Switching takes a few days. Your customers already know how wallet cards work, which helps.
- Set up your card. Match your current stamp target so the reward feels the same.
- Swap the poster. Put the new Regulars QR poster on the counter. Update your link in bio.
- Bridge the old stamps. Ask regulars to add the new card. Give a stamp or two for what they had, or honour old cards for a few weeks.
