The loyalty program for shops in Nepal

Eknas is a loyalty program for cafés, restaurants, bakeries, salons, gyms and shops in Nepal. Customers earn 1 point for every rupee they spend and turn points into rewards the shop chooses, like a free momo plate or a haircut. Shops get a digital loyalty card, a counter app, offers and a public page.

Each time you pay, the shop records your bill on your Eknas card and adds 1 point per NPR 1. When your points reach a reward, it appears in your app. You ask for a one-time code, show it at the counter, and staff confirm it. Points above the goal carry over to the next round.

Yes. Customers never pay Eknas anything. You create a free account with your email, add your mobile number, date of birth and city, and then collect points at every shop on Eknas. Rewards are paid for by the shops that run them, as part of their loyalty program.

No, but it helps. Eknas works in your phone's browser, and there is a free Eknas app for Android with the same account, cards and rewards. Shops can also find you at the counter by your mobile number, so you can earn even before you open the app.

Plans are priced per location in Nepalese rupees with 13% VAT included. Starter is NPR 799 a month, Growth NPR 1,999 and Pro NPR 4,999. Paying yearly costs less. Every plan starts with a 3-day free trial, and you can change plans or cancel from Billing.

Yes. On Growth and above you can run a digital stamp card: customers get a stamp for every set amount they spend, for example one stamp per NPR 800, and the reward comes after a set number of stamps. Starter uses the points bar.

Eknas works for shops anywhere in Nepal. Today you can collect points at shops in Kathmandu. Open the shops directory and choose your city to see which cafés, restaurants, salons and gyms give points, with their rewards, menus and opening hours.

You keep them. Under the Customer Reward Protection Policy, a shop that stops its program must give you at least 30 days to redeem what you have earned. You get the exact final date in the app and by email, with reminders 7 days and 1 day before it.

No. eSewa and Fonepay points come from payments and are redeemed through Fonepoints partners. Eknas is each shop's own loyalty card: you earn points from your bill at that shop, however you pay, and redeem rewards that shop chose. You can use both side by side.
