Location-based reminders
A nudge when guests are nearby
The best time to remind a guest about their card is when they are around the corner. Wallet can surface the card on the lock screen when your guest is near your store.
Why it matters
Location-based reminders
When guests are nearby, they can receive an automatic reminder, making it easier for them to stop by, collect stamps or redeem a reward.
- Add your locations to the pass so Wallet can show it nearby.
- Turn “I forgot I had that card” into a spontaneous visit.
- Timing is handled by Apple and Google Wallet, with no background tracking by stmpr.
How this compares
A reminder shaped by place
The useful moment is not when a campaign is sent, but when the guest is near the business.
| Area | Common workaround | stmpr |
|---|---|---|
| Timing | A scheduled post or email arrives regardless of where the guest is. | Wallet may surface the saved card when the guest is near a configured location. |
| Privacy | Marketing apps may ask for persistent background location access. | Apple and Google control on-device relevance; stmpr does not track the guest in the background. |
| Maintenance | Every location needs another manually scheduled campaign. | The configured pass locations stay attached to the loyalty card. |
