What is PerkClub?

PerkClub is membership software that helps independent businesses create recurring revenue through customer subscriptions. A business launches a branded membership in minutes; customers pay a recurring monthly fee through Stripe and redeem perks — a daily coffee, a weekly loaf, a monthly treatment — by showing an Apple or Google Wallet pass that staff scan at the counter.

How does it work?

The business designs a membership (perks, price, daily caps) and shares a branded sign-up link or QR code.
A customer joins in about 30 seconds, pays monthly via Stripe, and adds a pass to Apple or Google Wallet — no app to download.
At the counter, staff scan the member's QR / wallet pass on any device with a camera. PerkClub applies the entitlement and the daily cap in real time.
Stripe pays the takings out to the business's own bank account weekly.

What makes it different?

Many loyalty and billing tools can take a recurring payment. PerkClub's distinction is the redemption and limit engine: it redeems perks in person and enforces daily caps and fair-use limits at the counter, so a "one coffee a day" membership is actually enforceable. It is also white-label (the experience wears the business's brand) and POS-agnostic (it touches no till, so there is nothing to integrate).
