  • Coffee shops

    Most coffee shops close the card at 10 stamps. With near-daily visits a customer fills it in a fortnight and starts the next one without losing momentum.

  • Restaurants

    At fortnightly visits, eight stamps is four months. A smaller reward at stamp four keeps interest alive halfway through.

  • Barbershops

    Six cuts is half a year of relationship. When someone passes five weeks without returning they land in the at-risk segment while there is still time.

  • Beauty salons

    Keeping birthdays turns an ordinary date into a booked appointment. It is the automation this trade uses most.

    Twelve sessions is the threshold where a habit holds on its own. Gym cards work better short and repeatable than long and distant.

The stamp card, on the phone

Paper worked. The trouble is it gets lost, gets wet, stays in the other jacket, and nobody knows how many stamps are on it.

Works with what you already use.

Your customers keep the card in their phone wallet. You run everything from one dashboard.

It lives on the phone, not in a wallet

The card saves into Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, next to their bank cards. It updates itself after every stamp and says when a reward is ready.

How it works

From nothing to stamping in an afternoon

  1. 1

    Design your card

    Pick how many stamps and what your customer earns. Five minutes.

  2. 2

    Put the QR on the counter

    Your customer scans it and the card lands on their phone. Nothing to install.

  3. 3

    Stamp and see who returns

    Your team scans from their own phone. You see who visits, how often, and what they claim.

What people ask before starting.

All questions
Does my customer have to download an app?

No. They scan a QR code and the card opens in the browser already on their phone. If they want, one tap saves it to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, next to their bank cards.

How long does it take to get running?

An afternoon. Creating and publishing the card is ten minutes; what really takes time is deciding how many stamps and what you are giving away — and that is worth thinking through, because it cannot be changed once customers are collecting.

What about customers who are not comfortable with phones?

Every shop has them. The honest answer is that part of your customers will not use this, and for them paper is still better. Running both for a while is not a failure, it is normal.

Does it work when the internet drops?

The scanner does. It keeps the stamps on your team’s phone and sends them when the connection returns; the customer sees the stamp a moment later. What does not work offline is joining for the first time.

Is the free plan really free, or is it a trial?

There is a permanent Free plan with the card, the scanner and your public page. On top of that, every new business has the premium features open until it reaches 30 customers, so you can judge them on real data before paying anything.

Does it connect to my till or point of sale?

Not yet. Today the stamp is added by scanning from a phone or through kiosk mode — beside the till, not inside it. If your till is the centre of how you work, factor that in before starting.
