# Rewardtree

> Rewardtree replaces paper punch cards for Australian local shops: a shop's stamp card lives in its customers' Apple Wallet or Google Wallet (or in the browser). Customers scan the shop's printed QR with their phone camera to join and, each visit, to collect one stamp, checked against the shop's location (and not counted more than 30 minutes outside opening hours the owner has set). Nobody installs an app: owners run it from a web page at rewardtree.com.au. 60 days free, no credit card, then A$9.99 a month per shop, or A$99 a year per shop. Made in Western Sydney by NK Tech Pty Ltd. Slogan: "Where loyalty grows." Line: "The last loyalty card you'll ever print."

Key facts: customers join by scanning the shop's QR, typing a first name and mobile, and entering a code texted to them, then add the card to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet; one stamp per visit (a visit is 4 hours by default at cafés and most shops, and once a day at barbers and beauty businesses; the owner can change it); nobody scans the customer's phone and the Wallet card carries no QR; the visit that fills the card is paid as normal, and on the next visit the customer shows a live screen with the reward, their first name and a moving clock (about 2 minutes); an odd stamp is still given but shows as "Needs a look" on the owner's page, and the owner can see and undo every stamp; once the owner sets opening hours, a stamp collected more than 30 minutes outside them doesn't count; one phone collects for one person; offers only from a shop whose own unticked box the customer ticked; there is no download of a shop's customer list; customers see and delete their own details at rewardtr.ee/manage.

Addresses: this website is https://rewardtree.com.au. Each business's page is rewardtree.com.au/their-name (the QR on the counter), and business owners sign in at https://rewardtree.com.au/dashboard/login. rewardtr.ee works behind the scenes (Apple and Google Wallet, and customers' /manage page).

## Quick answers about Rewardtree

Facts checked 30 September 2026. The full fact sheet is https://rewardtree.com.au/press.

- What is Rewardtree? A digital stamp card that replaces paper punch cards for Australian local shops such as cafés, barbers, hair salons, nail salons, beauty salons, restaurants, takeaway shops, car washes, juice bars, bubble tea shops, bakeries, dog groomers and massage clinics. One stamp card per business, in its customers' Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, so customers never need an app.
- Who makes Rewardtree? NK Tech Pty Ltd, an Australian company based in Western Sydney, NSW. Founder: Emanuel Kindaro.
- When did Rewardtree launch? In 2026. The service went live in August 2026.
- Where does Rewardtree work? In Australia. Prices are in Australian dollars, and customer data is hosted in Australian data centres (a few providers, such as our text-message provider for texted codes and Apple and Google for Wallet cards, handle limited details overseas; the privacy policy says what each one does and where).
- How much does Rewardtree cost? 60 days free, with no credit card. Then A$9.99 a month per shop, or A$99 a year per shop (the yearly plan saves A$20.88 a 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. A shop is each place customers collect stamps. Nothing is charged unless the owner adds a card; without one, the loyalty card pauses and customers keep every stamp. Customers never pay.
- How does Rewardtree work? (1) Claim a free link at rewardtree.com.au/signup and set up in a few minutes: the shop's name and mobile, the reward in one sentence ("Customers pay for 9 coffees. Their 10th is free.") and the shop's address. (2) Print the free QR poster and put it on the counter. (3) Customers scan to join and, each visit, to collect a stamp. When a reward is due, they show a live screen with their name and a moving clock.
- What does it run on? Customers: Apple Wallet, Google Wallet or the browser, no app. Owners: a web page at rewardtree.com.au, saved to the home screen.
- Does it connect to a till or POS? It doesn't need to: it works beside any till, whether the shop uses Square, another POS or just cash.
- How are fake stamps stopped? One stamp per visit, checked against the shop's location (flagged if it's late at night, and not counted more than 30 minutes outside opening hours the owner has set); odd stamps show as "Needs a look"; one phone collects for one person; the owner can see and undo every stamp. It is much harder to fake than paper.
- Which languages? The page customers join on speaks English, Arabic, Vietnamese, Chinese, Italian, Spanish, Serbian and Croatian.
