Overview

A stamp-type loyalty card is a simple, visual rewards program where customers collect digital stamps for repeat purchases. Once they complete the required number, they unlock a reward — like a free item or discount.

This model is highly effective for businesses that rely on regular customer visits, such as:

Cafes
Restaurants
Salons
Barbershops
Boutiques

Stamp cards are intuitive for both staff and customers and create a strong habit loop that keeps people coming back.

How It Works

Card Issuance
Customers receive a digital Stamp Card when they join your loyalty program.
Stamp Collection
For every qualifying purchase (e.g., coffee, meal, haircut), they collect a digital stamp.
Reward Redemption
After collecting the required number of stamps (e.g., 8), they unlock a reward like a free item or discount.
Repeat
After redemption, a new cycle begins!

Real Example

“Buy 8 coffees, and your 9th is on us!”
Ideal for cafes, juice bars, bakeries, beauty salons, etc.

Card expiration

Choose how long your loyalty card stays valid:

Fixed Date: Expires on a chosen date (e.g., Dec 31, 2025)
Relative Date: Expires X days/months/years after card issuance

Note: If you enable card expiration after the card has already been issued, the expiration rule will apply only to cards created or updated from that point onward. Likewise, if you disable expiration later, cards issued during the active period will still follow the expiration rule—only newly issued cards will remain unaffected.

Stamp Expiration

Set an expiration for individual stamps:

Fixed: All stamps expire on a specific date
Relative: Each stamp expires based on when it was earned (e.g., 12 months later)

Note: If you enable stamp expiration after the card has been issued, it will only apply to stamps collected from that point forward. Similarly, if you later disable this feature, stamps issued during the active period will still retain their expiration settings—only future stamps will be unaffected.
