# Install Loyalty Card on Android - PWA

Learn how to install a digital loyalty card on Android devices via PWA (Progressive Web App)

## **When to Use PWA Installation**

Use the **Progressive Web App (PWA)** method only when Google Wallet or Apple Wallet installation isn’t possible. This method is best if:

-   The customer’s device **doesn’t support Google Wallet**.
    
-   **Google Wallet isn’t available** in the customer’s country.
    
-   The customer **prefers not to use a wallet app**.
    

The PWA option installs the loyalty card as a **web app** directly on the customer’s home screen — providing easy access similar to a native app.

### **Steps to Install (via PWA):**

1.  Go to [**app.Loyally.ai**](https://app.loyally.ai/) > '[**Cards**](https://app.loyally.ai/cards)' > Choose a card to '**Open**'
    
2.  **Choose Installation Method**:
    
    -   **Scan QR Code**: Customers scan the generated QR code.

3.  Once opened, the customer completes the short form with:
    
    1.  First Name
        
    2.  Last Name
        
    3.  Contact Number
        
    4.  Email
        
4.  Tap '**Install on the Home screen**' > **'Enable'** to receive notifications > '**Install**' to finalize.

After these steps, the loyalty card will appear as a **Progressive Web App (PWA)** on the customer’s home screen — ready for quick access anytime.

> **Info:** **Pro Tip for Merchants:** If you are sending the link via SMS or WhatsApp, ensure the customer opens it in **Google Chrome**. Some "in-app" browsers (like the ones inside Facebook or Instagram) may block PWA installation prompts.

> **Success:** **Keep Notifications On:** Encourage customers to **enable notifications** during the setup. This ensures they receive real-up-to-the-minute updates on their **stamps, visits, and rewards** directly on their lock screen.

### **Tip for Best Results**

-   On **Android devices**, installing the loyalty card via **Google Wallet** should be the **first choice** — it provides the most seamless, native experience.
    
-   Use the **PWA method** only when Google Wallet or Apple Wallet isn't supported in the customer’s country, or when the customer prefers a **browser-based option**.
