There are multiple ways members can collect a stamp on a Stamp Me punch card. You are able to use any/all of these methods, depending on your plan, and which is most suitable for how you operate.
Stamp Me is a standalone loyalty solution, so it doesn’t require direct integration with your POS system. This makes it quick to set up and easy to use alongside your existing tools.

3. OneStamps (QR code)
Single-use QR codes that can be placed on products, packaging or digital content. Ideal for takeaway or online businesses, especially in situations where in-person transactions are minimal or non-existent.
Can be printed on receipts, including on takeaway products such as pizza boxes or flyers inside packaging
4. OneStamps (text)
Unique alphanumeric codes, like “DEMO123” or “DEMO124” that can be scanned once to apply a stamp and expire after each scan.
They can be placed on products, packaging, or digital content.
Ideal for takeaway or online businesses, especially in situations where in-person transactions are minimal or non-existent.
5. StampCode
Default stamp validation for physical stores / in-person transactions
Multi-use
Good for high transaction volume situations
A Stamp Code is a QR code that is unique to each loyalty Stamp Card and location. Members simply scan it through the Stamp Me App each time they wish to collect a stamp.
The code can be printed out and kept at each transaction point, and presented by staff.
The code does not expire, therefore, it will issue a stamp each time it is scanned. This is why it is good to keep it in a safe place where staff can monitor it.
More secure methods are recommended and available, but you can always use this as your primary method if it suits your business best.
6. Merchant Console
Suitable for both face-to-face and remote transactions
Web-based platform
Good for low-to-medium volume transaction volumes
An admin can add stamps to member Stamp Cards and complete other management actions through the Stamp Me Merchant Console.
Many physical locations log into the console on an ipad or desktop, to apply stamps throughout the day.
This method is also ideal to issue stamps for online transactions. For example, an online service where the customer does not receive a physical product, like booking a hotel stay.
Do People Need to Download the App to Get Stamps?
While customers aren't required to download the Stamp Me App to earn stamps (click here to see how to issue stamps from the Console), encouraging them to do so unlocks benefits like self-service stamp/reward viewing, direct communication (SMS & push notifications), and engagement features (Birthday Club, Scratch & Win).
