Using this app, towns and local councils are offering their residents digital shopping vouchers that can be used to make purchases in local shops. The authorities are also able to increase by an amount of their choice the value of the vouchers bought online by local people.
Cirklo aims to support local traders in the aftermath of the Covid-19 crisis. Fifteen or so municipalities have already adopted this system, or plan to do so soon, according to the official press release.
