OUR BIGGEST UPDATE YET!!!
- Retooled Stripe onboarding helps new users get paid quicker using Stripe Express accounts. All it takes to start is an email and you're ready to accept payments! Stripe handles the rest! (Sorry bots, real emails only).
- Timed "Departure Stimulant" Feature!
Groundbreaking and game-changing, our patent-pending new concept for incentivizing seats and tables to free up using timed micro-rewards for departures that expire within five, ten and fifteen minute cycles. For people to access the reward, they must stand up and release the seat or table they occupy and simply leave within your time frame! That's it! Businesses and users alike can use this! And if you're a business with reservations, no longer will you need to be worried about how to get campers up and out, so new customers can sit. Plus, you decide who takes over the space next!
- PILGRIM hyper-location geoengine by FourSquare - Pilgrim's location tech used by other tech giants auto senses exactly where you are, meaning you no longer need to tell us where you are before posting, requesting trades, or making crowd reports! All you do is open BetrSpot and get right to what you want to do!

2017-01-11
In this version of BetrSpot, spot posters will be able to optionally pledge to donate a portion of the proceeds to a charity of their choosing.
This is merely a promise and works purely on our community's honesty system. The spots posted with pledges will be marked with a special icon in Live Posts section which in other words will indicate that those users are willing to donate some of their proceeds to a charity if their spots are traded. Once again how and how much they donate is purely up to our users.
Donations to charities are ought to be done outside of BetrSpot app since we are not current providing ability for funds to be transferred to charities yet.
If you're feeling generous, just select a charity while posting your spot; make sure to keep your promise and donate to your charity, then, watch good things happen.
