Add your first card
From a plastic card in your hand to a tile in your wallet takes less than a minute. This is the whole flow.
Show a card at the checkout
Tap the tile, hold up your phone, done. Here is what happens behind the scenes and what to do when a scanner is picky.
Add a card to your home screen
Put your most-used card one glance away. A ShowCards widget shows a barcode or a small grid right on your home screen, and a tap opens it full-size and ready to scan.
Show cards from your watch
Leave your phone in your pocket. ShowCards on Apple Watch and Wear OS keeps your barcodes on your wrist, ready at the till.
Share a card with family or friends
Send a household loyalty card to someone in seconds. They do not even need the app to see it.
How cloud sync works
Your cards follow you to every device signed in to your own private cloud, iCloud on iPhone, your Google account on Android. No account with us, nothing to configure.
