Rewa as an alternative to Loopy Loyalty
What Loopy Loyalty is and what it does well
Loopy Loyalty digitizes the stamp card as a wallet pass: the customer keeps it in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet without downloading a dedicated app, and the merchant stamps it by scanning from their phone. It is an elegant solution to the download problem, built by PassKit, specialists in wallet passes.
Card design is flexible and setup is fast: to digitize a punch card with the least possible friction on the customer's side, it is among the best in its category.
When to choose Loopy Loyalty
If you want exactly a digital stamp card (same mechanic as the punch card, polished look, no app), your product is high-frequency with even pricing, and you value a team that specializes in wallet passes, Loopy Loyalty solves that well and at a price that works for a single location.
When to choose Rewa
With Loopy Loyalty the comparison is closer than with other tools. Rewa also puts the stamp card in Apple Wallet and Google Wallet, with no app and with the store's color and logo, and the cashier also scans the pass. For a customer collecting stamps, the two products feel alike.
The differences are around the card. In Rewa you can choose points instead of stamps: each purchase earns by amount and the customer spends them on a rewards menu, with batches that expire and a page where they see what expires and when. Stamps can be earned per visit or every time the customer spends a set amount. If a customer shows up without their phone, the cashier finds them by phone number. And your team gets roles: the operator only scans cards.

Frequently asked questions
If both use the phone's wallet, how are they different?
With stamps, the customer experience is similar: they save the pass and show it at checkout. Rewa adds two things around it. You can use points redeemed from a rewards menu instead of stamps, and the cashier can look a customer up by phone number when they arrive without their phone or with a dead battery.
Can I have points per spend in Loopy Loyalty?
Its core mechanic is the stamp per visit, with that simplicity as a virtue. If you need the customer who spends twice as much to move faster, Rewa handles it in two ways: stamps every time the customer spends a set amount, or points by purchase amount that the customer redeems from a rewards menu.
How does the customer know they earned something?
In Rewa the pass gets a lock-screen notification with every stamp. On the Pro plan you can also send reminders and promotions to the pass.
