Loylap

LoyLap released its first offering in 2013; mobile apps for merchants that enabled them to scan a QR code on the customers’ LoyLap Member app and reward them with a digital stamp or digital points for each purchase. 

The app was well received, and although it was cumbersome and costly to have a second piece of hardware in conjunction with the POS, merchants saw the value it brought to their customers and business. They noted how customers much preferred to engage with a mobile loyalty system than get yet another physical loyalty card. This gave LoyLap the impetus to continue.
