Overview

Flok is a mobile loyalty app: stamp cards, coupons, push notifications, the usual. The problem: customers have to download a separate app, and most people just won't, so a large share of your walk-ins never joins. There's no POS integration either, so tracking is manual or QR-based. No churn detection, no automated retention.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are Wallet passes better than a loyalty app?
Wallet passes live in the customer's existing phone wallet. No download, no login. Adoption runs 3 to 5x higher than app-based programs (Square 2025 Loyalty Report), because nobody has to visit an app store to join.
Does Regulr track visits without an app?
Yes. Regulr tracks visits through your Square POS automatically. Customers don't need to do anything. They just pay as they normally would.
Can I migrate from Flok to Regulr?
If you run Square, yes. We help businesses move from app-based loyalty to a wallet pass that updates from real Square visit data. If you're not on Square, Regulr isn't the right fit yet.
