Loyalty Cards for Independent Businesses

ReturnKit gives independent businesses a digital loyalty card in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet — the same retention tools big chains use, made simple and affordable. Customers scan a QR code, tap to add the card, and you can send push notifications, birthday rewards, and win-back campaigns to bring locals back, with no app download and no marketing team required.

Why independents need loyalty tools

Starting from £49.99/month per venue/business, with a free trial so you can see results before you commit.

Frequently asked questions

What is a loyalty card for independent businesses?

ReturnKit gives independent businesses a digital loyalty card in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet — the same retention tools big chains use, made simple and affordable. Customers scan a QR code, tap to add the card, and you can send push notifications, birthday rewards, and win-back campaigns to bring locals back, with no app download and no marketing team required.

Do my customers need to download an app?

No. Your customers never download an app. They scan your QR code and tap once to add your branded card to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, which takes under 30 seconds. That is why ReturnKit businesses typically see 80%+ of customers join, compared with 15–20% for loyalty schemes that ask for a download.

ReturnKit starts at £49.99 per month per venue and includes unlimited customers and unlimited messages, with no per-message cost, no commission and no setup fee. Every plan begins with a 14-day free trial and no credit card is required.

How long does setup take?

It is done for you. We build your branded wallet card and QR code poster and take you through a training call, so most businesses are live and collecting sign-ups within 24 hours, with monthly performance reports and 7-days-a-week support.

Do loyalty cards actually bring independent businesses customers back?

Big chains have dedicated apps and loyalty teams. Independent shops, cafes, and salons have mostly relied on walk-ins and word of mouth. ReturnKit levels the playing field with enterprise loyalty tech at a local-business price.
