  2. Navigate to 'Send Push' section.

  3. Here, you can create PUSH notifications for a card-triggered event to show on the customer's lock screen.

How long does it take for push messages to be received by our customers?

Push messages usually arrive in 20-30 seconds, but delivery times can vary because of how Android and iOS handle notifications.

If a user is on their phone or has the card open, the message might not show up right away, and this is controlled by Apple and Google, not us.

To see if a message was received, check the 'Latest Updates' on the customer's card to confirm message receipt.


Why aren't my customers receiving push messages? (Common reasons for non-delivery)

Here are some reasons why your customers may not receive push messages from you.

  1. Card Not Installed: Push messages require the card to be installed in Apple Wallet, Google Wallet, or PWA. Check the 'Card Status' under your 'Customers' section. If it's 'not installed', you'll need to send them their unique card link to install it.

  2. Automatic Updates Off: On iOS devices, customers may not receive updates if they've turned off 'Automatic Updates'.

  3. Push Notifications Disabled: on Android devices (with Google Wallet or PWA), customers may not receive updates if they’ve disabled ‘Get notifications for this loyalty card’.
