Google Wallet
Google Wallet is Google’s application for storing and displaying digital cards, including customer cards. Using it on Android requires a Google Account and the Wallet app.

What this means for your shop
On a guest’s first visit, check that they can open Google Wallet. If the app is missing, they install and set it up. Google’s usage requirements also list the device and software requirements. Google Wallet requires a Google Account; an email address alone is not enough.
The Wallet app holds the card; your loyalty programme sets the collection rule. Contactless payment is a separate function with its own requirements. For Treubar’s camera-scanning routine, guests don’t need to add a bank card to Wallet. If something doesn’t work, first ask whether it is about opening the customer card or making a payment.
How to recognise it
A guest opens Google Wallet and presents your shop’s saved card. Your team scans that pass. The QR code at the counter leads to registration; it is not the guest’s personal record of stamps. On a normal return visit, the guest simply shows the saved card.
With Treubar
Registration takes a first name, surname and date of birth, with no Treubar guest account or email address. The Google Account is separate. The Google Wallet guide explains setup and use.
In Google Wallet, Treubar campaigns currently appear in the card details, without a notification banner. The pass updates automatically after a stamp, and the confirmation in the team app shows your team straight away that the stamp is recorded.
