offline retail economy, and the shoppers who power it are the ones we are paying. Every shopper who scans a receipt is helping build the country’s first real-time, verified view of how Nigerians actually buy. Consumer brands get the visibility to engage and reward their real customers in the moment. The shoppers themselves finally get paid for the value they have always been creating.”
— Kessiena Majemite, Founder and CEO of Shoppoint
How participation rewards shoppers
The initiative runs across eight levels, with winning receipts drawn at every milestone as the national counter climbs to one billion where one lucky shopper wins 10,000,000 Naira with other cashback incentives to be won across all milestones.
In addition, a layer of brand-sponsored missions runs alongside the base program, with participating FMCG and retail brands funding additional missions tied to their products, categories, and stores. Eligible receipts span the everyday economy, including supermarkets, pharmacies, restaurants, filling stations, fashion retail, and more. The program accepts printed retailer and brand receipts, point-of-sale (POS) receipts, and in-app purchase receipts on Shoppoint, all verified in real time. Points earned across missions convert to cashback delivered to participating shoppers in-app. Full program rules, the live receipt counter, and terms and conditions apply at billionreceipt.org.
Building Fetch Rewards for Africa
Shoppoint is openly modeling its category ambition on Fetch Rewards, the U.S. receipt-rewards platform that grew into a multi-billion-dollar business by turning the receipts shoppers would otherwise discard into a direct channel between brands and the customers who buy from them. The same insight powers Shoppoint: purchase data that would otherwise be thrown away becomes the connecting tissue for direct-to-consumer relationships, with brands rewarding the customers they already serve. Shoppoint is adapting the model for Africa’s cash-heavy, informal, mobile-first retail reality.
What brands plug into
For FMCG and retail partners, the initiative is positioned to be the largest offline retail trade catalyst Nigeria has seen, designed to drive footfall, sales volume, and customer loyalty without the heavy cost of traditional trade promotion. Brands run scan-attributed missions on Shoppoint, paying only on confirmed purchase activity, with the reward routed directly to the shopper who earned it.
An ongoing mission, not a campaign
The Billion Receipts Initiative is designed as an open-ended national mission rather than a fixed campaign window. June 2026 marks the formal kickoff. Shoppers join from anywhere in Nigeria at any point in the journey, and brand partners onboard on a rolling basis through the run to one billion receipts. Awareness drives, community ambassador activations, and partner onboarding begin immediately. Shoppers, FMCG and retail partners can learn more about the mission at billionreceipt.org.
About Shoppoint
Shoppoint is an everyday spending rewards app founded in 2023, built to give Nigerian shoppers complete utility across the shopping journey. Before shopping, the Check Price feature surfaces verified price transparency across products and retailers. As shoppers move through the day, the app helps them track purchases across categories and channels. After shopping, snapping a receipt earns cashback delivered in-app, alongside rewards that contribute to the country’s largest opt-in record of verified consumer spending. Since launch, Shoppoint has verified over 10 million receipts. For FMCG and retail brands, the platform turns that activity into real-time, attribution-grade insight: a verified view of which customers buy what, where, and how often, and a direct way to engage and reward them. Shoppoint is building the data refinery for Africa’s offline retail economy, starting with Nigeria.
