How the shopping cart token works

Lost your keys? The cart token brings them back.

The cart token hangs on the keyring – and the hiddencontact® contact function makes it traceable. No app, no subscription, free for your customers for life.

Contact page after scanning the shopping cart token – the finder contacts the owner anonymously
  1. Scan the QR code

    Whoever finds the keys – in the car park or in the store – scans the token with a smartphone.

  2. The open profile appears

    The owner decides which notes are visible – e.g. “Please hand in at the information desk”.

  3. Contact anonymously

    The message reaches the owner in real time – their contact details stay hidden.

Your brand on every scan: The contact page carries your logo and a link to your offer – on the keyring at every shopping trip. Always included.

Your customers can add calls, WhatsApp or SMS themselves if needed – at no cost to you.

Guidance for buyers

Shopping cart token or shopping cart chip?

Both replace the deposit coin — but as a promotional item they differ significantly in how often, and how visibly, your logo actually reaches the user. This overview shows what matters when choosing between them.

Criterion Shopping Cart Token Shopping Cart Chip
Suitability as a promotional item
Print area Generous, often double-sided — plenty of room for logo, slogan, and brand colors Small and usually single-sided — limited space for the brand message
Everyday availability Stays on the keychain, always at hand Kept in the wallet — often forgotten on spontaneous shopping trips
Risk of loss for the user Stays on the keychain, can’t get lost in the cart Sits in the lock during shopping — more often forgotten or lost
System compatibility Only fits slot-style systems (a clear majority of carts, but not all) Somewhat more universal — also fits drawer-style systems
Add-on functions Combines well with a bottle opener or QR/NFC contact function Usually a pure coin function only
Unit cost at high volume Slightly higher — but more brand impact per contact Cheaper to produce, ideal for very large quantities

What happens on the first scan?

The first scan belongs to your brand.

During setup, your customer is paying close attention – the moment of highest engagement. That is exactly when your own page can appear first.

  1. 01

    First scan

    Your customer scans the QR code to set up their product.

  2. 02

    Your page

    Your message appears – a review request, discount code or newsletter.

  3. 03

    Activation in 2 minutes

    One tap on “Continue to activation” – the profile is set up.

  4. 04

    Contact function in your branding

    Every later scan, e.g. by a finder or helper, goes straight to the contact function.

Your logo First scan only

Great to see you!

Your welcome bonus: €5 off any purchase of €30 or more.
