Overview

Retailers use Passinstance to move loyalty off plastic cards and crowded apps into the wallet. Points and tier status update on each purchase, and offers sit next to the card where shoppers will see them.

Use relevant locations and scheduled notifications to bring shoppers back to the store, and track installs and redemptions to see what is working.
