Introducing LoyaltyChips

Today we're introducing LoyaltyChips: premium physical loyalty chips — casino-grade tokens with NFC and QR built in — paired with a rewards platform that works for any business. It's loyalty you can hold: a real object, handed across a real counter, backed by software that does the remembering.

LoyaltyChips is built by Sharka Software, LLC. It began with a simple observation: most loyalty programs ask too much of the customer and give too little to the business. Punch cards smudge, tear, and vanish into wallets. Apps get downloaded for a first-visit discount and forgotten by the weekend. And many of the systems that do stick keep the most valuable asset — the customer relationship — locked inside someone else's platform.

We built the opposite, starting with the object itself. A LoyaltyChips token is a weighted, casino-grade chip that carries your brand and feels like something worth keeping. It sits on the counter. It gets handed over. It goes home in a pocket. The technology hides inside it.

No app, no account, no friction

Here is the entire customer experience. They tap the chip with their phone, or scan its QR code with the camera they already know how to use. A branded reward page opens in the browser — your name, your colors, your reward. Their progress grows visit by visit, and when the reward lands, the page marks it with our signature golden spark: a small piece of theater that makes coming back feel like something.

There is nothing to install and nothing to sign up for. Customers use the phone already in their hand, and the whole exchange takes about ten seconds. That matters, because loyalty programs rarely fail at the idea. They fail at the friction.

A customer list you actually own

On the other side of the counter, owners get a clean dashboard: visits, reward redemptions, and a customer list that belongs to the business — not to us. You can export it any time, in full, with no hoops. Contact details are captured with clear consent, once, and they stay with the business they were shared with. Owners sign in with email, phone, Google, or Apple, and setup takes minutes rather than a sales cycle.

The flagship is the chip, but the family is broader: member cards for wallets, and formats sized to different counters and price points. Every piece resolves to the same reward page you control, so you can change the reward tonight without reprinting anything tomorrow.

We designed LoyaltyChips to be deliberately industry-agnostic. The same kit works for a restaurant building regulars, a cafe rewarding the morning crowd, a salon filling rebooking gaps, a retail shop or dispensary turning first visits into habits, a service business staying top of mind between appointments, and an e-commerce brand slipping something tangible into the box. If your business depends on people coming back, the mechanic fits.

Simple, honest pricing

Plans start at $29 per month, and physical kits start at $199. Every plan includes unlimited customers and unlimited taps — we don't meter your success or charge per order. And every plan begins with a 30-day trial, long enough to put chips on the counter and watch real customers use them before the first bill arrives.

We're launching the way we intend to operate: plainly. No inflated numbers, no borrowed logos, no “trusted by thousands” on day one. What we have is the product — a chip that feels good to hand over, a reward page that opens in a second, and a platform that treats your customer list as yours.

LoyaltyChips is available today at loyaltychips.com. Build a kit, start a trial, and put something real on your counter.
