A fair look at what each product is built for.
your sales happen mainly in an online store, you already use Yotpo for reviews, and pricing by monthly orders suits your volume.
customers come to your shop, café or salon, you want them to collect stamps, cashback or visits at the counter with a card in their wallet, and you may connect a WooCommerce or Shopify store later on a paid 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.
