How card creation works

A few things that apply to every card type:

• Cards are created and edited on desktop. The card wizard and editor need a larger screen, so open them on a computer. On a phone you will be asked to switch to desktop.
• You get a live preview. As you set up the card in the middle of the screen, the panel on the right shows the card exactly as your customer will see it. Toggle Apple / Google to preview each wallet, and Front / Details to see both sides.
• The design is flexible. You can change a card’s look at any time after creating it. Updates apply to both existing cardholders and new ones, so the passes already in your customers’ wallets refresh automatically.

All card types at a glance

Card type	What it does	Best for
Stamp Card	Customers collect stamps and earn a reward once the card is full. Switch on Paid in advance and customers buy the stamps first, then use them up.	Cafés, bakeries, anything with a “buy several, get one free” pattern. With Paid in advance: prepaid packs, such as ten coffees bought up front.
Reward Card	Customers earn points and redeem them for products from your reward list.	Retail and hospitality where you want a rewards catalogue.
Cashback Card	Customers earn a percentage of every purchase back as credit in your currency. Use one rate, or two or more levels where the rate grows with total spend.	Programs where customers prefer money off over a fixed reward, and rewarding your biggest spenders with better rates.
Discount Card	A percentage discount that can be tiered based on how much a customer has spent.	VIP or member discounts that grow with loyalty.
Employee card	A staff discount in %, in levels that start at a spend amount, with an optional monthly limit. It starts again each month. Start from a template, for example a monthly credit.	Staff perks with a controlled monthly allowance.
Coupon	A single-use discount or offer.	Welcome offers, birthday treats, and win-back campaigns.
Gift Card	A prepaid balance that customers spend at checkout.	Selling gift cards for use in store.
Membership Card	A time-limited membership with benefits and validity windows.	Gyms, clubs, classes, and season passes.

Some types support extra features and some do not. Every type except the Gift Card and the Employee card has a public signup form. Referral bonuses are available on Stamp, Reward, Cashback, and Discount cards only.
