Most modern point-of-sale systems include some form of loyalty. Bundled loyalty has one real advantage that nothing else can match, and one structural cost that is easy to miss until you want to change either system.
| Wivly | POS-bundled loyalty | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Knows the basket value | Staff pick a spend tier at the till | Automatic, exact | Them |
| Steps at the counter | One extra scan | Usually part of the sale | Them |
| Setup | Design a card, print a poster | Already there if you have the POS | Them |
| If you change till provider | Nothing changes | The program usually goes with it | Wivly |
| Works across different tills | Yes; it is independent of the till | Only within that ecosystem | Wivly |
| Where the card lives | Apple / Google Wallet | Often a phone number or an email lookup | Wivly |
| Reaching customers between visits | Lock-screen offers, no phone number | Varies; often needs SMS or email consent | Wivly |
| Prepaid packages | Included from the paid plans | Varies by provider | Even |
| Cost | A separate monthly plan | Often bundled into what you already pay | Them |
Technically yes, but we would advise against it. Two programs at one counter confuses staff and customers, and the numbers from each become meaningless.
Not today. Wivly runs beside the till on any phone or tablet. If exact basket value is essential to your program, a bundled option is the honest recommendation.
You export your member list and visit history as a machine-readable file, any time while your account is open and for 30 days after it closes. That is in the Terms, not just a promise.
