Switching from Beambox to LoyaltyPass
Beambox captures emails through WiFi login. LoyaltyPass issues branded wallet passes customers carry every day. Export your contacts, import them, and launch your loyalty program in under two hours.
Why businesses leave Beambox
These are the friction points that push merchants to switch.
Beambox is a WiFi marketing platform, not a dedicated loyalty program. The loyalty features are secondary and limited compared to purpose-built loyalty tools.
Beambox requires compatible WiFi hardware. Businesses that change networking setup or close a location lose access to the platform entirely.
There are no native Apple Wallet or Google Wallet passes. Customer engagement happens through email follow-ups, not a card customers carry on their phone.
What gets better with LoyaltyPass
- +
A purpose-built loyalty program with stamp cards, points, and push notifications: not a WiFi marketing add-on.
- +
Customers carry a branded wallet pass in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, giving them a persistent loyalty artifact they open regularly.
- +
No hardware dependency. Staff scan wallet passes with the free LoyaltyPass merchant app on any smartphone.
- +
Works for any business regardless of networking setup, location, or WiFi configuration.
How to migrate, step by step
Follow these steps in order. Most businesses complete the full switch in a single afternoon.
- 1
Export your customer list from Beambox
Log into your Beambox dashboard and navigate to the Customers or Contacts section. Export your guest list as a CSV. The file includes email addresses and any profile data Beambox collected through WiFi login.
10 minutes - 2
Set up your LoyaltyPass program
Sign up at LoyaltyPass, choose your program type (stamp card or points), upload your logo, pick your brand colors, and set your reward rules.
10 minutes - 3
Import your customer list
Upload the Beambox CSV to LoyaltyPass. Map the name and email columns. Because Beambox does not track loyalty stamps or points, all customers will start with a zero balance, which is expected.
15 minutes - 4
Send wallet pass links to your customers
Use the LoyaltyPass bulk send feature to email each customer their new Apple Wallet or Google Wallet pass link. Include a short note explaining the new loyalty program and what they can earn.

Print and place the enrollment QR code
LoyaltyPass generates a QR code for new customers to scan and join. Print it on a counter card and place it where customers pay. New walk-ins can enrol without any email collection needed.
10 minutes - 6
Wind down your Beambox account
Once your loyalty program is running, cancel your Beambox subscription if you no longer need the WiFi marketing features. Export any data you want to retain for records.
5 minutes
What happens to your customer data
Beambox collects customer emails through WiFi login but does not track loyalty stamps or points. When you import into LoyaltyPass, all customers start with a zero balance, which is normal for this migration. Consider giving early enrollees a bonus stamp or two as a goodwill gesture for adopting the new program.
