Loyalty Pass on the Lock Screen

When a business pins its address in Fideliya, its loyalty pass can appear on a customer’s phone near the shop: on iPhone as a lock-screen suggestion with a line that names the business, such as "Café Lina is nearby", and on Android as a Google Wallet notification that opens the pass, with the phone deciding when.

A reminder at the door

Pin once, every pass carries it

The address you pin goes into every pass you issue, up to ten branches, and passes customers already hold pick it up at their next update.

On iPhone, a suggestion on the lock screen

Near a pinned branch, iOS can suggest your pass with a line such as "Café Lina is nearby", written in the language of the pass.

On Android, a notification from Google Wallet

Google notifies customers who allow notifications and precise location, at a distance Google sets, and the notification opens the pass.

Go to Location on iOS 27

When Apple Maps recognises your main branch, the pass carries a button that opens Maps; otherwise the back of the pass carries a Find Us link.

On every plan, Free included

Free covers one location, Pro four, Enterprise as many as you run; a pass carries up to ten.

The moment

A regular walks past your door at 8:10 with your pass in their wallet. If you have pinned your address, their phone can put your pass in front of them before they reach the counter: on an iPhone as a suggestion on the lock screen, on Android as a notification from Google Wallet. Nothing is sent by you, and nothing is promised.

How it works

When you pin a branch, at the "Where is your shop?" step when you create your pass or later on the pass’s locations page, Fideliya writes that point into the pass: up to ten branches, the main one first. On iPhone each point carries a short line in the pass’s own language, such as "Café Lina is nearby". On Android the same points go to Google Wallet as merchant locations. The phone compares its own position with those points; Fideliya takes no part in that check.

Go to Location, and Find Us

On iOS 27 and later, when Apple Maps recognises your main branch, the pass carries a Go to Location button that opens Maps. Every other pinned pass carries a Find Us link on its back, so no customer is left without a way to reach you.

What the customer controls

On iPhone, the customer can turn off the lock-screen suggestion for your pass, and Location Services has to be on. On Android, Google sends the notification only to people who have notifications on and have given Google Wallet precise, always-on location access.

What it cannot promise

iOS and Google decide when the pass appears, and neither publishes the distance; Google also decides how long someone has to stay nearby. So it will not happen on every walk past, and Fideliya cannot see when it does. It is a reminder that can happen, and it costs the customer nothing to ignore.

Setting it up

Pin your address at the "Where is your shop?" step when you create your pass, or on the pass’s locations page at any time. Customers who already hold the pass pick up the pin at its next update, usually their next stamp. If you re-pin a branch or clear its pin, the pass changes the same way.

Frequently asked questions

Will the pass appear every time a customer walks past?

No. iOS and Google decide when, and neither publishes the distance. The pass can appear near a pinned branch; it is not guaranteed to.

Does the customer have to do anything?

Keep the pass in their wallet. On iPhone the suggestion is on unless they turn it off for your pass; on Android they need notifications on and precise, always-on location for Google Wallet.

Which plans include it?

Every plan, including Free. Plans differ in how many locations you can add: one on Free, four on Pro, as many as you need on Enterprise. A pass carries up to ten.

Does Fideliya track where my customers are?

No. The nearby suggestion happens on the phone: it compares its own position with the branch points on the pass, and that position is never sent to Fideliya. What Fideliya records is which of your branches a customer joined at, from that counter’s QR code, and which branch a visit was scanned at when your staff choose it in the scanner, the way a till records which shop made a sale.

Can I send a message to customers who are near my shop?

No. A broadcast goes to everyone holding the pass, to customers seen in the last 30 days, to those not seen for over 30, or to people you name, never by place.

What happens if I move or close a branch?

Re-pin the branch or clear its pin on the pass’s locations page, and the pass drops the old point at its next update, usually the customer’s next stamp, so a closed shop stops appearing.
