How digital loyalty cards work

2026-01-151 min readBy Passinstance Team

Digital loyalty cards live in the wallet and update when customers interact with your business.

Installation

Customers add the card from a link or QR code. No separate loyalty app is required.

Earning

Scans or integrated POS events update stamps or points on the pass in near real time.

Rewards

Completed stamp cards or point thresholds unlock rewards shown on the pass itself.

Retention

Notifications and geofencing keep the program visible between visits.
