Try it live
No login, no commitment — tap a preset and start customizing.
Every visit fills one stamp — the collection is the reward.
How it works
Set your stamp count, your reward, and a splash of branding. Takes under 5 minutes — no design skills needed.
We mail you pre-programmed NFC tap cards for your counter — included with every plan. Customers tap their phone to collect a stamp. Prefer QR? Print your poster and you're live today, before the cards even arrive.
Ruffus automatically re-engages customers with unclaimed rewards or lapsed visits. Repeat visits, real insight — no effort on your end.
The card in their wallet today
Paper punch card
Gets lost in a coat pocket. Your customer starts over from zero.
You never find out who your regulars actually are.
Anyone with a pen can punch it twice.
One stamp from a reward? They forget. You lose the visit.
Ruffus
Lives in their phone and in Wallet. Nothing to lose.
You know who visits, how often, and when.
Every stamp is cryptographically signed and verified.
Ruffus reminds them automatically, in their language.
Built for your business
Everything your loyalty program needs, none of what it doesn't.
Your customers get a premium digital stamp card — branded to your business, usable on the web, as a PWA, and in Apple or Google Wallet.
We ship NFC tap cards for your counter. Customers tap their phone and the stamp is collected on the spot — no tablet, nothing to plug in. QR gets you live on day one, before the cards arrive.
See who visits, how often, and when. Know your best customers by name, not by gut feeling.
Birthday rewards, win-backs, milestone gifts, welcome messages — Ruffus sends them automatically, in your customer’s language. Set it once; repeat visits happen on their own.
Every tap is cryptographically signed and every QR scan is verified. Cloned codes and screenshot tricks get caught — rewards go to real customers.
Every till and tablet gets its own QR that pings its own screen — staff approve requests and redemptions from a PIN-protected terminal on any phone. No dashboard access, no training needed.
Delivery apps never tell you who ordered. Print a sheet of single-use codes, drop one in every bag — they scan, join, and collect a stamp. The next order can come direct.
Merchant dashboard
Sample dataEvery merchant gets a private dashboard with visit trends, top customers, stamp activity, and redemption rates — so you always know what's working.
Seasonal
Ruffus is built for a market that shuts down for part of the year. Pause your subscription when the season ends and nothing is billed while you're closed — no invoice, no cancellation, nothing to rebuild in the spring. Your members, their stamps and your tap cards are exactly where you left them.
Your loyalty program pauses with the billing — customers can't collect or redeem while you're paused, and everything switches back on the day you resume.
One pause every 12 months · up to 4 months in a row · billing restarts on its own
or $41.66/mo billed annually — 2 months free
Every plan: 3 counter stations and 2 NFC tap cards per store, up to 3 loyalty cards. · +$5/mo per extra counter station
FAQ
No. They tap your counter card (or scan your QR code) and their loyalty card opens instantly in their browser or Wallet — nothing to install.
Yes — run up to 3 loyalty cards side by side on any plan: perfect for a seasonal push or a VIP card on top of your main program. Want to reward specific products instead? Run a time-limited bonus-stamp campaign on top of any card from the Campaigns page.
None — Ruffus runs fully standalone. Already on Shopify POS? It connects to that too. Every plan includes 2 NFC tap cards per store plus a printable QR poster, so you’re live the day you sign up.
Every store gets 3 counter stations, and each has its own QR code — a stamp request pings that station’s screen only, so there’s no cross-counter confusion. Put your NFC tap cards where the line forms, and add more stations anytime for $5/month.
Not a chance. Month-to-month, cancel anytime. Pay annually and get 2 months free — but it's always your choice.
No. Pause your subscription instead: billing stops, nothing is invoiced for the months you're closed, and your members, stamps and NFC tap cards stay exactly where they are. Your loyalty program pauses along with the billing — customers can't collect or redeem while you're paused — and everything restarts the day you resume. One pause every 12 months, for up to 4 months in a row, and it lifts on its own.
After their first stamp, customers tap “Add to Apple Wallet” or “Add to Google Wallet” to save the card to their phone. They can also keep using it in the browser or as a PWA — no native app to install. It updates automatically every time they collect a stamp.
Yes. Stamps, members, and reward redemptions roll up across every store in one dashboard, and each store keeps its own analytics. Your first store is included; each additional one is $25/mo.
Ruffus is $49.99/month for one store, with unlimited stamps and members. It includes a 14-day free trial — no card to start. Your 14 days begin at your first real stamp, not at signup. You add a card only before your NFC tap cards ship — it covers the tap cards, never a subscription.
Under 5 minutes to create your card and go live with your QR poster. Your NFC tap cards ship within 1–2 business days — plug-and-play, already programmed.
No waiting. Your program is live immediately with the QR poster; tap cards ship within 1–2 business days and work the moment they arrive. Your trial starts when you do — not when a package does.
Yes. Add your logo, colors, business name, stamp count, and reward — your card looks like your brand, not ours. No design skills needed.
Your loyalty cards, staff terminal, and automatic messages currently run in English, French, and Spanish — customers see your program in their language.
Yes. A card saved to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet shows up on their lock screen when they're near your business — nothing for them to install, nothing for you to configure. It uses the address already on your account, and works on iPhone and Android.
