Quick answer

Why teams choose points per purchase loyalty

Choose this mechanic when you want reward logic that scales with transaction value instead of a flat per-visit model.

Points per purchase is strongest when the business wants to reward spend, motivate larger baskets, and show an always-visible wallet balance after every qualifying transaction.

Reward higher-value purchases with more points instead of giving the same reward on every visit.
Keep the current points balance visible on the wallet card after each update.
Encourage larger baskets and stronger repeat-purchase behavior over time.
Fit spend-based loyalty into one Apple Wallet and Google Wallet customer flow.
Deep dive

How a points per purchase program works

Define how points are earned, issue the wallet card, and update the balance after each qualifying transaction.

First, the business defines the earning rule, for example how many points the customer receives for a given purchase amount. Then the wallet card is issued through QR code or link so the customer can save it to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet.

After each qualifying purchase, the visible balance is updated and the customer sees the current progress directly on the phone. This gives the business a clearer spend-based loyalty flow without separate app friction.
