Do my customers need to download an app?+
No. Customers join from a link, add their loyalty card to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, and that's it. No app to install on either side.
How do customers join my loyalty program?+
Share your café's unique join link (e.g. retrieverlabs.net/join/your-café) or download branch posters from the dashboard. Customers enter their first name and phone, then add the wallet pass you generate for them.
How do staff award or redeem points?+
Open the scannerand point the camera at the customer's wallet QR, and it stamps automatically. Buying more than one? Set the quantity before you scan. Forgot their pass? Look them up by phone right on the scanner. When they hit the reward threshold, the same screen lets staff redeem it.
Can I install the scanner as an app on my till or phone?+
Yes. Open the scanner in your browser and you'll see an
Install the scanner app prompt, tap
Install and it opens in its own window with the Retriever icon.
On a Mac/Windows computer (Chrome or Edge): use that prompt, or the install icon in the address bar. On an iPhone/iPad (Safari): tap the Share button, then Add to Home Screen.
Installing it this way means the camera permission is remembered, so staff don't get asked for camera access every time they open it.
How do I add or remove staff?+
As the owner, go to
Dashboard → Team and invite a staff member by email. You can also invite managers from a branch. They get a secure link to
set their own password - no shared or temporary passwords. Team members get their branch scanner, managers get their branch dashboard, and owners can remove access anytime. Staff can also leave a branch themselves from Account → Password and security.
Can I customize the card?+
Yes,
