Your existing POS
An existing Square connection and a newly scoped integration are different starting points.
A Wallet-first alternative to Square Loyalty
Square Loyalty connects loyalty to Square sales and customer records. Compare that workflow with a Loylo setup for Wallet and member operations, establishing POS integration and market availability before choosing.

What to compare
Sales and returns
Check how points and rewards follow both completed and reversed purchases.
The right market
Verify availability and terms in your country rather than assuming US product terms apply.
Start with the POS you use
Square describes loyalty earning based on visits, spending, items or categories. Its US product page also describes an Apple Wallet pass for points and rewards. Square should therefore not be compared as though it only offers a physical customer card.
For a business already using Square, the connection to sales and customer records is an important consideration. Loylo can be evaluated alongside your existing systems, but automatic earning from another POS requires a defined integration.
Compare transaction events and communication
Square describes enrolment through its POS and online payment surfaces, plus automatic SMS updates about points and rewards. Try a completed sale, a return and a redemption, checking what customers see after each step.
When evaluating Loylo, try the Wallet pass, member page and desired communication channels using the same store rules. Do not equate a manual balance correction with an automatic, reconciled POS event.
Check market availability and migration
This comparison uses Square's US product description. Availability, payment setup and commercial terms need verification for your operating country; do not assume they are identical in Norway and the United States.
A switch needs a map of member identities, earning and unused benefits. Establish how returns against old purchases affect the replacement programme and when the old programme stops awarding progress.

Frequently asked
