Geo-notifications

The main goal of geo-notifications is to remind nearby members of your loyalty program that you are there and waiting for them. Depending on the situation, you may need several messages or one message for all locations.

One message for all geo points

  1. Go to Push messages and click Create push message.
  2. Select Geo-push. For easier search later, enter a name for the push above the preview. Then fill in the tabs to the right of the preview.
  3. Open Message and enter the text in Your text.
  4. Open Geo point, then click Add point. Enter the location name and coordinates (you can add up to 10 points).
  5. Open Templates and select the card template.
  6. Switch the toggle at the bottom to Enabled, click Save, then click Update all cards.

To set up several messages for different locations, follow the same steps, but create several messages — repeat the procedure two or more times.

Important details

  • When you set up notifications, you need to update the card template for all customers.
  • After you send the update, issued cards update within 2–14 days. Data for the specified point is cached on customers' devices.
  • Push settings work in Apple Wallet on iOS and PassWallet on Android (these apps only allow the cardholder to turn push notifications off).
  • You cannot set how often notifications are sent.
  • Geo-notifications appear on the customer's lock screen when they are within 100 meters of the specified point (you cannot change the radius; it is defined by the Apple standard).
