Cards get lost all the time
When customers lose their card, they lose progress. Most will not restart from zero, so repeat visits drop.

Paper card problems
Why paper punch cards fail
Manual stamping is easy to abuse
Paper workflows make it hard to prevent fake punches and unauthorized redemptions, especially during busy periods.
No reminders, no data
Paper gives you no way to re-engage customers or measure loyalty performance by visit and redemption behavior.
How to upgrade from paper in one day
Keep the simplicity of punch cards, but make everything digital and trackable.
Step 1
Create your digital punch card
Set your reward rule and print a QR poster. Most businesses finish setup in about 10 minutes.
Step 2
Scan and stamp at checkout
Customers scan the QR with their camera. Staff verify every stamp with a secure 4-digit PIN.
Step 3
Bring customers back automatically
Automated reminders replace guesswork and help convert occasional buyers into regulars.

What you gain over paper punch cards
More control, better customer retention, and clear visibility into what is working.
Fraud protection built in
Staff PIN checks and velocity limits make it much harder to game your reward program than with paper cards.
No more lost-card frustration
Customer progress is stored digitally, so repeat buyers keep their loyalty history even if they change phones.
Automatic reminders
Bring customers back with "1 stamp away" and expiring-stamp notifications that paper programs cannot do.

Track visits, redemptions, and top customers so you can improve reward performance month after month.
