What VirtualCards is

VirtualCards pairs a consumer loyalty-card wallet with tools for merchants to run loyalty programs and campaigns. Consumers can add cards by scanning a plastic card’s barcode, uploading a screenshot, or entering details, then show the saved barcode or code at checkout. Saved cards work offline; offers appear after the app synchronizes online. The app is available on Android, iOS, and the web. Merchants can build programs around points, stamps, offers, coupons, tiers, and rewards, and use push notifications, campaigns, direct messages, geo-targeting, and customer feedback. Its dashboard reports active customers, purchase frequency, reward use, and campaign performance. Merchant promotions may appear in the app and on the website, where users can discover brands, offers, and rewards. The maker lists horeca, beauty, retail, fitness, and clothing and accessories among merchant sectors. The Free plan allows up to 50 cards, one offer and one push notification per month, one location, and basic statistics; it excludes coupons and multi-user access. Paid plans are €50 a month for Starter and €99 a month for Business. Displayed merchant plan prices exclude VAT, which is added at checkout based on country and VAT-payer status.
