Why wallet cards work
Unlike physical punch cards, digital wallet passes update in real time. When a customer earns a stamp or redeems a reward, their card refreshes automatically — no app, no re-download. They also appear on the lock screen, keeping your brand visible every time a customer checks their phone.
Choosing your card type
GetLoyal supports eight card types. Pick the one that fits your business model:
| Card Type | Best for |
|---|---|
| Points | Retail stores, restaurants, any purchase-based loyalty |
| Stamp | Cafés, bakeries, frequent repeat purchases |
| Membership | Gyms, spas, clubs with recurring fees |
| Discount | Always-on percentage discount for loyal customers |
| Gift Card | Pre-loaded balance for gifts or promotions |
| Coupon | Single-use offer codes |
| Event Ticket | Concerts, classes, seated events |
| Access | Staff IDs, building access, VIP entry |
Designing your card
Open Card Designer from the sidebar. The live preview updates as you edit each field.
Branding essentials
- Business name — shown prominently at the top of the card
- Logo — square PNG, minimum 200×200px; displayed in the top-left corner
- Strip image — a wide banner that forms the visual background (1125×432px recommended). Use a high-quality photo of your product, venue, or brand imagery.
- Primary color — used for buttons, accents, and the pass icon in the wallet
Card-type specific fields
Points card:
- Points label (e.g. "pts", "stars", "coins")
- Earn rate (e.g. 1 AED = 2 pts)
- Reward threshold (e.g. redeem at 500 pts)
- Reward description (e.g. "Free coffee")
Stamp card:
- Total stamps required (typically 5–10)
- Reward description
- Custom stamp icon (optional)
Membership card:
- Tier names (e.g. Silver, Gold, Platinum)
- Expiry date behavior (fixed date, rolling 12 months, or never)
Publishing your card
When you're happy with the design, click Save & Publish. GetLoyal generates:
- A join URL — a short link customers tap to add the card to their wallet
- A QR code — downloadable PNG you can print or display on a screen
**Tip:** You can publish multiple card designs under one account. Useful if you run different promotions for different customer segments.
Updating a live card
Any changes you save are pushed automatically to every customer's wallet within minutes — no customer action required. This makes it easy to run flash promotions: update the strip image, push a notification, and watch footfall increase.
