A fair look at what each product is built for.
your business already runs on Clover devices, your plan includes rewards, and points per dollar are the program you want.
you work with another cash register or none at all, you want a stamp card or cashback rather than points, or you want a loyalty card your customers keep in their phone’s wallet, starting on a free plan.
You can run BonusQR next to your current system while your customers move over.
Type your business name as it appears on Google Maps. BonusQR fills in the name, address and photo and creates a starter program you can change.
Add the stamp card, cashback or reward you run today, with the same goal, so regulars recognise it.
Print the free counter stand, sticker or flyer. Customers join from the QR code, and staff scan them with a phone or tablet.
What owners ask when they compare loyalty apps.
Yes. Clover Rewards lets customers join with a phone number or e-mail and earn points on later visits, by default 1 point per dollar, through receipt codes, the Clover app or a self check-in on a Clover Mini.
Clover says reward features are included in select service plans with no additional fee; its App Market listing names the Essentials and Growth plans and a $0.01 pay-per-action loyalty fee. BonusQR has a free plan with unlimited customers; Basic is 19 €/month and Premium 69 €/month.
Yes. BonusQR does not need a POS connection: customers show their BonusQR card and staff scan it with a phone or tablet next to the Clover device. An automatic link to a POS is possible through the BonusQR REST API as a custom project, quoted separately.
BonusQR has a free plan, free forever, with unlimited customers and 7 types of loyalty programs, including the stamp card, cashback and rewards for visits or spend.
Wallet cards were not mentioned on the Clover pages we could check. A BonusQR card can be saved to Apple Wallet and Google Wallet, or kept in the browser or the BonusQR app.
Set up BonusQR from your Google Maps listing, recreate the reward your regulars know, and print the free QR code stand for the counter. You can keep both running while customers join BonusQR by scanning the QR code.
