Step-by-Step: Your First Loyalty Card

1) Open the Onboarding Wizard

Click Get Started on the intro screen.
If you don’t see it, enter your email to receive a link that opens the same wizard.

2) Business Basics

Business name: as you want it to appear on the Wallet card.
Location: allows the card to surface when customers are at your store (helpful at checkout).
Logo: 300 × 300 px (required). PNG with transparent background works best.
Brand color: background color of the card. If unsure, use white for a clean look.

Tip: Test your logo on both light and dark device modes. High-contrast marks look best.

3) Choose Your Card Type

Pick what fits your program today (you can create more later):

Stamp Card – e.g., “Buy 5 coffees, get 1 free.”
- Choose a template (e.g., Coffee).
- Select stamps required (e.g., 5). The reward stamp appears as a golden icon on the final one.
Coupon / Free Gift – single-use promos or launch offers to grow installs.
Points / Dollar Value / Membership – for more flexible programs (if enabled on your account).

Why start with stamp cards? They’re familiar to staff/customers and super fast to roll out.

What customers see after scanning your QR:

Title, description, and visuals (pre-filled from your last step—edit anytime).
Fields to collect:
- Name (recommended)
- Email (recommended so you can communicate)
- Phone (optional)
Save and continue.

Good practice: Offer a small incentive (e.g., “Free welcome stamp today”) to boost add-rates.

The wizard shows your QR code and signup link.
Test it: pull out your phone, scan the QR, and add the card to your Wallet.
Share it: print the QR for your counter, add the link to receipts, menus, or your website/Instagram Link-in-bio.
