Pikarta turns one-time buyers into regulars. Create a loyalty card for your business — coffee shop, restaurant, beauty salon, bakery, or retail store — in 5 minutes. Your clients add the card to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet with a single tap. No app to download, no signup friction, no plastic cards to forget. — STAMPS ON THE CARD ITSELF — • Every stamp fills the next mark on the card your client already has in Wallet. • Choose the mark — a preset icon, an emoji, your own image or your logo — and the style it is printed in. • Put the reward on the last place, as an icon or a short line like "50%", so clients see what they are collecting for. • Nothing to re-issue: the card updates in the client's Wallet by itself. — FOUR LOYALTY MODELS — • STAMPS — punch-card classic. Buy 10, get the 11th free. • POINTS — collect points, redeem for rewards. Set the rate yourself. • CASHBACK — % from every purchase, accumulated as balance. Multi-currency. • DISCOUNT — flat % off for every cardholder. No counting, no tracking. — COUPONS — • Send a free item, a % or an amount off to all clients or a group, such as those who haven't visited in 30 days. • The coupon lands on their card in Wallet. Scan and redeem it in one tap. — YOUR TEAM — • A cashier signs in with a PIN and sees only the scanner and the client list. • A manager runs the business with you — analytics, the card, campaigns, clients — and you decide which of those with four switches. • Money stays yours: only the owner buys, restores or cancels the subscription. — SEVERAL LOCATIONS — • Up to 10 locations per card. • Find an address on the map and drag the pin to the exact door. • Clients get a lock-screen reminder when they pass by. — MARKETING KIT — • Story, post, table tent and stand card made from your card, with your QR code. • Save, share or print in one tap. — DESIGN THAT FITS YOUR BRAND — • Pick from preset colors, type any HEX color, or use your own background photo. • Upload your logo or pick an emoji. • See the card update live as you design. — DAILY USE — • Scan a client's barcode to add a stamp, register a visit, or redeem a reward. • Today screen shows visits, new clients, and rewards at a glance. • Real-time activity feed for every transaction. • Works on iPhone and iPad. — CLIENT LIST = MINI-CRM — • See every client, their progress, and last visit. • Filter by "near reward" or "haven't visited." • Search by name or phone. — ANALYTICS THAT GUIDE DECISIONS — • Visits, stamps given, rewards redeemed — by week, month, or lifetime. • Peak hours. • Repeat-customer trends. — SHARING — • Share an invitation link, generate a QR code, or use NFC. • Customers join in two taps and the card lands in their Wallet. — PIKARTA PREMIUM — • Every new business gets 30 days free, no payment needed. • After the trial, Pikarta Premium keeps your program running: new clients, stamps, rewards, coupons and campaigns. • Auto-renewable subscription: $99.99 per year or $12.99 per month, or the equivalent in your currency. • Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel it in your Account Settings. Built for small business owners, indie cafés, and growing chains who want the loyalty mechanics of big retailers without the complexity. Set up once — let the Wallet do the work.
