Flowhub + Sticky Cards: The Ultimate Loyalty Stack for Cannabis Retailers

Flowhub + Sticky Cards: The Ultimate Loyalty Stack for Cannabis Retailers

If you’re using Flowhub to run your dispensary, you already have one of the most powerful POS systems in cannabis retail. But when it comes to customer retention and loyalty, most POS platforms stop short and that’s exactly where Sticky Cards picks up the baton.

Together, Flowhub + Sticky Cards give you the ultimate loyalty stack: fast checkouts, seamless operations, and a fully branded loyalty program that lives on your customer’s lock screen.

Let’s break it down.

Why POS Systems Can’t Do It All (And Shouldn’t Try To)

Flowhub excels at:

  • Real-time inventory syncing

  • Smooth, compliant transactions

  • Integrated cannabis-specific workflows

  • Staff and location management

But loyalty? That’s not its core mission.

And frankly, it shouldn’t be.

POS systems are built for sales — not post-sale engagement. That’s where a dedicated loyalty layer like Sticky Cards gives your tech stack superpowers.

Sticky Cards Turns Flowhub Sales into Long-Term Loyalty

With Sticky Cards layered on top of Flowhub, every transaction becomes the start of an ongoing relationship:

  • Customers receive a branded loyalty card after checkout

  • The card lives in Apple or Google Wallet — no app needed

  • You send free, branded push messages to drive return visits

  • Loyalty runs in the background, automatically

No logins. No extra work for your staff. No SMS costs. Just effortless loyalty that works.

How It Works: Flowhub + Sticky in Action

Here’s the real-world flow:

  1. A customer checks out at your dispensary via Flowhub

  2. They see a prompt: “Save Your Loyalty Card”

  3. With one tap, they add a branded wallet pass

  4. Days later, they get a push notification:
    “🔥 New Drop Just Landed — Tap to View”

  5. They walk back in with card in hand — ready to buy again

No friction. No forgotten apps. Just smarter loyalty.
