About Square Loyalty

Square Loyalty is a customer loyalty program software from Square that works with the POS system to track sales and increase repeat visits. It provides features such as Food & Drink, Point of Sale, Payments, Websites, and Invoices, so businesses can effectively engage and reward their customers. The platform enables users to set up a loyalty program quickly and gain 360° insights into the customer behaviors. This software supports various types of businesses, making it adaptable to different customer bases. Key capabilities: loyalty tracking customer engagement data analytics rewards management integration with POS Best for: businesses that need to foster customer loyalty and increase repeat visits.

Square Loyalty by Square is a customer loyalty program solution designed to seamlessly integrate with the broader Square ecosystem, enabling small and medium-sized businesses to reward repeat customers, boost engagement, and drive customer retention. Developed as an extension of Square’s point-of-sale (POS) system, Square Loyalty allows merchants to easily set up and customize digital loyalty programs that align with their business model. Key features include point-based rewards, customer insights, automated reward notifications, and performance tracking tools—all managed directly from the Square Dashboard. The user interface of Square Loyalty is one of its strongest assets. True to Square’s design philosophy, the interface is clean, intuitive, and visually cohesive across platforms. Users can quickly navigate through loyalty settings, create rules (e.g., earn one point per dollar spent), and view real-time analytics with minimal effort. Adding new loyalty rules or modifying an existing program is straightforward, and the system walks users through setup with helpful prompts. The integration with Square POS ensures that staff members can easily enroll customers during checkout, without disrupting the transaction flow.
