The Fivestars alternative that fits a small budget.

Digital loyalty cards in Apple Wallet and Google Wallet, with no hardware to buy and a price built for a local business.

Fivestars is now part of SumUp, sold as SumUp Connect. Loyalia is a lighter option: your customers save a loyalty card to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, and your staff adds visits from any phone.

You get stamps, cashback, coupons and memberships, notifications to your customers' phones, and a 30-day free trial with no credit card — at a starting price built for a single coffee shop or salon.
