The client was a national retail chain operating more than 800 physical stores alongside a growing eCommerce presence. The brand served millions of customers annually and ran a large loyalty program, but customer experiences were fragmented across payment systems, loyalty platforms, and marketing tools. Payments happened via cards, rewards lived in a separate loyalty ID, and promotions were pushed through generic email and SMS campaigns, limiting personalization and repeat behavior.
To unify payments, loyalty, and shopping into a single digital touchpoint, the retailer partnered with Zymr to build an eWallet that worked seamlessly across in-store and online channels while improving engagement and lowering transaction costs.
Customers interacted with the brand through disconnected systems that made loyalty feel optional rather than integrated into every purchase, reducing adoption and redemption rates. Loyalty participation was underutilized because rewards visibility was delayed, redemption required extra steps, and customers frequently forgot to use points at checkout. Marketing teams lacked real-time behavior signals, which forced broad campaigns and created promotion fatigue with low conversion. Payment processing costs remained high due to heavy reliance on card rails, and leadership wanted cost reduction without slowing checkout. Any wallet rollout also had to work across a complex store environment, integrating with existing POS systems across hundreds of locations while staying compatible with eCommerce checkout and backend inventory and order workflows.
Zymr helped the retailer turn payments into an engagement engine by unifying wallet, loyalty, and personalization into a single experience customers actually used. The platform drove repeat behavior, improved marketing efficiency, reduced payment costs, and created a scalable foundation for future innovation such as subscriptions, BNPL, partner rewards, and richer omnichannel experiences.
