Watch a pass get made, sent and used.

Three minutes, all real. A group makes a pass, a member taps in, and the same pass works on a website, in a shop and at the counter.

Your people, recognized wherever they show up.

Better than a password. Safer than a list.

Passwords get passed around. Class lists get copied. A pass can't be.

The old way

  • Passwords get passed on to people who never joined.
  • A "members-only" link works for anyone who has it.
  • The printed directory gets copied and shared.
  • Removing one person means a new password for everyone.

With a Bothy pass

  • Each pass belongs to one member. It can't be copied, sold or handed on.
  • There's no link to forward. The pass is on the member's phone.
  • You add and remove members yourself, in a tap.
  • Remove one person and nobody else is bothered.
  • No public directory of names and numbers. Only you see your member list.

One pass. Every tool knows it.

Nothing to connect. One Skye Meta license turns them all on.

Everything here works today. Shopify is in early access: we set it up with you.

One license. Every tool. No per-member fees.

Setting up is free. One Skye license turns everything on: make your pass, and use it on your website, in your shop and at the counter.

Founding 50 Communities

Be one of the first 50. Your first year is on us.

The first 50 communities get a full year free: the Skye license and your first 50 seats. Near the end of the year we'll remind you a few times, so you can add a plan and keep things running. Nothing stops by surprise.

Bothy, answered.

What is Bothy?

Bothy lets your group give its members one pass. Your website, your shop and your counter can all check it, so members get what's theirs: members-only pages, member prices, a perk at the register. One pass, one license.

Do my members need to know anything about crypto?

No. There's nothing to buy and nothing to trade. A member taps a link in an email, types a 6-digit code, and their pass is ready in about a minute.

How much does Bothy cost?

Setting up is free. One Skye license is $49 a month or $350 a year. It turns on every tool and includes your first 50 member seats. More seats are $20 per 50, paid once. The first 50 communities get their first year free.

Do members pay anything?

Never. There are no per-member fees. One license covers you whether you have 30 members or 3,000.

Why is a pass better than a password?

A password gets shared. A link gets forwarded. A printed directory gets copied. A pass belongs to one person, and it can't be copied, sold or handed on. You add and remove members yourself. There's no public directory for anyone to copy; only you can see your member list.

Can I remove someone, and add them back later?

Yes. Remove a member and their pass stops working everywhere from the next check: members-only pages, member prices and perks at the counter. We also re-check every member once a week. If they come back, send them a new pass.

Do I need a website?

No. Plenty of clubs and teams don't have one. Just tick "no website" and go straight to making your pass. If you do have a site, you'll do a quick one-time check that it's yours. It changes nothing your visitors can see.

Do my members have to sign up at every shop that welcomes us?

No. On Shopify shops using Skye Recognition, members who already shop there are matched automatically each week, and the shop never gets your member list. On WooCommerce shops and members-only pages, a member connects their pass once. Nobody fills in a form twice.

What happens when my free founding year ends?

We'll email you a few reminders first. Add a plan ($49 a month or $350 a year) to keep things running. Your members keep their passes either way.

Can I use Bothy outside the United States?

Yes. Bothy works in any country, and the Founding 50 offer is open everywhere. Plans are billed in US dollars by card through Stripe, which takes cards from most countries.

“Big brands spent fifty years building moats out of loyalty. I wanted a soccer team to have one by Friday.”
