Frequently asked questions

Everything merchants want to know before getting started. Question missing? Write to us.

Getting started

What you should know before you begin.

How long does setup take?+

Under 10 minutes. Create an account, define your reward (“10 stamps = 1 free coffee”), upload your logo, print the ready-made QR poster and hang it in your shop. We guide you through a 3-step assistant.

Do I need extra hardware?+

No. A smartphone or tablet at the till is enough — the scanner app runs in the browser (works offline after the first load, too). If you use a POS system like Lightspeed or Orderbird, you can connect it via Kassen-Connect and stamp automatically without any tablet.

How do my regulars get the card?+

You print a QR poster from the dashboard. The customer scans it with their camera, taps “Add to Wallet” once and has the card. No app installation, no signup, no mandatory email.

Can I also send the pass to customers directly?+

Yes. By email, WhatsApp or QR code in your shop. Every pass has a unique save URL you can share.

Pricing & billing

What it costs — and what it doesn’t.

What counts as an “active pass”?+

A pass that was used (scanned or newly issued) within the last 3 months and has not been revoked. Dormant cards cost you nothing.

Can I cancel monthly?+

Yes. No minimum term, no notice period. You cancel in the Stripe customer portal — the account runs until the end of the month and then shuts down cleanly.

What is included in the 14-day trial?+

Everything. Really everything. No feature is hidden behind the trial. You can issue passes, scan, set your branding and collect as many regulars as you like. No credit card required to start.

How is billing handled?+

At the end of the month Stripe charges your plan’s base price (Standard €39 or Sponsor €29) plus €0.20 per active pass via SEPA direct debit or credit card. If you run several branches, each additional location adds a surcharge (€5 cheaper than your plan). The invoice arrives automatically by email. Only the first 500 active passes per location are billed; all prices exclude VAT.

Is there a discount for partners / resellers?+

Yes. If you sign up via one of our partner codes (e.g. /r/your-partner), you get 28 days free instead of 14. Talk to us if you refer merchants yourself.

Apple Wallet & Google Wallet

How the wallet passes work technically.

Who signs the Apple Wallet passes?+

We manage all Apple certificates for you. You don’t need your own Apple Developer account (which would cost $99/year and involve a lengthy verification process).

Does it work without an iPhone?+

Yes. Android users get the pass in Google Wallet (pre-installed on almost all Android devices). iOS users in the Apple Wallet app. Neither needs an extra app installation.

What happens on the customer’s pass when I award a stamp?+

The pass updates automatically via Apple’s and Google’s wallet push channels. Your customer sees the new balance within seconds — without opening any app.

Can I send messages directly to my customers’ passes?+

Yes. You or your till staff can broadcast a short message (“Happy hour today until 6 pm”) from the dashboard / scanner to all active pass holders. It shows up directly as a wallet notification.

Do geofencing pushes work in Germany, too?+

Yes. When your customer walks past your shop (location set in the dashboard), the pass automatically surfaces in the wallet’s main view — as long as wallet location services are enabled. That’s standard iOS/Android behaviour, no extra permission.

Can I collect customer feedback and get more reviews?+

Yes. After a reward is redeemed you can ask the customer for stars: 4–5 ★ go straight to your Google review page, 1–3 ★ stay with you as private feedback. You collect more good reviews and catch unhappy customers before they rate you publicly.

What does Google Booster 360° do?+

It helps you with AI around Google reviews: replies are drafted automatically (organically weaving in your SEO focus keywords), the AI spots unfair rants and prepares a ready-made Google removal request, top reviews become shareable Instagram story images, and once a month you get a short AI sentiment report. You can also turn a push message into an optimised Google post with one click.

Branding & customisation

How individual is my card?

Can I use my logo and my colours?+

Yes. Upload your logo (PNG/JPEG/WebP, max 15 MB — we normalise it to 512×512), pick a background colour from the palette or set one freely with the colour picker. Instantly visible on every issued pass.

Can I offer different rewards?+

Yes. Besides the classic single reward (“X stamps = Y free”) you can create a multi-tier pass — e.g. 5 → coffee, then 3 → cake, then 2 → voucher, with an automatic loop. Happy-hour promotions additionally award extra stamps at certain times.

Do I get ready-made poster templates?+

Yes. In the dashboard under “Material & QR” you’ll find four ready-made layouts (A4 poster, table stand, sticker, plain QR) — all with your logo, your colour and your reward text. Downloadable as PNG, SVG or PDF.

Privacy & security

EU hosting, GDPR, your data and your customers’ data.

Where is my data stored?+

Exclusively in EU data centres (Hetzner, located in Germany). No transfers to third countries. A data processing agreement per Art. 28 GDPR is available on request.

What do we store about end customers?+

As little as possible. By default just a random pass ID — completely anonymous. If the customer voluntarily provides their email address (for pass recovery), we store that. No tracking cookies, no third-party analytics on the loyalty card.

Can my customers have their data deleted?+

Yes, by themselves and without detours. At midaswallet.de/datenauskunft they request a magic link by email and can then export or delete all their data (GDPR Art. 15 + 17).

Can I delete my own account?+

Yes, anytime yourself via dashboard settings → “Data export & close account”. Password + email to confirm, then a soft delete with tombstone rename — signing up again with the same email stays possible.

Tech & integration

For the tech-savvy among you.

Is there an API / POS integration?+

Yes — with Kassen-Connect your POS system (Lightspeed, Orderbird & co.) can stamp automatically at checkout, redeem rewards and record voids — via a documented REST API with per-shop API tokens. You create the token in the dashboard and test the integration with the built-in simulator. The full developer docs including the OpenAPI spec are at midaswallet.de/developers.

Multiple staff members / tills per shop?+

Yes. You create one till key per device (PIN-like) which staff enter once on the scanner smartphone. You then see statistics per key and can revoke keys anytime.

What happens if the internet in my shop goes down?+

The scanner is a PWA and works offline for the most important actions. As soon as the network is back, the scans sync up.

Is the system built for multi-location chains?+

Yes. You create any number of locations in one account, your customers collect on one shared card across all branches (one shared balance). You assign each till to a location and see statistics per branch. Optionally a till key only works near its location (geofencing). Every additional location costs €5 less than your plan.
