Digital loyalty cards for Apple and Google Wallet

No. Apple Wallet and Google Wallet are built into every iPhone and Android phone. A customer taps Add to Wallet on the card's page, or on the .pkpass you email them, and the card is in their wallet.

Yes. Design the card in the visual editor, then run the program from the Pass Manager: add a customer, add points, push a reward note, or revoke a card, all by clicking. The API is optional.

Every card has a serial number you get back when you create it. PUT the new balance to that serial and the card updates in place on every device it was added to, same link, no reissue. Set a changeMessage on the points field and the customer sees a note ("You are at 1,280 points").

Yes. Put the customer ID in barcodeValue and choose the format your scanner reads: QR, PDF417, Aztec, or Code128. The barcode renders in both wallets and scans like any plastic card.

Yes. One POST /api/passes returns the signed Apple .pkpass and a Save to Google Wallet link for the same card, and it counts as one pass. Updates and push work on both. Your custom update message shows on the Apple lock screen; Google's banner is generic and your text lives inside the card.

A stamp card is a text field you increment, for example a STAMPS field set to 7 / 10. Update it on each visit and fire a changeMessage when it hits the goal. If the stamp card is your whole product, the punch cards page covers it in more depth.

The card lives on our servers, so the balance is not lost. Resend the same install link and the current card, with the latest points, adds to the replacement phone under the same customer ID.

Passes usually transfer automatically when the new phone restores from an iCloud or Google backup. If one does not, or the customer switched platforms, resend the same install link and the current card adds in a tap.

Yes. A customer can add the same card to more than one device, say an iPhone and an iPad, and every points update pushes to all of them.

Yes. An Apple Wallet pass mirrors to a paired Apple Watch and updates with the phone, so a customer can scan at the till from their wrist. Keep the points balance in the front fields; the back and the strip image do not render on the Watch.

Cards ship with the Apple Wallet share button hidden (sharingProhibited), so a customer cannot hand the live pass to a friend. A screenshot is still possible, but the barcode resolves to one customer ID, so a shared image reads as the same person earning twice at the till.

Pro is $39 a month flat with 100,000 passes a month included (creations plus updates), then $0.00039 per pass beyond that. A cafe with 400 regulars pays about 10 cents per regular a month; a 10-location chain doing 150,000 creates and updates in its busiest month pays $58.50. One card covers both wallets and counts once, and revokes do not count.
