Paper card
You didn’t give the blue stamp.
It stays in a wallet… or in the washing machine.

It lives on the phone they always carry.
Point by point
What changes with digital
Straight answer
Which one is for you?
Both work the same way: so many visits and they earn something. What changes is everything around it.
Paper may be enough if…
- Your customers already know it and you don't want to change anything for them.
- Printing is cheap for you and you don't want a monthly fee.
- You rarely change the reward or the promotion.
- You don't need to know who comes back and who stopped coming.
Digital is better if…
- You want to know who comes back and who hasn't been in for a while.
- Your customers lose their card or leave it at home.
- You've seen cards with stamps you didn't give.
- You want to change the reward without reprinting.
What it costs
What each one costs
A paper card costs whatever your print shop charges, plus the ink stamp. And you pay again every time they run out or you change the reward. Do the math with your last order.
With Repik it's 30 days free, then $500 MXN a month, everything included: the card in Apple Wallet and Google Wallet, your counter QR, the scanner and your dashboard. No credit card to start and no contract.
Your counter
You still print one thing: your QR
Paper doesn't disappear from your counter with Repik. When you sign up, you download a PDF with your QR, ready to print on a half-letter sheet. You put it where your customers pay.
Your customer scans it with their camera instead of asking for their paper card. You stamp by scanning their card from your phone.
Frequently asked questions
Questions about switching from paper to digital
Can I use both at the same time?
Yes. Customers who already have a paper card finish it, and new customers scan your QR. Nobody loses what they've already collected.
Can people cheat with the digital card?
Only you or your team give stamps, by scanning the customer's card from your phones. A look-alike ink stamp no longer works.
Do my customers have to download anything?
No. The card is saved to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, which already come on the phone.
How much does the digital card cost?
30 days free. After that, $500 pesos a month if you decide to stay. No credit card to start and no contract.
