“You put whatever dollar amount that you want to purchase in there, and it generates a digital gift card that goes into your wallet app on your phone just like all the other gift cards that we have,” Overman said. “When you’re shopping downtown, you simply pull your wallet up, and you go to that gift card, and you scan it at the point of sale.”
Patrons can only use the gift card at participating downtown businesses. The organization has 28 businesses participating so far.
