Digital loyalty cards vs plastic cards
A digital loyalty card beats plastic on every practical front: there's nothing to print or reissue, it can't be left at home, and it updates with a push the moment a stamp is added. Loyaltyfy issues the card to Apple Wallet and Google Wallet, so it's always on the phone the customer already carries.
- No printing or reissue costs — issue cards from a QR.
- Can't be lost or forgotten — it's in the phone's wallet.
- Updates live with push notifications on every stamp or reward.
- Redesign the card any time without reprinting anything.

Frequently asked questions
Are digital loyalty cards better than plastic?
For most businesses, yes. A digital card in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet costs nothing to issue, can't be lost, and updates with a push when a stamp is added — none of which a plastic card can do.
Do customers need an app instead of the plastic card?
No. The digital card is added to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, which is already on the phone. There is no separate app to install.
What does it cost to switch from plastic?
Plans start at €59/month with a free 30-day trial. Plastic loyalty cards for small business cost money on every print run and reissue — with digital cards that line item disappears entirely.
