## Summary

Easy Loyalty moves the loyalty card into Apple Wallet or Google Wallet and lets coffee shops run it as a digital stamp card (one stamp per visit, a full card unlocks a reward) or as cashback (a percentage of every purchase lands on the pass instantly). No customer app; your barista scans the pass at the counter.

## Why coffee shops switch from paper

For coffee shops, a rushed morning queue is exactly when nobody can find a paper card. A wallet pass is always on the phone, updates itself, and every scan is recorded.

## Worked cashback example

A regular spends about $6 per visit and comes in 12 times a month. At 5% cashback:

- Earned per visit: $0.30
- Earned per year: $43
- Annual revenue the program protects: $864

Typical purchases: a flat white, a pastry with their coffee, a bag of beans to take home.

## Example lock-screen message

**Rainy-day treat** — Show your pass before 11am today for cashback on any hot drink.

## How to launch

1. Sign up and start the 14-day free trial — no credit card required.
2. Add your coffee shop name and logo, then choose stamps (e.g. 10 = a free item) or cashback (e.g. 5%).
3. Design the Apple Wallet and Google Wallet passes with the live preview.
4. Print the QR code for the counter, or share the sign-up link.
5. At checkout, your barista scans the pass; cashback or stamps are credited instantly.
6. Optional: send lock-screen messages or enable automations (win-back, birthday, reward ready).

## FAQ

### How much does an Apple Wallet loyalty program cost for a coffee shop?

A flat monthly subscription with a 14-day free trial — no per-customer fees, no developer, no agency. Apple Wallet certificates, Google Wallet issuer setup and push notifications are all handled for you.

### Do I need a developer or an Apple Developer account?

No. Easy Loyalty already holds the Apple and Google credentials required to sign passes. You fill in a form with your branding and cashback rate; passes are generated and signed for you.

### Do I need special hardware or a POS integration?

No. Your barista opens the dashboard on any phone or tablet, scans the customer's pass with the camera (or types the ID), and enters the amount spent. It runs alongside whatever till you use today — there is no POS integration to configure.

### Do my coffee shop customers need to download an app?

No. Apple Wallet and Google Wallet are already on every iPhone and Android phone. Customers open your link or scan a QR code, tap “Add”, and the pass sits next to their bank cards. Nothing to install, nothing to remember.

### Stamps or cashback — which should I choose?

Both are built in; you pick per location. A stamp card (e.g. 10 stamps = a free item) is simple and works when every visit is worth about the same. Cashback — many coffee shops start around 5% — scales with spend: when your barista records a $6 purchase, $0.30 lands on the pass to spend next time. You can switch later without reissuing passes.
