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 to Use a Temporary Stamp Code
For internal testing with your team
In the rare case a customer has an older phone without NFC
Note: If you’re using a primary method but need to fall back to a temporary Stamp Code, members can press ‘Scan Code Instead’ to switch to the QR camera.
When a new customer scans your Stamp Code for the first time, they’ll also be joined to your Stamp Card automatically.
How to get started with a Temporary Stamp Code:
Download your Stamp Code(s) from your Merchant Console
Print and place them at safe, convenient points (e.g., near or behind the register)
For durability, we recommend laminating or framing your codes.
Note: Stamp Codes are unique per location and per Stamp Card. For example, if you have two locations and set up two stamp cards for each, you will receive four Stamp Codes.
Note: If scanned with a phone camera, the Stamp Code will open the Stamp Me App (if already downloaded) or redirect to the App Store to download it. Stamps are only allocated when scanned through the Stamp Me App.
Best Practices
Because Temporary Stamp Codes don’t expire and can be reused, it’s important to keep them secure. We recommend:
Adding a time delay can be set up between a member's stamp collections if required
Regenerating your Stamp Code regularly in the Manage Stamp Methods area of your Merchant Console
If you’re on a Legacy Console (subscription before 28 March 2023), you will need to contact us for a new Stamp Code.
