France has introduced something no other country has: the bonus réparation — a government subsidy program that pays up to €50 directly toward the cost of any mobile phone or tablet repair at an approved independent repair shop. The program is funded by manufacturers and administered through approved shops, creating a structural customer acquisition mechanism that is unique in the world.
When a customer brings their phone to a participating shop, the bonus reduces their out-of-pocket cost by up to €50. This drives repair decisions — customers who might have hesitated now act. The demand is built into the system. The market is brought to you.
Becoming a Bonus Réparation Participating Shop
Registration is straightforward through France's Fonds de réparation. Participating shops must meet quality standards — professional documentation, parts quality, warranty provision — all of which RepairCoreX supports by default.
Once registered, your shop appears in the official directory that hundreds of thousands of French smartphone owners search every month.

Why RepairCoreX and the Bonus Réparation Are Perfect Together
The bonus réparation requires professional documentation: invoice with your SIRET number, repair category, parts used. RepairCoreX generates all of this automatically for every repair. Participating in the program with a manual paper system is burdensome. With RepairCoreX, it is seamless.
Your shop is compliant, searchable, subsidised, and professional from day one.
La France a créé le marché pour vous. Il vous suffit d'être le professionnel qui le sert.
