Let your customers bring you new customers.

A regular has her card in Apple Wallet. Her friend scans it with his camera and gets a free Coffee from her. His own card goes into Apple Wallet. At the counter, staff scan it and tap Redeem. The regular earns a free Coffee too, and her friends bring theirs.

Your regulars send their friends a free coffee from Apple Wallet. Every friend who comes in earns them another one, and you get a new customer.

How it works

One poster by the till. Your regulars do the rest.

Every screen here is the real ShareBear.

  1. 01 · Set up

    Find your venue, and your card is ready

    Search for your venue on Google. ShareBear finds your logo, your colours and a free item from your menu, and builds your card. Check it, change anything, go live.

  2. 02 · Poster

    Put the poster by the till

    Regulars scan it with their iPhone camera and get your card in Apple Wallet. They're ambassadors straight away, so they can share it on their way out.

  3. 03 · Share

    Friends scan their card for a free coffee

    Your regular opens the card in Wallet and a friend points their camera at it. A photo and a name later, the friend has their own card. No app, about 30 seconds.

  4. 04 · Counter

    Staff scan it at the counter

    Your staff use their own phone. The friend's photo shows up, they tap Redeem, and the friend becomes a customer who can share too.

  5. 05 · Reward

    Every friend who comes in earns them a reward

    The sharer's card updates by itself: a note on the lock screen, the friend's face with a tick, and a free coffee to claim.

  6. 06 · Titles

    Titles and a leaderboard keep them going

    Ambassador, Insider, Star, VIP, Legend, GOAT. Every friend who comes in moves them up, and your leaderboard shows who brought the most this month.

  7. 07 · Dashboard

    See who brought who

    Every customer, the friends they sent and the friends those friends sent. Contact details when customers opt in, and a CSV whenever you want one.

Questions

A paper bear scratching its head
What can I give away?

Anything you sell: a coffee, a cake, a day pass. You choose the item and what it's worth.

How do customers join?

They scan a QR code with their iPhone camera: your poster first, then each other's cards. They add a name and a photo, and the card goes into Apple Wallet.

Do I need a website?

No. ShareBear starts from your Google listing. If it finds your website it uses your logo and colours, and you can always upload your own.

Can someone claim twice?

No. It's one card per iPhone at each venue, and your staff see the member's photo when they scan.

Do my staff need anything?

Just their own phone. Send them a log-in link, then they scan the customer's card with the camera and tap Redeem.

Do customers need an app?

No. The card lives in Apple Wallet, which is already on their iPhone.

Does it work on Android?

Not yet. ShareBear cards are iPhone only for now.

Does it cost customers anything?

No. The free items are on the venue.

I have a card. Where are my friends and rewards?

Open the card in Wallet, tap ••• and then Pass Details, and open your card. Your rewards, friends and title are all there.

Start with one free coffee.

Find your venue, check your card and put the poster up. Your regulars take it from there.
