There are multiple ways members can collect stamps on a Stamp Me punch card. The stamp methods available to you depend on your active plan and how your business operates.
During Trial Mode, you can issue stamps via your Stamp Code. Additional stamp methods, including StampPod™, Stamp Tag and OneStamps, become available once you activate a paid plan.
For a full breakdown of all of our available stamp methods, download our stamping resource.
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
To order your StampPod, head to the Stamp Methods area of your Loyalty Portal.

Note: The StampPod is not supported by the web app (only the native app downloaded from the app store).
2. Stamp Tag
Stamp Tags also works with ‘tap and go’ technology. It is 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
To order your Stamp Tag, head to the Stamp Methods area of your Loyalty Portal.
Note: Stamp Tags are not supported by the web app (only the native app downloaded from the app store).
3. OneStamps (Unique QR code)
Single-use QR codes 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.
Once scanned and a stamp is given, they expire, and cannot be used again.
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 entered once for a stamp, and then expires.
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
A Temporary Stamp Code is a QR code that lets members collect stamps by scanning it in-app. It’s designed as a temporary method of allocating stamps in-person, or as a backup for users without NFC, not as your primary method.
A Stamp Code is multi-use (it will issue a stamp every time it's scanned, and can be scanned multiple times).
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, and consider setting a member stamping time delay.
6. Loyalty Portal
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 Loyalty Portal.
Many physical locations log into the portal 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?
Customers aren't required to download the Stamp Me App to earn stamps. They can collect stamps through our browser-based web app or be issued stamps from the Loyalty Portal). However, encouraging them to download the app unlocks benefits like ability to use StampPods and StampTags, and get more reliable push notifications.
