The reality
The paper punch card is done
On paper, "buy 10 get 1 free" is a great idea. In practice the card ends up in another jacket — and you learn nothing from it.
The punch card
- Customers lose it, forget it or bin it
- Reprint every time the offer changes
- No data: you have no idea who comes back
- A stamp is forged in two seconds
- No way to remind the customer
The QRia.me card
- It lives in the phone — and can be recovered
- Reward editable without touching the QR
- First name + contact land in your dashboard
- Every stamp is validated by you (or timestamped)
- Push notification when the reward gets close
The customer journey
Four steps, zero friction
-
1
The customer scans
At the counter, on the table or in the window. The card opens straight in their browser, on iOS and Android.
-
2
Card created in 10s
A first name, an email or a mobile. No account to create, no app store, no download.
-
3
They collect stamps
Progress animates on every visit. They can add the card to Google Wallet or their home screen.
-
4
They unlock the reward
At each tier a unique voucher code appears. You validate it in store and the counter starts over.
You stay in control
Two ways to add a stamp
Pick the one that matches how you work — and switch whenever you like.
Merchant validation
You scan the QR code on the customer's card from your QRia.me dashboard and the stamp is added. One stamp = one real visit, validated by you. Ideal when loyalty carries real value: restaurants, salons, services.
Self-service
The customer scans your store QR themselves and earns their stamp automatically. An anti-abuse cooldown you set prevents stacking several stamps in a row.
Either way, the tier can never be overshot: once the reward is reached, the counter waits for your validation before starting over.
What you get
Far more than a card to punch
Intermediate tiers
Don't reward only on the last stamp: a coffee on the 3rd, a dessert on the 6th. Each tier unlocks a unique voucher code, valid for 24h.
Google Wallet
One tap and the card joins the customer's Android Wallet. The stamp balance updates there automatically after every visit.
Push notifications
With their consent, customers are notified as soon as they earn a stamp or get close to the reward. A reminder that brings them back, with no ad budget.
Recoverable card
New phone, cleared browser? The customer enters their email or mobile and gets their stamps back. Never again "I lost my card".
Dynamic QR code
Program name, reward, number of stamps: everything is edited from your dashboard. The QR displayed in store never changes.
Your branding
Your logo, your name, your contact details and links. It's your brand in the customer's pocket, not a third party's.
Customers finally identified
Every card created sends a first name and a contact to your dashboard. You know who comes back, and how often.
Print-ready labels
QRia generates high-definition labels and table tents, ready for your counter, tables or window.
Cycles & expiry
Set a cycle end date and what happens to stamps — reset or keep. Your program stays under control.
Your business, in your customers' pocket
The card doesn't sit in a drawer: it lives in the Wallet and speaks up at the right moment.
Added to Google Wallet
One button and the card joins the Android Wallet — with your logo and a stamp balance that syncs automatically.
A notification at the right time
Stamp earned, reward almost reached, voucher about to expire: the customer gets a discreet reminder on their screen.
On the home screen
The card installs like a mini-app with your icon. One tap and it's there — no store, no updates.

Frequently asked questions
Do customers need an app to use the loyalty card?
No. Everything runs in the phone browser, on iOS and Android: customers only need their camera. They can then add the card to Google Wallet or their home screen if they want — but nothing is mandatory.
What happens if a customer changes phone?
They enter the email or mobile used at sign-up and receive a recovery link. They get their card and all their stamps back. That is exactly the advantage over paper.
How do I add a stamp to a customer?
Two modes. Either you scan the QR code on the customer's card from your QRia.me dashboard — one stamp = one visit validated by you. Or you enable self-service: the customer scans your store QR, with an anti-abuse delay you set.
How do I stop someone stamping ten times in a row?
In self-service, an adjustable cooldown limits it to one stamp per period: further scans are refused. In merchant-validation mode, no stamp exists without your scan. And in both cases the counter never goes past a tier without your validation.
Can I reward before the final tier?
Yes. Intermediate tiers let you give something on the 3rd or 6th stamp, on top of the final reward. Each tier reached generates a unique voucher code, valid for 24 hours, which you validate in store.
Do I need to reprint my QR code if I change the reward?
No. The QRia QR code is dynamic: program name, reward and number of stamps are edited from your dashboard. The QR already stuck on your counter stays valid forever.
Is the program GDPR-compliant?
Yes. Consent is collected and timestamped when the card is created, with a clear split between card management (required) and marketing offers (optional). The information notice and privacy policy are displayed, and customers can request erasure at any time.
Is the loyalty card included in my plan?
The loyalty program is included from the Pro plan up. Every new account starts with a 14-day trial on Pro features, so you can launch your program and test it in real conditions before choosing. See the pricing page for details.
