What Alvy is
Alvy gives local businesses branded digital loyalty cards that customers can join by scanning a QR code and entering their details. Customers can save supported cards to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, or use a web card, without installing a separate customer app. Staff can use a phone or tablet to find customers, add stamps, and record rewards. Owners can review visits, rewards, branches, inactive customers, and repeat behaviour in a dashboard. Setup guidance covers designing a card, setting up staff, and adding owner and staff apps to a phone home screen. Branch and staff controls support businesses as they add locations. Alvy is designed for cafes, coffee shops, restaurants, salons, barbers, dessert shops, and retail stores. Alvy Premium costs £10 a month and includes unlimited digital cards, QR joining, wallet support, staff scanning, analytics, and custom branding. A 14-day trial has no charge during the trial but requires a card. The listed location limit is one location.
