Loyalty programs are currently undergoing a fundamental transformation. From an originally simple point-collection mechanism, they are becoming a strategic customer relationship management tool that directly impacts customer retention, loyalty, and lifetime value.

Digital loyalty cards stored in Apple Wallet and Google Wallet are the standard that customers naturally expect today. They are always at hand, without the need to install additional apps or rely on internet connectivity. They allow brands to build a deeper relationship with customers where they spend most of their time – on their mobile phones. It is precisely this combination of simplicity, availability, and high visibility that significantly increases customers' willingness to join the loyalty program. Moreover, the brand remains constantly visible, right next to the payment card.

What are the advantages of digital loyalty cards?

Higher retention and loyalty
Digital cards demonstrably increase customer engagement in loyalty programs. Thanks to their constant presence on the phone and easy access, customers actually use their cards – which directly contributes to repeat purchases and long-term loyalty.

Notifications directly to mobile
You can send segmented, location-based (geofencing), or bulk notifications directly to the phone's lock screen. This direct communication channel is not only economical but also highly effective. The customer receives a reminder at precisely the right moment when they need it.

Brand Always Visible
Your digital card is displayed in the wallet directly alongside payment cards, which customers open several times a day. This constant visibility strengthens brand awareness much more effectively than a plastic card forgotten somewhere in a wallet.

Real-time updates
The front and back of the card are always up-to-date and display changes instantly. The front is 100% customizable to your brand's design and can be updated at any time, e.g., according to seasonal offers. It also displays data such as the number of points, loyalty program status, or customer ID. The back of the card provides space for communicating current promotions, links to social media, opening hours, websites, or perhaps the current flyer.

Card Back as an Information Space 
The digital card offers a back side that you can use for important information – customer support contacts, links to terms and conditions, opening hours, or special offers. This space is always readily accessible and easily updatable.

Full CRM Integration Without Limitations
PassMachine is easily integrable into your existing CRM, POS, or CDP system thanks to its API.

Mobile App Integration and Support
If you have your own mobile app, PassMachine can deliver it to customers much more effectively. The cards contain deep links that direct users to open or download your app with a single click.

Security First

In an era where data is gold, its protection is crucial. PassMachine meets the strictest standards and complies with GDPR. You can be confident that your customers' information is secure.

Technology That Adapts to Your Business

The PassMachine platform is designed to adapt to how a business actually operates – whether it uses a CRM or no CRM system at all. Digital loyalty cards can be fully utilized independently, including customer segmentation, communication automation, and data tracking.

When connected to CRM systems such as Bloomrach, Salesforce, Klaviyo, or Meiro, the cards naturally become part of broader data management across marketing, loyalty, and customer support. This allows for effective content personalization, campaign automation, and customer experience management throughout the entire customer journey.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of a digital loyalty card over a plastic one for my business?

A digital card is not just a passive replacement for plastic, but an active marketing tool. For the business, it also means reduced costs for printing and distribution. The main benefit, however, is the possibility of two-way communication – you can send free notifications, update points or offers in real-time, and keep your brand constantly visible directly in the customer's mobile wallet.

I don't have a mobile app. How can digital cards help me?

This is one of the advantages of PassMachine digital cards. You can deploy them as a completely standalone solution. You gain a technically advanced tool for loyalty and retention without having to invest in developing and maintaining your own app. Customers simply save the card to their Apple or Google Wallet, which they already have on their phone.

I have a mobile app, how can I use digital cards?

If you have your own app, the digital card serves as a "quick ticket." Using deep links on the card, you can direct the customer with one click to download your app or open it directly. Digital cards thus increase the number of active users and app downloads.

Do my customers need to download a new app?

No, they don't. They just need to have Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, which are already pre-installed on their phones. The customer doesn't need to install anything; they just add the card with one click from an email, website, or via a QR code.

What is geofencing?

Geofencing is a technology that allows sending location-based notifications. As soon as a customer with your digital card on their phone approaches your store (e.g., within a 100-meter radius), a message automatically appears on their lock screen reminding them that they are nearby. This is a highly effective way to bring a customer from the street directly to the checkout.
