In their own words
Cuppacard
Cuppacard provides digital stamp-and-reward loyalty schemes for independent businesses, including coffee shops, bakeries, barbers, takeaways, and salons. Businesses choose stamp rules and rewards, then brand cards with their logo, colours, and wording. Customers can scan a QR code to add a card to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet without installing the Cuppacard app; this wallet option works worldwide and needs no hardware. UK venues can instead use the Cuppacard Tag: customers tap a phone to collect a stamp, with a push notification possible without staff action. The browser-based business dashboard reports stamps, redemptions, and returning customers. Businesses can send offers based on loyalty progress or inactivity; push notifications go to Cuppacard app users. The maker offers iOS and Android apps. The free plan allows up to 15 monthly active users. Cuppacard Plan costs £10 a month for up to 50 users, and Pro costs £20 a month for 51 or more, with unlimited users; both paid plans include a first month free.
