# Digital cards

Rewardly provides businesses with a simple yet powerful way to engage and retain customers through **Digital Loyalty Cards**. Our digital cards are designed to offer a modern alternative to traditional paper loyalty cards, enabling customers to collect stamps, track rewards, and receive personalized notifications – all directly from their smartphones.

### How Digital Loyalty Cards Work

1. **Easy Setup**: Businesses can create and customize their loyalty cards through the Rewardly platform. You can personalize the card design, set up rewards, and enable location-based notifications.
2. **Digital Stamps Collection**: Customers collect stamps for each eligible purchase at your business. Instead of manually stamping a paper card, they can scan a QR code or have their purchase automatically recorded, making it a seamless experience.
3. **Add to Mobile Wallets**: Rewardly’s digital cards are compatible with both **Google Wallet** and **Apple Wallet**. Once customers add the card to their wallet, they can easily access it from their device, just like a payment card or boarding pass. This convenience ensures the loyalty card is always available when they need it.
4. **Automated Notifications**: Rewardly’s digital loyalty cards offer location-based notifications. When a customer is near your store, they receive a prompt encouraging them to visit and earn another stamp, increasing the likelihood of repeat visits.

### Stamps-Based Loyalty Cards

One of Rewardly’s most popular digital card options is the **Stamps-Based Loyalty Card**, designed specifically for businesses that rely on recurring customer visits, such as cafes, restaurants, and barbershops.

#### How Stamps-Based Cards Work

* **Customized Rewards Structure**: Set a target number of stamps for customers to reach before earning a reward (e.g., "Buy 5 Coffees, Get 1 Free"). You can adjust the stamp count based on your business needs.
* **Visual Progress Tracking**: Customers see their progress on the card with visual stamps that fill in as they make qualifying purchases. This feature creates a sense of accomplishment and encourages customers to complete their card for the reward.
* **Real-Time Updates**: Each time a customer makes a purchase, their stamp count updates in real-time on their digital card, accessible in their mobile wallet. This transparency helps them stay engaged and track how close they are to their next reward.

### Benefits of Digital Loyalty Cards with Stamps

* **Increased Customer Engagement**: With an easy-to-access digital card and real-time progress tracking, customers feel motivated to complete their loyalty goals.
* **Enhanced Customer Retention**: Rewarding customers for their loyalty encourages them to return more frequently, increasing their lifetime value to your business.
* **Data-Driven Insights**: Rewardly provides analytics on customer interactions with your loyalty program, helping you understand purchasing patterns and tailor promotions to maximize engagement.
