Use case
Replace paper punch cards without changing what works.
Your punch card already does the important thing: it gives customers a reason to come back. Moving it into Apple Wallet or Google Wallet keeps the mechanic and changes the delivery. Here is exactly what stays the same, what changes, and what you give up.
We set it up. Your team runs it.
In short
- Replace Paper Punch Cards with a Wallet Loyalty Card
- Replacing paper punch cards with a wallet stamp card keeps the same rule (eligible visits earn stamps, a full card earns a reward) and changes where the card lives and how a stamp is recorded. The card sits on the customer's phone, staff record a stamp by scanning it, the card updates, and the business sees the visits. The trade-off is that customers need a compatible smartphone, and the business pays an annual subscription instead of a print run.
How it works
The switch, step by step
Loyal-T Cards prepares the digital card from your existing program and onboards your team before launch.
01
Send us your current program
Your logo, colours, the number of stamps and the reward. The digital card is configured to match, or improved with you if you want to change it.
02
Put the QR code on the counter
Customers scan it and the branded stamp card is added to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet. Existing paper progress can be recorded on the new card if you choose to honour it.
03
Staff scan instead of stamp
At each eligible visit, staff scan the card with the Loyal-T Cards scanner. The card updates on the customer's phone.
04
Run both for a short while
Keep paper cards available for a week or two while customers move across. Most counters find the paper stops being asked for on its own.
What changes for the customer
They stop carrying a card and start carrying a pass. Joining is one QR scan; there is no app to install and no account to create. At each visit they open the wallet, or simply hold the phone up, and staff scan it. They can see their stamps at any time, and, where you configure it, receive a notification when the reward is ready.
What changes for your team
The stamp becomes a scan. Instead of an ink pad, staff use the Loyal-T Cards scanner on a phone or tablet to record the visit and, when the card is full, to redeem the reward. The same discipline applies: no scan, no stamp. Nothing is recorded from a sale automatically, and nothing changes in your POS.
Onboarding is part of the plan. Your team is shown the scanner, the redemption step and the dashboard before launch.
What changes for the business
You can see it. The dashboard records new visits, repeat visits, stamps issued and rewards redeemed, which a paper card cannot tell you. You can change the reward or the design without reprinting. And you gain a channel: wallet notifications, where configured, to cardholders who have gone quiet.
What moves, what stays
Same mechanic, different delivery
A short list of what stays and what moves.
Stays the same
- Eligible visits earn stamps; a full card earns the reward
- Your reward, your threshold, your rules
- Staff decide when a visit is eligible
- Your POS, booking and ordering tools
Changes
- The card lives in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet
- Staff scan the card instead of stamping it
- Visits and redemptions are recorded in the dashboard
- The card can be updated and can carry notifications
Where paper still wins
Paper punch cards need no compatible phone, are instantly familiar and cost almost nothing per card. For a very simple business, or one whose customers do not carry smartphones, they may be enough. A digital card is easier for customers who carry a phone, supports updates, communications and tracking, and does not rely on a physical card, but it is a subscription rather than a print run, and it asks your team to scan rather than stamp.
- No phone needed
- Instantly familiar
- No subscription
- May be enough for a very simple program

Common questions
Yes. When a customer switches, your staff can record their existing progress on the digital card so nobody loses earned stamps. Whether you do this is your decision.
Adding the card is one QR scan with the phone camera on a compatible device, and staff can show a customer at the counter. Customers without a compatible smartphone cannot use a wallet card; keep a paper option for them if they matter to your trade.
Keep them available for the first week or two. As customers add the digital card, the paper stops being asked for. Most businesses are fully digital within a few weeks, but there is no deadline.
No. A stamp is recorded when a member of staff scans the card. Loyal-T Cards does not connect to your till.
No separate Loyal-T Cards app is required. Customers scan your QR code and keep the branded loyalty card in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet on a compatible device.
