Q&A

Creating a Trendigo account is done from the Mobile App which can be downloaded to an Android smartphone or iPhone. Some information is needed. You then receive an email with an authentication code that you must enter in your mobile application. It’s that simple. To be able to use your account, that is to say pay and receive cashback on your electronic wallets, you must associate a bank card. The information is encrypted and made inaccessible.

An account is never refused. However, it is possible that an account cannot be created for one of the following reasons:
- The address does not exist. This happens when the address is entered incorrectly. Check spelling and postal code in particular.
- The email is not valid. Account validation is done from an email sent to you to confirm your identity. If the address is wrong or misspelled, you cannot receive it and therefore cannot validate it.
- There is no payment method associated with your account. To be effective, a Trendigo account must be linked to a payment card. This does not prevent the creation of the account, but its use. To remedy this, add a card and check, if you have one, that it is valid. If you still can’t create your account, contact our customer support: xxx xxx xxxx.

It is not possible to create multiple accounts with the same email. It is possible to create multiple accounts, but this is not necessary. It is not necessary to create multiple Trendigo accounts, even if you are going to different merchants. The app handles payments, cashback rewards and assigns them to merchants where you can use them. You don't have to do anything except scan the QR code when checking out. If you want to use multiple cards, no need to create multiple accounts. You can add as many cards as you want and choose which one to pay with, including with each payment.

All Trendigo customers have a main wallet on which the amounts received in cash-back from merchants who are members of the Trendigo community are loaded. As the Trendigo payment application is a universal payment method, it is also used to pay at merchants, customer groups or franchises that accept this payment method. Each of them has their own wallet that accumulates the amounts that can be spent at home. You don't have to manage these wallets. Each time you want to pay, the application informs you of the amount available at that merchant and asks if you want to use it.

The Trendigo payment application is a payment method that allows you to pay bills at merchants that accept it. To use it, a customer must download the app to their smartphone, create an account and add a payment card.
To pay, you must press the "Pay" button at the bottom of the application pages and scan the Trendigo QR Code at the merchant. Two QR codes exist:
- The unique code specific to the merchant.
Scan the code.
Enter the amount to pay in the page that opens, then, if applicable, the tip you want to leave, choose the payment card (by default, the last used), use or not Trendigo points.
Confirm your payment.
- The code created by the merchant on his phone.
Scan the code on the merchant's phone, verify that the amount is correct, then, if applicable, the tip you want to leave and press pay.
With each payment, you can choose to use the cash back available in your wallet.
The balance between the amount to be paid and the amount in the wallet is debited from your card.
