About the App – TapLoyal
Last updated: 4 February 2026
Overview
TapLoyal is an Android application that enables simple, privacy-friendly loyalty programs
using QR codes and NFC tags.
Businesses place a QR code or NFC tag at their counter, and customers tap or scan to collect
digital stamps and unlock rewards.
No customer registration required.
Customers can use TapLoyal anonymously.
The app is designed for quick check-ins at the counter without staff interaction.
How TapLoyal Works
- A business creates a QR code or NFC entry point in the app.
- The code or tag is placed on the counter or entrance.
- Customers scan or tap using their phone.
- A digital stamp is recorded and progress toward a reward is updated.

to prevent abuse and enforce cooldowns.
