What Square Loyalty does that we don't
Square Loyalty is wired into the till: customers enrol at the point of sale, through the Square site or from an invoice, and points can be earned by visit, by spend or by item.
“Customers can sign up at your point of sale, through your Square website, via an invoice.” — their own page
Who should stay with Square Loyalty
If you need points attaching to a card tender at the till automatically, stay with Square - Loyalora records points against a customer record and processes no payments at all. Full honest limitations are on the product page.
Why owning beats renting Square Loyalty
- One payment. No monthly, per-seat, or per-location fees — the license is perpetual.
- Your data stays on your server. It never lives in Square Loyalty's cloud.
- No plan ceilings. Records and users are limited by your hosting, not a pricing tier.
- It keeps working if the vendor doesn't. Self-hosted software can't be sunset or price-hiked out from under you.
Fair trade-offs: you host it, back it up, and apply updates yourself — see the product page for honest limitations, and the full Loyalora — Self-Hosted Loyalty & Rewards Register: Points, Rewards, Redemptions vs Square Loyalty comparison.
