How It Works

A step-by-step guide for merchants and customers.

LoyalStash connects merchants and customers through a simple QR code system. Merchants create digital loyalty cards, customers collect stamps, and rewards are redeemed — all without paper. Here's exactly how it works for each side.

For Merchants

1

Sign Up

Create your free account on the LoyalStash website or merchant app. Enter your business name, category, address, and operating hours.

2

Create Your Loyalty Card

Design your card with your shop name, logo, and background image. Choose your reward rule — either “Buy X, Get Y Free” or a spend-based stamp program.

3

Display Your QR Code

Once your card is live, a unique QR code is generated for your shop. Print it and place it at your counter, on your menu, or in your window. Customers scan this code to add your loyalty card to their app.

4

Scan Customers to Issue Stamps

When a customer makes a purchase, they show you their QR code in the LoyalStash app. Open the merchant app, scan their code, and their stamp is recorded instantly. When they've collected enough stamps, you can issue the reward right from the app.

5

Track Your Results

Monitor your loyalty program with real-time analytics — active customers, stamps collected, rewards redeemed, and scan history. Available on both the web dashboard and mobile app.

For Customers

1

Download the App

Get the free LoyalStash app from the App Store or Google Play. Create your account with email, Google, Apple, or Facebook.

2

Scan a Merchant's QR Code

When you visit a participating shop, scan their QR code to add their loyalty card to your collection. You can also browse nearby shops in the app to discover new programs.

3

Show Your QR Code to Collect Stamps

When you make a purchase, open your QR code in the app and show it to the merchant. They scan it with their merchant app to record your stamp. It takes just a second.

4

Track Your Progress

See all your loyalty cards in one place. Each card shows how many stamps you've collected and how many you need for your next reward.

5

Redeem Your Rewards

When you've collected enough stamps, the merchant can issue your reward directly through the app. Whether it's a free coffee, a discount, or a special offer — it's all tracked digitally.

Two QR Codes, One Simple Flow

LoyalStash uses two different QR codes to keep things clear:

Merchant's QR Code

Displayed at the shop. Customers scan this once to add the merchant's loyalty card to their app.

Customer's QR Code

Shown at checkout. The merchant scans this each visit to issue stamps or redeem rewards.

It takes seconds to start — for both sides.
