Adding a Card

Scan the barcode or type the number, pick a type and a colour, and save. Number-only cards are handled too.

Quick start

Tap Add card in your wallet. Choose the card type, then either scan the barcode using the scan button in the Card Number field, or type the number in by hand. Give the card a name, and save.

Add card screen with card type chips, number field and colour picker
Card type, number (with scan button), name, and background colour.

That covers most cards. Read on for number-only cards, colours, and the extra options tab.

Going deeper

Card type

The chips at the top — Rewards, Gift, Member, Other — decide how the card behaves and which group it lands in. Gift cards gain a PIN and a balance; the others stay focused on the barcode. You can add your own types too.

Cards with no barcode

Some membership cards are just a number. Turn on No barcode — show the number and Cardly displays the number in large type instead of drawing a barcode, which is exactly what the cashier needs to key in.

Name and colour

The name is what you will see in your wallet, so use whatever you actually call the shop. Background Colour sets the tile colour — pick from your palette, which you can edit in Settings.

The Options tab

The Options tab alongside Details holds the extras for the card, such as the shop it belongs to and, for gift cards, the PIN and balance. You can leave it alone when adding a card and fill it in later by editing the card.

Starring as you go

The star in the top corner marks the card as a favourite as you save it, so it goes straight to the top of your wallet.
