# Overview

> The card types you can create, what each one does, and which is the right fit for your business.

When you create a card from scratch, the **Choose Your Card Type** screen offers **eight card types**.

The Choose Your Card Type screen

## 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. |

> [!NOTE]
>
> 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.

## Choosing a type

* Running a one-off promotion? Use a **Coupon**.
