When Cardify fits

Launch quickly

Customers scan a QR and save the pass to the Wallet already on their phone.

Use three models

Stamps, prepaid visits and memberships under one subscription.

Keep costs predictable

Published monthly price, taxes included and no fee per stamp, visit or membership.

When to consider another solution

Another suite may fit better when you need a certified deep integration with a specific POS, highly customized enterprise rules, complex hierarchies across dozens of locations, or a program embedded inside your own consumer app. A useful comparison explains fit instead of claiming a universal winner.
