The paper punch card,
grown up.
Instead of a slip that crumples in a wallet and gets forgotten, Smartick gives your business a real loyalty card in Apple Wallet and Google Wallet. Points, stamps, tiers, referrals and push — all in one place, live in minutes. No app to download, no developer account, no engineer.
Works for every local business
73% of punch cards lose the customer along the way.
Not because customers don't want to come back — but because the paper card simply vanishes. It crumples in a wallet, stays in the jeans that went through the wash, or gets tossed by mistake. And the moment it's gone, so is the relationship. You don't know who the customer is, you have no way to remind them to return, and no idea how much they're really worth to you.
Paper card
- Gets lost and torn
- No way to send a reminder or promo
- Zero customer data
- Every branch = its own pile of cards
- Easy to fake stamps
A card in the digital wallet
- Always on the phone — never lost
- Push that reminds at the right moment
- Full data on every customer
- All branches synced automatically
- Secure accrual, no gaming
From idea to the first card in a wallet — in minutes.
This isn't a tech project. You set up a club, print a code, and your customers do the rest. Here's the whole journey — tap a step to see how the card updates.
Everything a loyalty program needs — included.
What competitors scatter across products and paid add-ons, we simply include. No per-order fee, no per-location surcharge.
One program, two ways to earn.
Want a classic points program? Set an accrual rate (say 10% — every $100 is 10 points) and customers earn on every purchase. Prefer the classic stamp card? "Buy 9, the 10th is on us." Or have both, on the same card. You set the rules, we keep everything up to date automatically.
Your best customers feel it. And each one brings more.
Membership tiers (Silver, Gold, Platinum) update automatically by spend and unlock perks — so your regulars get the VIP treatment without you tracking it by hand. And referrals drive growth: a customer shares a code, a friend joins — but the bonus only pays out after a real purchase, so the system can't be gamed.
The one message that always gets read — because it's on the lock screen.
Send a promo, an update or a birthday greeting — straight to the customer's lock screen, without fighting any social network's algorithm. And with geofence, the card pops up on its own when the customer reaches the store area. A gentle nudge exactly when they're closest to walking in.
Finally, you know who your customers are.
One dashboard that brings it all together: how many members you have, who's active and who's gone quiet, balances, tiers and purchase history. Want to send a promo only to those who haven't bought in a month? Or only customers above 500 points? Build an audience in a few clicks and send — from the browser or your phone.
Whether you're a café or a salon — it feels like yours.
The card wears your business's colors, logo and language. Pick a business type and see a live example:
Coffee Shop
A stamp card branded for Coffee Shop: every purchase = a stamp, and on reaching the goal — 10th coffee free. Just like the old punch card, only it never gets lost and reminds the customer on its own.

Within three months our regulars' return rate nearly doubled. They just get the card on their phone, get a reminder right as they pass by — and come back.
The technical side? Already handled.
Apple Wallet cards require a digital signature and a developer account — we sign the cards centrally, so you need none of that. It's all secure, customer data stays yours alone, and the whole interface is available in full Hebrew with RTL — including the card and the notifications.
Start free. Upgrade as you grow.
No per-order fee, no per-location surcharge, no surprises at month's end. The free plan includes a real wallet card and up to 100 members — and stays free.
Every plan includes a real wallet card, points, stamps, tiers, referrals, push and geofence. The difference is volume — not value.
Frequently asked questions
Do customers need to download an app?+
No, and that's the beauty of it. The card goes straight into Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, already installed on every phone. The customer scans a QR, confirms, and it's in their pocket — in seconds, no app store and no storage space.
Do I need an Apple developer account?+
No. Apple Wallet cards require a digital signature, and we sign them centrally for you. You just set a name, color and logo — and the card is ready. No technical setup on your end.
How long does setup really take?+
Minutes. Open a club, match the design to your brand colors, and print a QR for the counter. From signing up to the first card in a customer's wallet — you can do it over one coffee break.
How is it different from a paper punch card?+
Entirely. The digital card never gets lost, updates automatically after each purchase, sends lock-screen push reminders, pops up when the customer is near the store, and gives you full data — who your customers are, what they're worth, and who's about to churn.
Can I really start for free?+
Yes. The free plan includes a real wallet card, points, stamps, tiers, referrals, push and geofence — up to 100 members. Upgrade only as the club grows, and even then the price is fixed and clear, with no hidden fees.
Does it work for a business with multiple branches?+
Absolutely. All branches share the same club and the same customers, accrual syncs automatically, and every cashier can add points or stamps from their phone. No separate piles of cards per branch.
And it's in Hebrew?+
Fully. The interface, the wallet card, the notifications and the entire customer experience — all in Hebrew with built-in RTL from day one. English is available too.
