Questions

Meridian early access — FAQ

What does early access in Meridian mean?

Meridian & Lauderdale County is the founding community for Good Circles. Early access means neighbors here go first: you elect the nonprofit your shopping will support and pick the local businesses you want on the platform, ahead of the September 2026 launch in the Jackson metro.

Does it cost anything to join?

No. Joining is free for shoppers and nonprofits — no membership, subscription, or hidden fees. You’ll save about 10% on local purchases once shopping opens. Local businesses pay only a 1% fee on profit.

How do elections work?

You pick one Meridian-area nonprofit from the ballot — that’s your election. About 10% of the merchant’s net profit on every local purchase you make will fund it, automatically. You confirm your email so every election is one real neighbor, and you can change your election later.

Did these organizations endorse Good Circles?

No — and that’s by design. The nonprofits and businesses listed on the ballot have not endorsed Good Circles. They’re listed because they serve Meridian & Lauderdale County, and they are elected by neighbors like you. We share that interest with them privately as it becomes real.
