Active Reward Programs
A smarter way to retain customers — built for local businesses.
Online reward programs are digital loyalty systems that incentivize customers to return to your business by offering points, stamps, cashback, or exclusive perks for each purchase or visit. Unlike traditional paper punch cards, online reward programs run in the cloud — customers join via a QR code scan, track their progress directly in their phone's wallet, and redeem rewards automatically when thresholds are hit.
For small businesses, the real power is in the automation. BonusQR removes the friction that kills most loyalty programs: no app to download, no POS swap, no staff training required. A customer scans once, joins instantly, and your reward system takes care of the rest — triggering birthday bonuses, win-back campaigns, and milestone alerts without any manual work on your part.

Reward modules to mix & match
Match the right reward mechanic to your business model and customer behaviour.
Customers earn points for every dollar spent. Points accumulate and unlock discounts, free items, or cashback when thresholds are reached.
The digital evolution of the paper punch card. Every visit or purchase earns a stamp; collect enough and unlock a reward. Simple, visual, and highly effective.
A percentage of every purchase comes back as wallet credit. Customers see real monetary value — one of the highest-converting reward types.
Reward your best customers with escalating cashback rates. The more they spend, the more they earn — driving premium segment loyalty.
Incentivize frequency, not just spend. After a set number of visits, customers unlock a surprise reward — ideal for cafés, salons, and service businesses.
Automated birthday, anniversary, and seasonal bonuses. Personalization at scale — customers feel seen without extra work from you.
Four steps from setup to your first loyal repeat customer.
Choose your reward type — stamps, points, cashback, or tiers. Set your thresholds and customize with your brand colors. Done in under 5 minutes.
Print your unique QR code on receipts, counters, table tents, or social posts. Customers scan once to join — no friction.
Each visit or purchase automatically adds stamps or points to their digital card — saved in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, no app needed.
When a threshold is hit, the reward triggers automatically. Customers return to redeem — closing the loyalty loop and building the habit of return.
Mix and match to build the perfect online reward program for your business.
Virtual stamps per purchase → reach the threshold → coupon or free item.
Points per spend amount → accumulate → redeem for set coupons.
Percentage credit returned on every purchase, saved as wallet balance.
Escalating cashback rates based on cumulative spend tiers — premium loyalty built in.
Coupon issued every time a customer hits a spending threshold — encourages bigger baskets.

Your customers never need to download anything. Their loyalty card lives in the wallet they already use every day.
The biggest reason loyalty programs fail isn't the reward design — it's the friction at sign-up. Asking a customer to download a dedicated app creates a barrier that stops 60–70% of interested shoppers before they ever earn their first stamp. BonusQR eliminates that barrier entirely. Customers join your online reward program by scanning a QR code once; their loyalty card is instantly saved to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet — apps that are already on every modern smartphone, require no new download, and are checked multiple times per day.
The math of friction is unforgiving for small businesses competing with limited marketing budgets. Every extra step you put between a customer and their loyalty card costs you sign-ups. Wallet-native loyalty cards — the kind BonusQR issues — sit on the home screen of a customer's phone, update in real time as stamps are earned, and push notifications when a reward is ready to redeem. This visibility keeps your business top-of-mind between visits without any action needed from you.
For business owners, 'online' means your reward program is always accessible — managed from any browser, updated instantly across all active customer cards with a single dashboard action. No visiting the POS terminal to tweak a reward, no reissuing physical cards when a promotion changes. When you run a double-points weekend or a flash birthday campaign, every enrolled customer's wallet card reflects the new rule within minutes.
Learn About Wallet IntegrationCustomers save loyalty cards to their native phone wallet. No login, no password, no friction — just tap to add.
A single QR scan is all it takes. Post it on your counter, receipt, social media, or window — customers join in under 10 seconds.
When a customer earns a stamp or reaches a tier, their wallet card updates in real time — visible even without internet.
See why digital wins on every dimension that matters for small businesses.
