How It Works
Card Issuance
Customers receive a digital Discount Card when they join your loyalty program.Discount Application
Each time the card is scanned or tapped, a percentage-based discount is applied instantly to the customer’s eligible purchase (e.g., 4%).Tier Progression (Optional)
If you enable the Tier Program, customers automatically upgrade to a new discount card (e.g., from Silver to Gold) once they reach a specified spend threshold (e.g., €500). The new card can offer a higher discount (e.g., 8%) and different design.This progression happens automatically in the background and can trigger a notification.
Real Example
🛍️ “Get 2% off instantly with your Bronze Discount Card — and 4% when you reach Silver Tier — and %8 when you reach Gold Tier!”
Customers who spend more unlock higher discount rates, driving repeat visits and increased customer loyalty.
