Barbershop loyalty program: ten cuts, one free, zero paper
Rewardtree gives Australian barbers a digital stamp card that lives in clients' Apple Wallet or Google Wallet. Print one QR for your counter; clients scan it to join and collect a stamp each visit. No app, no paper card to lose. 60 days free, then A$9.99 a month per shop.
Still in their pocket at the next cut.
Your clients come in weeks apart. A card in Apple or Google Wallet is still there when they come back. Paper often isn't.
Start free 60 days free. No credit card.
The problem with the old way
A month between visits is where paper cards go to die. A card in their phone's wallet survives the wash.
Rewards that work for a barbershop
The reward, then the sentence your card shows.
- Free haircut: "Customers pay for 5 haircuts. Their 6th is free."
- Free haircut: "Customers pay for 9 haircuts. Their 10th is free."
- $15 off: "Customers pay for 7 haircuts. Their 8th gets $15 off."
How loyalty works for a barbershop
Clients come back every few weeks for a cut, which is plenty of time for a paper card to go through the wash. A card in their phone's wallet is still there when they sit back in the chair.
With weeks between visits, a shorter card keeps the reward in sight: pay for 5 cuts, the 6th free, is where a new card starts, and you can pick any number.
Everything a barbershop needs, on one plan
- Joining at the counter: customers scan your QR with their phone camera and type their first name, mobile and the code we text them. No app for them.
- Your card in Apple Wallet and Google Wallet, updated on their phone after every stamp.
- One stamp per visit (once a day or every 4 hours, you choose), checked against where your shop is. A stamp from far away is still given but shows as “Needs a look”. Set your opening hours and a stamp collected more than 30 minutes outside them doesn’t count. You can see and undo every stamp.
- A live reward screen: when a reward is due, they show you the reward, their first name and a moving clock. Staff type nothing.
- Your own web page with your customers and their visits. Nothing to install.
- A free QR poster to print for your counter, with a page of stickers.

Questions barbers ask us
How much does a barbershop loyalty program cost?#
On Rewardtree, 60 days free with no credit card, then A$9.99 a month per shop, or A$99 a year per shop. That's our end-of-year special for businesses that sign up by 31 December 2026: you keep it for every shop, including shops you add later, for as long as you stay. From 1 January 2027, businesses that sign up pay A$19.99 a month or A$199 a year. Many loyalty apps charge more per location: Square Loyalty, for example, is A$49 to A$149 a month in Australia (Square's Australian page, checked 27 September 2026).
Do my customers need to download an app?#
No. They scan the QR on your counter with their phone camera, type their first name, mobile and the code we text them, and your card goes into Apple Wallet or Google Wallet. Each visit, they scan the same QR to collect a stamp.
What loyalty reward works for a barbershop?#
Something clients already want: a free cut after 5 or 9 paid ones, or money off, like $15 off their 8th visit. Your card counts haircuts, so "Customers pay for 5 haircuts. Their 6th is free." means a free haircut, and any other reward is named on it, like a free beard trim.
Does a loyalty card work when clients come every few weeks?#
Yes, and that is where a wallet card beats paper. The card sits in their Apple Wallet or Google Wallet between cuts, so it is there when they come back, and every stamp updates it on their phone.
