In-store POS. Same card, same customer graph. Waiter sees the loyalty prompt before the receipt prints — no app, no QR, no staff training.
How it works

The tap is the identification.

No loyalty app download. No QR scan. No staff prompt. A shopper taps any card they've used before — in any of your stores, online or in-person — and Paybyrd surfaces their full history before the auth even clears.

  1. 1
    Shopper taps any card

    Contact / contactless / tokenised wallet — Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Click to Pay, iDEAL, MB WAY. Any Paybyrd surface (terminal, web, mobile, kiosk).

  2. 2
    Network token + BIN fingerprint

    We never see the PAN. Paybyrd's vault receives the Visa / Mastercard network token (NTF-compliant) and a salted BIN + last-4 fingerprint. Both are durable identifiers — survive card replacements, re-issues, and channel hops.

  3. 3
    Match against customer graph · <200ms

    The token + fingerprint are matched against the merchant's customer graph at the same time the transaction is being authorised. Returning shoppers are identified before the auth response reaches the terminal.

  4. 4
    Rules fire · loyalty, discount, webhook

    Your rules (editable by marketing, no engineering release) fire inline: apply a discount, trigger a promotional tier, fire a webhook to your CRM, send an SMS. All before the receipt prints.

Why network tokens
The durable identifier.

A network token is the issuer-approved, scheme-issued reference for a specific card-on-a-device combination. Unlike a raw PAN, it survives the things that normally break identification:

  • Card replacement — shopper's card is lost/stolen, replaced with a new PAN. The network token updates silently; identification still works.
  • Card-expiry refresh — new expiry, same token.
  • Channel hops — same token whether the shopper taps in-store, checks out online, or pays in the mobile app.
  • PCI scope — tokens are out-of-scope for most PCI questionnaires. Merchant stays SAQ A-EP.

Paybyrd is a Visa / Mastercard network-token-eligible platform. We provision tokens on first tap where issuers support it, and fall back to BIN + last-4 salted fingerprints where tokens aren't yet available. Either way, the identification layer is the same for your rules engine — you don't need to branch on whether a token exists.

What merchants run today

Four patterns, all live.

Loyalty at tap
Reward on the card they're already using.

A hotel guest taps the same card they used last summer. The system recognises them, applies their returning-guest rate, and pushes a thank-you SMS — all before the receipt prints. No QR code, no app, no staff training.

Personalised discounts
The right offer, the right customer, the right moment.

A high-LTV shopper gets a silent 10% courtesy discount on a €500+ basket, applied before the terminal displays the total. A first-time shopper gets a welcome voucher on their confirmation email. The rule fires on identification; your team sets the thresholds.

"We missed you" campaigns
Re-engage cooling-off customers, automatically.

The purchase-frequency heatmap shifts a customer from "hot" to "warm" — Paybyrd fires a webhook to your CRM. Your CRM drops a targeted campaign. The customer comes back; identification at their next tap closes the loop. Revenue reattributed to the campaign automatically.

Tiered service at the POS
Your top 1% get the concierge treatment.

A Tier-1 customer's card is recognised at the restaurant terminal — the sommelier gets a subtle on-screen prompt to greet them by name and offer the pairing flight. A first-time diner gets the welcome flow. Same staff, same terminal, different service.

Common questions

About Customer Intelligence.

How does Paybyrd identify returning customers?
BIN + last-4 fingerprinting plus network-token continuity where available. When a shopper taps a card they've used before — in-store, online, or on mobile — Paybyrd recognises them in under 200ms and surfaces their full history to the dashboard (purchase frequency, spend trend, store coverage). No separate loyalty login, no QR code scan, no staff prompt. The tap is the identification.
Does this require PCI-sensitive storage?
No. Identification runs on network tokens and BIN + last-4 metadata — never the PAN. PCI scope stays at SAQ A-EP. Every identifier is a salted fingerprint, not a raw card number, so even a full database extract would not expose cardholders.
When did Paybyrd ship this versus Adyen's announcement?
Paybyrd shipped Customer Intelligence to production in February 2026 — built in-house. Adyen's CEO publicly announced their intention to acquire Talon.One (an external loyalty engine) on 23 April 2026. Adyen's integrated product will depend on regulatory approval of the acquisition and subsequent engineering integration, typically a 12–18 month path. Paybyrd customers have been running the capability live for 2+ months.
Can I trigger loyalty rewards at the moment of payment?
Yes. Custom rules run inside the Paybyrd decisioning engine at the moment of tap — issue a discount, trigger a promotional tier, fire a webhook to your CRM, send an SMS. Rules are editable by your marketing team without an engineering release. We also expose a webhook feed of identification events if you want to route them into your own loyalty engine.
Which Paybyrd customers are running this in production?
TAP Air Portugal, Vila Galé, Prozis, KuantoKusta, and Rede Expressos are among the merchants running Customer Intelligence live. Combined they process hundreds of thousands of transactions per month through the identification pipeline with sub-200ms decisions.
Is Customer Intelligence part of the Paybyrd platform or an add-on?
It's part of the core platform — included in the headline rate, no separate SKU. Same logic as our fraud stack: we'd rather price comprehensively than nickel-and-dime features one by one.

See the dashboard. Not the slide deck.

15 minutes. A senior engineer walks you through Customer Intelligence on a live sandbox — the exact dashboard your team would run. No NDA pitch, no pipeline screening. Just the product.
