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.

1. StampPod™
Our unique StampPod™ sits on your countertop and works using ‘tap and go’ technology. Customers simply need to tap their phone on the pod to collect stamps - it’s that quick and easy!
A perfect primary method for physical businesses such as hair & beauty salons, cafes, retail stores, and more
If you're interested in this method, feel free to contact us.

2. Stamp Tag
Stamp Tags also work with ‘tap and go’ technology. They are ideal for environments where staff should carry the stamp validation method on them for presenting to customers to tap, or if the pod is not suitable.
A perfect primary method for physical businesses that need a portable solution such as pubs, restaurants, table service settings, or on-the-go businesses like food trucks or mobile businesses
If you're interested in this method, feel free to contact us.
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. Temporary Stamp Code
Temporary solution for stamping when waiting for your primary method to arrive, for internal testing, or in the case that a customer doesn't have NFC on their phone
Multi-use (they will issue a stamp every time they are scanned and can be scanned multiple times)
A Temporary Stamp Code is a QR code that lets members collect stamps by scanning it with the in-app camera. It’s designed as a temporary method of allocating stamps in-person, not as your primary method.
When a new customer scans your Temporary Stamp Code for the first time, they’ll also be joined to your Stamp Card automatically.
To prevent misuse, it should always be accessible to staff but not left out for customers to scan on their own. It should not be printed or shared on any marketing materials.
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.
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).
