And it just got such a great reaction.

They wanted to start putting QR codes on every package that they sent out.

Great question.

And we're still working out.

Postal is one of our best partners and we just love working with them.

So we're figuring out the best ways to work together.

But ideally what's going to happen is that people are going to be embedding our software into their platforms.

So then it's just an extra thing that they can sell to their customers and then we'll share the revenue on that.

Great question.

And it also gives us the virality piece that we can have, you know, powered by Ringpin on every page that someone could click on if they thought it was a cool experience to build their own QR code and landing page.

But we will have some other customers that want to white label it and present it as their own software.

Yeah, it would be for either.

Yeah, I mean, with Postal, just to be totally transparent, we just started to prove the concept and we wanted to see how it was going to play out before figuring out the financial pieces behind it.

But most likely then, because we like them so much, we will give them the software and then just share the revenue from customers that they sell it to.

Postal has been since, sorry, since the pivot where we added the QR codes and everything towards the end of last year.
