Students App

Students often miss out on the discounts and benefits they can access at local stores partnered with their schools. Finding and using these discounts can be confusing, time-consuming and often requires physical cards. We needed to create a solution that would simplify this process, making it easier for students to discover and use discounts quickly and in a modern way.

The solution is a mobile application that allows students to easily access exclusive discounts at stores partnered with their schools. The app has an intuitive interface that lets students filter stores by categories, search for discounts using an interactive map and redeem discounts with digital coupons and QR codes. It connects students with their local community, helping them find and use benefits while on the go.

• Easy access to discounts: Students can quickly and easily find stores offering discounts, saving time and money.
• Connecting with the community: The app encourages students to discover local stores and strengthen the community through promotional offers.
• Personalized experience: Filters and the interactive map allows students to find only the stores and discounts that suit their needs.
• Digital coupons and QR codes: Enables easy redemption of discounts without the need for physical cards or coupons.

• React Native: Used for mobile app development, enabling fast cross-platform development.
• Golang: Backend technology used for efficient data management and API integrations.
• API Integrations: Enables interaction with external systems to update discounts and store information.
• QR Code Integration: Allows the generation of digital coupons with QR codes for easy discount redemption in stores.
• Interactive Map Feature: A feature that allows students to discover nearby discounts using an interactive map.

The development process was iterative and focused on enhancing the user experience. We started by analyzing students’ needs and gathering feedback on the challenges they face when trying to access discounts. Based on these insights, we created prototypes and tested key features to ensure students could easily find stores and redeem discounts. Once the core features were in place, we implemented the necessary technologies, including API integrations for updating discounts and QR codes for digital coupons. Through continuous testing, feedback and iterations, we refined the app until it was ready for its final version, which is now available to students.
