Performance-based, not upfront.
Traditional advertising asks for investment with no guarantee. With Torch, your contribution is entirely performance-based - you only pay after a completed transaction has already generated revenue for your business.
Compete on meaning, not on price.
Torch brings you cause-minded customers who choose where to spend based on values as well as price and convenience - without a single discount, promotion, or price cut on your side. You keep your margins. You keep your pricing. You gain a growing community that wants to spend with you.
The how?
How does it work?
You grow, together with good.
Every time a Torch customer taps to pay in your business, a small share of that transaction is set aside - an agreed contribution, fixed for your partnership, paid only when a sale has already happened.
Half goes to the charity your customer has chosen. The rest supports the Torch ecosystem that keeps bringing conscious spenders through your door.
No upfront cost. No wasted ad spend. No impressions, no clicks, nothing paid until a customer has already bought from you.

Your questions, answered.
Think of it as a performance-based marketing investment, not a lost margin. Most businesses already put budget toward advertising or promotions without any guarantee of return. With Torch, your contribution only happens after a transaction has already generated revenue for you - and half of it goes directly to a cause your customer has chosen, turning a marketing cost into a visible, verifiable social impact and a genuine CSR asset.
No. Torch works alongside your existing payment setup - your dedicated terminal sits beside what you already use, with no integration required and no disruption to how customers pay.
Every contribution supports a cause your customer has already chosen, making your business part of something people can see and feel good about - not just another transaction.
Yes. Contributions are only taken after a completed transaction, calculated and safeguarded in line with UK regulatory requirements, and fully traceable to the sale, the cause, and the date.
Not quite. A donation sits outside your business activity. A Torch contribution is built into the transaction itself - a small, fixed share of revenue you've already earned, redirected automatically. No separate ask, no extra admin, no changing how you trade.
Part of something bigger
Not just a merchant network - a founding coalition
Early partners aren't simply joining Torch - they're helping shape what purpose-driven commerce in the UK looks like. As a founding business, your partnership comes with early-mover status, long-term community goodwill, enhanced visibility across Torch, and recognition as one of the businesses that helped define it.
Bring in customers who care where they spend, protect your pricing, and back your community - paying only when it's already worked.
Trade like always. Stand for something more.
