Joyn digital loyalty solutions

Joyn is an easy way to save and redeem loyalty points, both online and in-store.

Joyn combines a digital loyalty card and a valuable marketing platform into one convenient solution.

  • For customers, Joyn is an easy way to save and redeem loyalty points, both online and in-store. 
  • For merchants, Joyn is a strong, user-friendly loyalty platform that can turn every customer into a regular.

A super-efficient loyalty card

Customers can choose from 3 types of Joyn loyalty cards. Firstly, they can download and use the Joyn consumer app in order to save their loyalty points. Secondly, brand new customers can use a loyalty card that is printed on a merchant flyer. And thirdly, customers who do not own a smartphone can get a plastic loyalty card.

The Joyn consumer app is available on Android and iOS. Smartphone users can also seamlessly combine their digital Joyn loyalty card with the Payconiq by Bancontact app. Once the merchant has entered the payable amount, the customer can make the payment and add the Joyn loyalty points with a smarthphone. Easy for everyone.

Joyn allows merchants to:

  • Attract new customers
  • Reward loyal customers
  • Win back any 'lost' customers
  • Get to know their customers better
  • Boost the number of customer visits
  • Increase their average customer spend

Joyn therefore offers a guaranteed return on investment. For instance, merchants who organise Joyn email promotional campaigns will see their sales rise by 15%, and if they add coupons to the mix, their sales growth can be as high as 35%.

And there is more. The Joyn loyalty solutions also offer merchants a wealth of customer information and the possibility to contact prospects thanks to the performant marketing platform. As a result, merchants can meet their customers’ needs even better, for instance with exclusive promotions. So the more people use Joyn cards with the merchant, the more people the merchant can reach.

For further details on the Joyn loyalty card, visit the Joyn website and the KBC website.

The Joyn Public API Documentation has more technical details.

Who can offer the Joyn digital loyalty solutions?

Third-party developers of point-of-sale applications such as cash register systems can integrate the Joyn loyalty solutions in their software. This means that a cash register system can display the sales amount and the Joyn QR code directly on the merchant’s iPad or on the customer’s receipt. All the customer needs to do to receive the loyalty points is scan the code with the Joyn consumer app. And if the customer doesn’t have a smartphone, the merchant's iPad can be used to scan the customer's plastic Joyn card and award the customer's loyalty points that way.

E-commerce software providers can also use several techniques to integrate Joyn. A webstore or e-commerce system can display the loyalty points as QR codes or mobile links on the order confirmation page or email. Customers can then scan this code with the Joyn consumer app or click on the mobile link with their smartphone to receive the loyalty points instantly.

How do these solutions work?

The merchant can integrate Joyn into the customer flow in 3 ways:

1. The online merchant can display the Joyn loyalty token on the electronic order confirmation

  3. The customer then scans the QR code with the Joyn consumer app or opens the URL on a smartphone.

        Competitive pricing

        Joyn is completely free to customers. The merchant pays a small monthly contract charge. This contract then entitles the merchant to unlimited use of most Joyn features. Certain custom campaigns require an extra.

        If the merchant wants to offer the iPad option, the iPad device is the only requirement. There are no other investment costs.

        Do not hesitate to get in touch for further details and rates.
