Compare Loyalito and Square Loyalty

A Square Loyalty alternative for any till

If you already take payments on Square, Square Loyalty is genuinely hard to beat on convenience — it lives inside the checkout you already use. The trade-off is that your loyalty program becomes part of your payment provider.

What Square Loyalty does well

Credit where it is due

If these are the things that matter most to you, take them seriously — they are real advantages.

Zero extra steps at checkout

Enrolment and earning happen inside the payment flow you are already running. Nothing separate to scan.

Automatic transaction data

Because it sits in the till, it knows exactly what was bought and for how much, without any integration work.

One vendor, one bill

Payments, hardware and loyalty from the same place, with one support line.

Where Loyalito differs

What you get instead

Differences, not a scorecard. Each of these is a deliberate design decision with a cost attached.

Independent of your payment provider

Loyalito runs alongside any till. If you switch payment providers — or run different systems across sites — your program and your customer list are unaffected.

The card lives in the wallet

A native Apple or Google Wallet pass that updates itself and can reach the lock screen, rather than a phone-number lookup at the counter.

Marketing that acts on its own

Lapse detection, AI-drafted campaigns and per-customer send timing, rather than a reporting screen you have to act on yourself.

Portable data

Export your members and their history at any time. Your list is not an asset of your payment processor.

The honest recommendation

Which one should you pick?

Choose Square Loyalty if…

  • You run Square everywhere and have no plans to change
  • You want spend-level data with no setup at all
  • You prefer a single vendor for payments and loyalty

Choose Loyalito if…

  • You do not use Square, or use different systems across locations
  • You want the freedom to change payment provider later
  • You want a wallet card customers keep, not a phone-number prompt
  • You want the win-back messaging handled for you

Please verify before deciding. Square's loyalty features, availability and pricing vary by country and change over time. Confirm current details with Square for your market.
