Digital loyalty cards for cafés
Vernos puts your loyalty card in your customers' phones. It lives in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, there is nothing to download, and you see who comes back.
How it works in your café
This is Vernos in one scroll: what your customer does, what you do, and what you see afterwards.
She walks in.
Maybe it is her first visit, maybe her fiftieth. Either way she does not need an app.
She scans the QR code on your counter.
Her phone camera does the rest.
Your card lands in her wallet.
Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, next to her cards and tickets.
You scan her pass and she gets a stamp.
Any phone or tablet works as your scanner.
Nine coffees later, the tenth is on you.
The card fills up and the reward is handed over.
You see her come back.
Your dashboard shows new customers, returning visits and rewards given.

Will I be charged automatically when the trial ends?
Yes. A credit card is required to start the trial. After 2 weeks you'll be charged automatically unless you cancel before the trial ends. You can cancel anytime from your account settings, with no penalties.
How do my customers get their loyalty card?
You share a QR code, printed, on your counter, or sent digitally. Customers scan it once with their phone camera and the card is added directly to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet. No account, no download.
Do my customers need to download an app?
No. Customers add the pass to the Apple or Google Wallet already on their phone. Nothing new to install.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes, from your account settings, with no penalties or cancellation fees. Your subscription stays active until the end of the billing period you already paid for.
What happens to my customers' cards if I cancel?
Their cards remain in their wallets but stop updating, so no new stamps can be added. Let your customers know before you cancel so they can redeem any outstanding rewards.
Is there a limit on how many customers or cards I can have?
No limits. Unlimited loyalty cards and scans are included in the flat monthly price, whether you have 10 customers or 10,000.
Do I need special hardware to scan cards?
No. Any smartphone or tablet with a camera and a browser works. Open your Vernos scanner page and point it at the customer's wallet pass.
