Passcard in the United KingdomCoffee shop loyalty card that fits in your regulars' phones
Short answer: A coffee shop loyalty card rewards regulars with a free drink after a set number of visits, and with Passcard it lives in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet. Customers scan a QR code once, then you add a stamp with a single scan at the till.
Create your cardRegulars are your business, and they have options
A coffee shop runs on people who come in three or four times a week. The next coffee shop is usually one street away, and what tips a morning decision is often small: a friendly face, a faster queue, a reward that is almost within reach.
A loyalty card makes that reward visible. The catch for a busy counter is speed: if stamping takes more than a moment, the queue pays for it. That is why a coffee shop card needs to work with a single scan.
How a coffee shop loyalty card works with Passcard
1
Set up your card
Your logo, your colours, your reward and the number of boxes. A few minutes, no design skills needed.
2
Put the QR code by the till
Regulars scan it once while their drink is being made. The card goes into Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, with no app to install.
3
Stamp with one scan
Scan their card from your Passcard account. The stamp lands on their phone at once, and the free drink unlocks on its own when the card is full.
How many stamps for a coffee shop card?
We recommend 10 boxes. Regulars visit often, so the card fills in a few weeks, which is short enough to stay exciting. The reward is usually the last box, like a free drink on the tenth.
Reward ideas for a coffee shop
Keep the reward simple so staff can explain it in one sentence:
- Buy nine, get the tenth free
- A free flat white after 9 coffees
- A free slice of cake with your 10th drink
- A free size upgrade on the 10th coffee

Frequently asked questions
What is a good coffee shop loyalty program?
A simple one: a stamp for each drink and a free drink when the card is full. A stamp card is easy to explain at the till, and a wallet card means regulars always have it on them.
How many stamps should a coffee shop card have?
We recommend 10 boxes. It fills in a few weeks for a regular, which keeps the reward within reach.
Will it slow down my queue?
Stamping is one scan of the customer's card from your phone. There is no typing and no lookup, and the stamp shows on their card right away.
Can staff stamp a card twice by mistake?
A short pause between two stamps on the same card stops accidental double stamps, so a quick second scan during a busy rush does not count twice.
Do my customers need an app?
No. They scan your QR code and the card goes into Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, which are already on their phone.
How much does a coffee shop loyalty card cost?
One plan, £19 a month or £190 a year, excluding VAT. It includes unlimited customers and cards. Your customers never pay.
