Short answer: A digital prepaid pass card is a pack of sessions (for example, 5 waxing sessions or 10 classes) that the customer keeps on their phone, in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet. At each session your business deducts one by scanning it, and the customer sees how many are left. No paper, no notebook. With Rondafy it is included on both plans, Standard and Pro.
We mean prepaid packs for your business's services, not public transport passes.
What a session pack is
A pack is a bundle of sessions or services the customer buys in advance: five haircuts, eight massages, ten pilates classes. For the customer it's predictable and usually works out a bit cheaper than paying session by session; for you, it's a way of making sure they come back.
The problem is keeping count: on a slip of paper that gets lost, in a notebook nobody can find at peak time, or in a spreadsheet.
How a digital prepaid pass card works
- Create the pack from your dashboard: which service it's for, how many sessions it includes and, if you like, an expiry date. The card carries your logo and colours.
- The customer saves the card on their phone by scanning your QR code, with nothing to install.
- At each session, deduct one by scanning their card from your phone, tablet or computer. The customer sees in their Wallet how many sessions they have left.
- When the pack runs out, the customer sees it on their card and you can send them a phone notification offering a renewal.
Prepaid pass, stamp card and gift card: how they differ
| Prepaid pass card | Stamp card | Gift card | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What it is | A prepaid pack of sessions that gets used up | A loyalty scheme: every visit counts towards a reward | Credit that's bought and spent |
| Who pays first | The customer, for the whole pack | The customer, on each visit; the reward is on you | Whoever gives it as a gift |
| Example | 5 waxing sessions | 8 stamps and the 9th manicure free | €50 to spend at your salon |
| When to use it | Session-based treatments | One-off services that repeat | Gifts and special occasions |
Many businesses use several at once. See how the digital stamp card works and the comparison between points and stamps.
Examples by type of business
- Beauty salon: a pack of 5 or 10 waxing, facial or body treatment sessions. See beauty salons.
- Barbershop or hair salon: a pack of 5 haircuts or beard trims. See barbershops and hair salons.
- Gym, yoga, pilates or personal training studio: a 10-class or 8-session pack. See gyms.
- Physiotherapy, massage and wellbeing: a pack of massage or treatment sessions.
- Private lessons, academies, workshops: a pack of sessions for an activity.
The examples are illustrative. You can define your own packs and your own names.
Advantages over paper
- The customer sees how many sessions they have left in their Wallet, without having to ask or dig out a slip of paper.
- It doesn't get lost: it's on their phone, next to their cards and tickets.
- No arguments over how many have been used: every session is recorded when you scan it.
- Fewer notebooks and fewer spreadsheets.
- A renewal reminder: when the pack runs out, you can notify the customer on their phone.
- With your brand: logo, colours and background photo.
Worth knowing first
Your business decides what it sells, at what price and on what terms: whether the pack expires (when you create it you choose whether it has an expiry date), and whether it can be shared or is personal.
You take payment for the pack yourself, as always: Rondafy doesn't charge your customers, it keeps count of the sessions. The commercial terms of your pack are yours, and it's a good idea to put them in writing for your customers.
To see how it fits your business, a short demo is best: we'll show you by video call or, in Valencia and La Ribera, at your venue.
