Pass types and design
Look for templates that match your use case: membership ID, stamp or points loyalty, event tickets, coupons, gift cards, daily passes, multipass bundles, and ongoing discount cards.
MemberPass offers nine templates in a self-serve editor with live Apple and Google Wallet preview. Typical stamp-card-only apps may cover cafés but not events or gift cards — check the vendor list.
Signup, scan, and campaigns
Ask whether you get public signup links, staff scanning without a separate consumer app, referral programmes, voucher campaigns with claim URLs, and multi-location support.
Platforms such as Perkstar-style loyalty apps often emphasise stamps and CRM; compare whether you need Shopify depth, a documented Client API, or club legacy migration support.
