Introducing Zeal Loyalty Link: Turn Your Card Machines into Loyalty Engines

With e-commerce businesses, both small and large, reaping the benefits of customer identification, loyalty, and AI, the pressure is on for brick-and-mortar retailers to get in on the action.

The challenge has always been identifying who’s new or already enrolled in your loyalty programme. This uncertainty leads to missed opportunities to engage, retain, and reward customers. Moreover, traditional sign-up and redemption processes often create bottlenecks at the checkout. Typically involving QR codes or requiring customers to use their phones, these traditional methods cause friction and frustration during the payment experience.

That’s where Zeal Loyalty Link steps in. It’s a new way for retailers to keep track of who’s new to your loyalty app and who’s already registered – all directly from the card machine. It revolutionises how retailers interact with their customers by seamlessly integrating any loyalty app with the card machine, transforming both the loyalty and redemption experiences.

That said, you can now acquire more loyalty app downloads right from your card machine at zero cost, just by the customer entering their phone number once in their lifetime on the machine.

Keep reading to learn the ins and outs of Zeal Loyalty Link — including how to access it and make the most out of your loyalty app.

Why Zeal Loyalty Link Is Important

While having a loyalty app helps build customer loyalty and engagement, integrating Zeal Loyalty Link will be a more effective avenue for frictionless customer accession and retention within your existing programme.

With that said, opting for Zeal Loyalty Link has plenty of perks. Here are three of them:

#1: More Customer Sign-Ups, Less Friction at Payment

Operating a brand centred around a loyalty app often brings added pressure to constantly sign up new customers and manage rewards redemptions. It’s a familiar scene that can lead to frustration and missed opportunities — both for your customers and your business.

Now, think how smooth it could be if signing up for your loyalty programme was as easy as making a payment. No need to ask if customers know about your app or if they’d like to join — Zeal Loyalty Link handles it all in the background.

As soon as customers pay on the card machine, Zeal Loyalty Link checks if they’re already enrolled. If not, the process to get them on board happens seamlessly. That means no more long queues or noisy disruptions — just a smooth, quiet process that keeps everyone happy and keeps business moving.

#2: Seamless & Easy Integration

Integrating new technology often sounds like a complex task, especially when it involves crucial systems like your card machine and loyalty app. But what if this integration wasn’t just painless — it actually improved your existing setup? That’s the promise of Zeal Loyalty Link.

Its uniqueness lies in its global compatibility — it fits seamlessly without disrupting your current operations. This plug-and-play solution connects effortlessly with any loyalty app and works on any card machine you’re already using, bringing a new level of simplicity to your tech environment.

#3: Reliable Security You Can Count On

When it comes to handling your customers’ transactions, security isn’t just a feature — it’s a necessity. That’s why Zeal Loyalty Link is built to meet the highest standards, specifically PCI DSS.

Wondering what that means for you?

PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) is a robust set of guidelines that ensure all companies accepting or processing card information do so in a secure environment.

With Zeal Loyalty Link, we don’t just meet these standards — we make them part of our mission to safeguard your transactions. This deep commitment to security means every card tap is protected, giving both you and your customers peace of mind.

How Zeal Loyalty Link Works

Zeal Loyalty Link simplifies the loyalty integration process into three seamless steps:

Instant Recognition

As soon as a customer performs a payment, Zeal Loyalty Link instantly checks whether they’re already enrolled in your loyalty programme.

‍

Easy Sign-Up

If they’re new, the card machine prompts them to enter their phone number, and then they receive an SMS to download your app and join your loyalty programme.

‍

Simplified Rewards

On future visits, Zeal Loyalty Link instantly recognises any registered customers. No more need for them to identify themselves over and over again. This speeds up transactions and makes the whole shopping experience smoother and more satisfying.

‍

How to Set Up
