Spend-based loyalty program

What is a spend-based loyalty program?

A spend-based loyalty program rewards customers for how much they spend, not just how often they come. You set a target amount, and once a customer’s purchases add up to it, they automatically receive a reward coupon.

In BonusQR this program is called Reward for Spend. Staff scan the customer’s loyalty QR code and type in the bill amount – that’s all. The amount is added to the customer’s total, the loyalty card shows how much is left to the next reward, and the coupon appears in the customer’s account as soon as the target is reached.

  • Spending adds up across visits – small and large purchases both count
  • Anything spent over the target carries over toward the next reward
  • Part of the Free plan and works with any cash register

Why reward customers for what they spend

A spending target gives every purchase a purpose and gives customers a reason to choose you next time.

Every purchase counts

Customers see their total grow with each bill, so even a quick purchase brings them closer to the reward.

A reason to come back

When the next reward is within reach, customers have a good reason to make their next purchase with you rather than elsewhere.

Fair to every customer

The reward follows the money spent, so customers who spend more reach it sooner – without levels or rules to manage.

Nothing to explain at the till

Staff scan the QR code and enter the amount. BonusQR keeps the total and issues the coupon automatically.

A reward you choose

Set the target amount, the reward, how long the coupon stays valid and a short note for your customers.

Clear progress for customers

The loyalty card shows how much has been spent and how much is left, and every new coupon also arrives by e-mail.

Frequently asked questions about Reward for Spend

What business owners most often ask before they start.

You choose a target amount and a reward. At every purchase, staff scan the customer’s QR code and enter the bill amount. When the customer’s total reaches the target, BonusQR issues the reward coupon automatically and the count continues with whatever was spent over the target.

The customer can receive several coupons at once and the remaining amount carries over toward the next reward. As a safeguard, the scanner asks staff to check an amount that would give more than 10 coupons.

No. Staff type the bill amount after scanning the customer’s QR code, so it works with any cash register. A connection to your POS system is optional.

Anything you like – a free product, a discount or a small gift. The reward is a digital coupon with its own QR code; you choose its name, how long it stays valid and an optional note. Staff redeem it by scanning the coupon.

Yes. One offer can combine several programs, for example Reward for Spend with a fixed discount or a welcome coupon. The bill amount entered once also counts for cashback or points if they are part of the same offer.

Reward for Spend is part of the Free plan, which includes 7 program types. Basic adds 2 more and Premium another 3, for 12 program types in total.
