How We Built a One-of-a-Kind Rewards System for Sparissimo
Meet Sparissimo Cashback
Sparissimo Cashback set out to transform shopping into a more rewarding experience, beginning with an online cashback portal in Switzerland. What started as a platform for online deals quickly expanded to include offline store promotions, innovative features for tie-ups with restaurants, and multi-level referrals with our SuperBack solution. With tailored features based on geography and currency, Sparissimo evolved into a global platform, serving users in Germany, the US, and the UK.
Our role extended beyond development to include managing services like deal updates and affiliate link verification to ensure smooth operations. By integrating location-based features, a central authentication system, and scaling support, Sparissimo has become a trusted cashback platform for users worldwide.
What Sparissimo Needed
Sparissimo came to us with a clear vision but complex requirements. Their growing community of users required a platform that could bridge online and offline shopping while offering seamless functionality and scalability. Here’s what they needed:
● Online Cashback System: A robust platform for online cashback.
● Offline Store Integration: Extending cashback features to physical stores and restaurants.
● Global Reach: Localized features for users in Switzerland, Germany, the US, and beyond.
● One Login, All Platforms: A centralized sign-on system to simplify user access.
● Reliable Support: Continuous maintenance to keep deals and affiliate links updated.
What We Did
Our partnership with Sparissimo focused on transforming their vision into a scalable, efficient, and user-centric solution. Here’s how we achieved it:
● Built a Robust Online Cashback Platform
We started with the basics: a strong online cashback system with a twist—a multi-level referral program. Users could earn not just from their referrals but from their referrals’ referrals too. (Win-win for everyone!)
● Brought Cashback to the Real World
Sparissimo wanted to bridge the gap between online and offline. So, we upgraded to a SuperBack solution, integrating local stores and restaurants.

● Made the Platform Multinational
With Sparissimo expanding beyond Switzerland, we customized the experience for users in Germany, the US, and the UK. Think localized stores, regional currencies, and a platform that feels tailored to where you are.
● Unified Everything with SSO
Inspired by how Google handles logins, we implemented a centralized authentication system. Now, users have one account across all Sparissimo platforms—no fuss, no extra logins.
● Took Over the Operational Heavy Lifting
Beyond development, we’ve been Sparissimo’s backbone for day-to-day operations. From adding fresh deals to verifying links and keeping stores updated, we ensure the platform runs like a dream.
Highlight: Restaurants
We tailored the system to partner with restaurants, enabling cashback on dining experiences. By integrating technology and affiliate promotion methods, Sparissimo not only helped drive foot traffic to these restaurants but also enhanced user engagement by rewarding everyday activities like dining out.
