## What Sharaftona does (quick answer)

Sharaftona replaces paper punch cards and expensive custom loyalty apps with branded digital passes that live in Apple Wallet (every iPhone) and Google Wallet (every Android phone). Customers scan a QR code; the pass installs in seconds. Merchants run stamp cards, points programs, or tiered rewards from one dashboard, send lock-screen push notifications, and track repeat visits in real time. Setup takes under 30 minutes. No app for customers to download. No code to write.
