Payment gateway for Cultural Bonus
The Cultural Bonus in Spain is a government initiative aimed at promoting the consumption of cultural products and services among young people. This bonus offers a sum of money to young people who turn 18 that they can spend on cultural activities and products such as books, tickets to concerts, cinema, theatre, music, video games, among others. Below is a detail of how it works from a technical perspective in terms of payment:
Bonus Request
Requirements: Young people who turn 18 can request the bonus through a specific platform enabled by the government.
Registration: They must register on the platform by providing their personal data and verifying their identity through authentication systems.
Bonus Issuance
Amount: The bonus grants a fixed amount of money, usually 400 euros, to each beneficiary.
Format: The bonus can be issued in digital format through a prepaid card or a mobile application.
Use of the Bonus
Adhered Establishments:The voucher can only be used in establishments and platforms that have joined the program. These places must register and be approved by the administration.
Products and Services: It must be allocated to cultural products and services defined by the program, such as books, tickets to cultural events, music, cinema, theater, museums, dance, video games, etc.
Payment Process
Validation: When making a purchase, the establishment validates the bonus through an application or online platform that verifies the balance and eligibility of the product or service.
Balance Deduction: The purchase amount is deducted from the available balance in the beneficiary's bonus.
Transaction Record: All transactions are recorded on the cultural bonus platform for tracking and auditing.
Reimbursement to Establishments
Billing: Establishments must present the billing of purchases made with the bonus to the administration.
Payment to Establishments: The administration processes payments and reimburses establishments the amount corresponding to purchases made with the bonus.
Control and Audit
Supervision: Control and audit mechanisms are implemented to ensure the correct use of the bonus, avoiding fraud and ensuring that it is allocated to eligible cultural products and services.
Reports: Periodic reports are generated on the use of the bonus, including consumption statistics and analysis of the program's impact.
The Cultural Bonus aims not only to incentivize cultural consumption among young people, but also to support cultural and creative industries, ensuring that a new generation has access and appreciation for culture in its various forms.
