Do customers need to download an app for Loopy Loyalty?

No. Customers receive the loyalty card directly into Apple Wallet (iPhone) or Google Wallet (Android) — which are pre-installed on every phone. There is no separate Loopy Loyalty app for customers to download. This is the biggest advantage over traditional paper cards and app-based loyalty schemes: zero friction for the customer. You scan or tap, they get a stamp, and the card sits next to their debit card in their phone wallet.

Is Loopy Loyalty really free?

Yes. The Starter plan is free for up to 30 active members with unlimited stamp transactions and unlimited reward redemptions. The 30-member cap means it's free until you have 30 people actively using the card. After that, the Starter paid plan is $25/month for unlimited members. Most small businesses launching their first loyalty programme can validate the concept with 30 members before committing to a paid plan.

What is the difference between Loopy Loyalty and paper stamp cards?

Paper stamp cards are lost, forgotten, or faked. Digital loyalty cards live in the customer's phone wallet — always with them, can't be lost, can't be faked (each stamp is logged with time and location), and you can send push notifications directly to their lock screen for free. Digital cards also give you data: how many customers are active, who's close to a reward, redemption rates, and visit frequency. Paper cards give you none of this.

Can I use Loopy Loyalty without internet at the point of sale?

The stamping process requires an internet connection on the staff device (to send the stamp to Loopy Loyalty's server). However, the customer's phone does not need internet — the card in their Wallet updates when they next connect. For businesses in areas with unreliable internet, Loopy Loyalty's NFC stamper (a physical device, $79 one-time) works offline and syncs when reconnected.
