A loyalty program that costs nothing to launch — but pays back in returning customers.
A free loyalty program lets any small business reward repeat customers without subscription fees or hardware costs. BonusQR's free plan gives you seven fully functional loyalty schemes — from stamp cards to cashback — along with Apple Wallet and Google Wallet integration, unlimited customer enrollment, and ready-to-print QR code marketing materials. Everything you need to launch and run a professional loyalty program is included at 0€.
Research shows that loyal customers generate 61% of small business revenue and spend 67% more per visit than new customers. With a free digital loyalty program, even a single-location café or salon can retain customers the way large chains do — without the enterprise price tag. BonusQR's free plan is genuinely unlimited: no cap on customers, no expiry, and no hidden upgrade pressure.

To set up your free loyalty program
Mix and match to build the perfect rewards program for your business — at zero cost.
Customers collect virtual stamps per purchase. When they hit your threshold, they earn a coupon or free item.
Customers earn a percentage of every purchase as credit toward future rewards. Simple and transparent.
Issue a coupon automatically every time a customer hits a spending threshold — great for boosting basket size.
A coupon after every N scans of a customer's QR code — perfect for driving repeat foot traffic to your location.
Reward customers the moment they join your loyalty program — a powerful first impression that turns sign-ups into return visits.
Segment your customers and give each group a fixed percentage off their entire bill — ideal for VIP customers and regulars.
Create any custom loyalty mechanic that fits your business — flexible enough for any industry or customer segment.

Start Free — No Card RequiredFrom cafés to gyms, the same free plan powers loyalty across every vertical.
Use stamp cards or cashback to turn morning regulars into daily habits. Customers scan at every order, earn a free coffee, and never want to go anywhere else.
40% more repeat visits on average
Reward diners with cashback on every bill. Higher cashback percentages for bigger tables incentivize group bookings and drive a 53% increase in average spend.
53% higher average spend per loyal visit
Run a visit-based reward — customers earn a free treatment after 8 visits. Reduces no-shows and builds predictable repeat bookings without discounting every service.
35% reduction in appointment no-shows
Give new members a welcome reward the moment they sign up — then use visit-based stamps to reward attendance milestones and keep them coming back past month one.
2× first-month member retention rate
Set a spend threshold — say €30 triggers a €5 reward. Customers naturally round up to hit the threshold, boosting your average order value on every visit.
27% increase in average basket size
BonusQR's free plan was built for owners who don't have IT teams. Pick a scheme, print your QR code, and you're live — with analytics, wallet integration, and full customer management included.
