How Cockato Works Alongside Any POS System
Unlike traditional loyalty platforms that require deep POS integration, Cockato is designed to work independently alongside any point-of-sale system. Whether you use Square, Shopify, Lightspeed, Vend, Tyro, Toast, Clover, or any other POS, you can add a complete loyalty and marketing suite without changing your checkout workflow. The setup is simple: create a free Cockato account, design your loyalty card, and display a QR code at your counter.
When a customer scans the QR code, a branded digital loyalty card is added instantly to their Apple Wallet or Google Wallet. Every subsequent visit earns stamps or points — staff scan the customer's wallet pass in under two seconds. The customer sees their balance update in real-time on their phone, and rewards unlock automatically when they hit their milestone. There's no app to download, no sign-up forms to fill out, and no paper cards to manage.
Cockato also includes a full marketing suite that most POS loyalty add-ons lack. Send SMS text messages and email campaigns to your loyalty members with targeted promotions, birthday rewards, and win-back offers for customers who haven't visited recently. Every campaign includes analytics — open rates, click-throughs, and conversion tracking — so you can see which promotions drive real visits and revenue. Combined with the customer analytics dashboard showing visit frequency, top customers, and churn risk, Cockato gives you the complete retention toolkit that POS systems alone can't provide.
