You choose the reward.
Aster does the counting.
Aster does not build your loyalty program: you do. Your customers scan a QR code, their card opens right in their browser, nothing to install. You run everything from your phone.

Loyalty card
Aster decides nothing for you.
This is the most common misunderstanding, so let us clear it up right away. Your loyalty program stays yours, from the first decision to the last.
You decide
- The reward you offer, and what it is worth
- How many visits it takes to earn it
- The type of program
- Your prices, your sales, your register
- The wording of your promotions and their dates
Aster handles
- Counting visits, with no card left behind
- Showing the card in the customer's browser
- Adding it to Google Wallet or Apple Wallet
- Keeping the counter up to date in real time
- Showing you your numbers
Paper cards get lost. Every time.
You hand one over, the customer tucks it away, and it disappears. Your loyalty program with it.
Forgotten or lost
At the bottom of a wallet, in a coat pocket, in the bin. The customer never has it at the right moment, and the visit goes uncounted.
No data at all
How many customers come back? Which ones dropped off? Cardboard will never tell you. You are running blind.
Costly and disposable
Reprinted endlessly, stamped by hand, replaced when lost. A recurring cost for a tool nobody keeps.
Simple on both sides of the counter.
You have an app. Your customer has none.
Everything runs from the app
- Create your program in 2 minutes. Number of stamps, reward, business name, done.
- Display your QR code at the counter. Printed or on a screen, it is the way in.
- Scan, count, reward. One scan per visit and the stamp lands instantly.
- Follow your numbers. Dashboard, statistics and customer list, always current.
Nothing to install, ever
- They scan your QR code. With the phone camera, the way they already do.
- They enter a first name and phone number. Ten seconds, no password, no account.
- Their card opens in the browser. Always there, with their stamps and next reward.
- They add it to their wallet. Google Wallet or Apple Wallet, stamps updated live.
One program type per business model.
Pick the one that matches how your customers actually buy from you.
Free offer
The stamp card. At the threshold you set, the reward is granted and the counter resets.
Often chosen by coffee shops, bakeries and restaurants.
Points
Customers collect points. You decide when to grant a reward and what it costs.
Useful when the amount spent varies a lot from visit to visit.
Session pass
The customer buys a block up front. Aster counts one session down per visit.
Often chosen by car washes, spas and studios.
Time pass
The customer pays for a period. Aster checks validity on every visit.
Often chosen for unlimited access, as in a gym.
You do not sell like the shop next door.
The right program depends on how you charge. Here are the three most common cases.
Coffee shop and restaurant
The stamp card, tenth coffee free. The simplest program to launch, and the one that needs no explaining.
See the coffee shop page
Hair salon and barber
Prepaid cuts in blocks, or a stamp card. Two formats, depending on whether you charge up front or per visit.
See the salon page
Car wash and garage
Blocks of washes sold up front, or unlimited access for a period. Aster counts down and stops when the balance runs out.
See the car wash page
Aster speaks your customers' language.
The card appears in French, English or Spanish, following the language of your customer's phone. Nothing to configure, nothing to translate.
Simple prices, like everything else.

It started with a card I lost at the barber.
I had nine cuts out of ten. I lost the card. I started over from zero.
My name is Ben Schalom KAMGA, I live in Victoriaville and I built Aster so that would stop happening. Not to me, not to your customers, and not to you, who lose a visit every time a card goes missing.
