Spot lets you send a real café treat to a friend without leaving your texts.
You’re already in the conversation — “rough week?”, “thanks for covering me”, “happy birthday.” Spot turns that moment into something they can actually use. Pick a drink from a participating local café, wrap it, and send it as a sealed gift right in the thread.
HOW IT WORKS
- Open Spot inside Messages.
- Pick a treat from a participating local café — a matcha, latte, or cold brew. The drink is the gift, funded at its real menu price.
- Add a Birthday, Thanks, or Congrats stamp and an optional note.
- Pay with Apple Pay, then send the sealed gift in the conversation.
WHEN THEY OPEN IT
- They tap to unwrap, confirm their phone number with a quick text code, and can add the merchant gift card to Apple Wallet. At the café, they present the pass at the counter. They can start a spot back with a tap.
NOT ON IPHONE? IT STILL WORKS
- The same gift opens on the web, where the recipient can confirm their phone number and claim it without installing Spot.
WHY PEOPLE LIKE IT
- It lives where the moment happens: your text thread.
- The gift is a drink, not a number — you spot a matcha, not “$5.”
- It supports participating neighborhood cafés.
- It’s ready in Apple Wallet on iPhone, with a web claim path for everyone else.
