Rarely have we shipped this much in such a short time: July and August 2026 brought a dozen new features to the loyal portal — many of them straight from our pilot customers’ feedback. Here is the complete overview.
Marketing: automations with weather and wallet push
The automations module made this summer’s biggest leap. Alongside the eight established automations — birthday, welcome, newsletter, win-back, anniversary, campaign start and end, “almost full!” and reward reminder — two things are new:
Weather automations. loyal checks the daily forecast for your location and automatically launches the right campaign at your thresholds — the rainy-day coupon on a grey Tuesday, the ice-cream special on a summer weekend.
Wallet push per automation. Every automation can now deliver its message as a wallet notification on the lock screen, in addition to the email — with your brand as the sender. And with notifications to segments you target customer groups by stamp count, e.g. everyone just two stamps away from their reward.
Operations: the stamp scanner and new stamp rules
With the stamp scanner in the portal you award stamps without a POS system — any smartphone or tablet becomes a terminal, including new-customer registration right at the counter and separate accounts per location.
Behind it sits a new rules engine for campaign mechanics, fully self-service:
- Collection window: points expire automatically after X days.
- Challenge mode: fixed campaign periods with a clean “Challenge finished”.
- One-off campaign: after redemption the card permanently shows “Redeemed”.
- Registration stop on a cut-off date and a daily limit per customer.
Presence: sender domain, card design, 7 languages
- Your own sender domain: your campaigns and automations now come from your own address (e.g. news@your-restaurant.com). Set up DKIM and SPF in the portal with a status display.
- Card configurator expanded: your own stamp symbol as a vector, pin-sharp stamps on every display and a freely assignable extra field on the pass — such as “10× = 1 month free”.
- Portal in 7 languages: German, English, Spanish, French, Turkish, Russian and Arabic — the latter with a full right-to-left layout.
Administration: locations, API and dashboard
- New location dialog: addresses with autocomplete (worldwide), structured opening hours including lunch breaks and a PIN control for fraud protection.
- Self-service API keys: generate and rotate POS keys yourself in the portal — the freshly modernised documentation lives at docs.loyal-app.de.
- Dashboard: quota display for coupons (“17 of 50 redeemed”), PDF export for your reports and explainer hints on every metric.
- Explainers everywhere: every new portal setting ships with its own mini demo — so self-service truly works without a manual.
