How does Stampet compare to T-Point or Ponta?

T-Point and Ponta are massive coalition programmes used by chains and franchises. Stampet is designed for independent businesses that want their own branded loyalty programme: simpler, more personal, and entirely under your control.

Will my older customers be able to use Stampet?

Stampet is designed to be incredibly simple. Customers show their universal QR code and you scan it, a familiar interaction in a market where QR codes are second nature. No complicated registration required.

Can I use Stampet for my izakaya or ramen shop?

Stampet is perfect for food and beverage businesses. Customers show their QR code at the till, and your staff scan it to add stamps with each visit. It's as simple as the paper cards your customers already know and love.

Does Stampet work alongside existing point systems?

Yes. Stampet is independent and complementary. Customers can collect your stamps in addition to any T-Point or Ponta points they earn through payment methods.

Mobile Payments & Digital Commerce

Japan's payment landscape blends traditional and modern. While cash remained dominant longer than in other developed markets, mobile payments have surged through PayPay, Line Pay, Rakuten Pay, and IC card systems like Suica and Pasmo. Point collection (poikatu) is a national pastime, with consumers actively seeking ways to earn and optimise reward points.

Customer Loyalty in Japan

The Loyalty Landscape

Japan has one of the world's most sophisticated loyalty ecosystems. The concept of point collection is deeply embedded in consumer culture. Major programmes like T-Point, Ponta, Rakuten Points, and dPoint each serve tens of millions of members. However, many independent businesses still rely on paper stamp cards (sutanpu kaado), creating an opportunity for digital transformation.

Consumer Behaviour

Japanese consumers are meticulous point collectors. Surveys show the average person belongs to multiple loyalty programmes and actively compares earning rates. Paper stamp cards at local shops are a cultural staple, and customers genuinely enjoy filling them. This makes Japan uniquely receptive to digital stamp card solutions that enhance an already beloved experience.
