How to create a digital loyalty card for your business

Updated: June 10, 2026

To create a digital loyalty card, design it in a wallet-card builder, pick a mechanic (stamps, cashback or VIP), publish it, and hand out a QR code customers scan to add the card to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet. With Loyaltyfy this takes an afternoon and needs no app for your customers.

1. Choose the loyalty mechanic

Decide how customers earn: a stamp card ("buy N, get one free"), cashback on the bill, a growing discount by number of visits, or VIP status tiers.

Match it to your business — cafes and barbershops do well with stamps; restaurants and shops with cashback; salons and gyms with visit-based discounts or VIP tiers.

2. Design the card

In the live builder set your colours, logo, card template and stamp icon. A preview shows the exact Apple Wallet and Google Wallet card so what you design is what the customer gets.

3. Publish and issue

Publish the program and print or display the QR code at your counter. Customers scan it, fill a short form, and the card is added to their phone's wallet — no app to install.

4. Add stamps and bring guests back

Your cashier opens a web app, scans the guest's card and adds a stamp or cashback in one tap; the card updates with a push notification. Re-engage guests later with Telegram broadcasts.
