Stocard Supports Canadian Retailers
Note that not all popular mobile wallets allow for loyalty cards to be added to your mobile. Google and Samsung Pay do work with certain loyalty programs. Apple Pay, however, does not allow users to add loyalty cards. In fact, the only way to add rewards cards to an iOS phone is either download the separate apps for each retailer (if available) or through a third party app like Stocard, which allows you to upload certain loyalty cards to the Apple Wallet straight from its app.
There are various other loyalty card apps at app stores for your mobile Financial institutions like TD Bank and Scotiabank also have mobile wallet apps that allow users to store loyalty cards, but you need to have banking accounts with the respective institution in order to use those types of mobile wallets.
Stocard wants to support retailers from an acquisition standpoint, and help grow loyalty programs with this in-app sign-up feature and companies like Ikea, major French retail chain Carrefour and Australia’s Woolworths Supermarkets currently work with Stocard to grow their programs.
The mobile app can also help retailers understand the ROI of rewards programs by tracking when a loyalty card is used. Tracking the ROI of transactions and these programs can often be quite difficult but Stocard is able to track in-store trips based on the specific retailer rewards card that is used in the mobile wallet.
Note that there are no privacy concerns when it comes to sharing this type of data because Stocard is not sharing consumer data and doesn’t provide any numbers back to retailers that are not tied to the cost of sales (COS). Also Stocard is also planning to bring automation to its platform. This will allow participating retailers to target consumer groups with specific rewards program offers that are of interest to them. Some of the top cards that Canadians have been added to Stocard include Air Miles, Aeroplan, Canadian Tire’s Triangle Rewards and PC Optimum.
