How a Digital Loyalty Card Works

Four simple steps, from setup to your first returning customer.

STEP 1

Set Up Your Card

Choose your programme type: stamps, points, or tiers. Customise your branding, set your reward threshold, and you're ready.

STEP 2

Customers Join via QR

Share your join link or place a QR code on the counter. Customers download the free Stampet app to join and can also add their card to Apple or Google Wallet for quick access.

STEP 3

Staff Add Stamps

Your staff use the Stampet Staff app to scan the customer's QR code and add stamps or points. One tap, done. Works with any smartphone.

STEP 4

Customers Redeem

When they hit the reward threshold, redemption is automatic. No awkward conversations, no manual tracking. Just a delighted customer.

Why Digital Beats Paper Loyalty Cards

Paper stamp cards served UK businesses well for decades. But in a mobile-first world, they're holding you back.

No more lost cards

19% of paper cards are lost or forgotten. Digital cards live on the customer's phone, always accessible.

Real customer data

See visit frequency, popular times, and top customers. Paper cards give you zero insights.

No reprinting costs

Paper cards cost £50-200/month. Digital programmes start free and update instantly when you change your offer.

GDPR-friendly data

Collect customer contact details with consent. Build a direct relationship instead of anonymous transactions.
