A Join Code is a code for your marketing which allows a customer to both download the Stamp Me app and join a stamp card, when it is scanned within the Stamp Me app.
It is not used for stamping. However, members will get join stamps once they sign up, if you have set this up.
Format of the Join Code
By default, we provide a QR code version for every Stamp Card.
An alphanumeric Join Code, which members can type into the App, (for example “joinjoes”) is available on request.
*Please note: If you choose to request an alphanumeric Join Code, it will replace your default QR code version.
Functionality of a Join Code
When a QR Join Code is scanned with a phone camera, it will direct people to download Stamp Me on their App Store, or open the Stamp Me app if they already have it downloaded.
When scanned within the Stamp Me App, it will join the member to the Stamp Card.
A Join Code can be used multiple times by different members, but it will only join a member once. A message is shown that a member is already joined, if they scan the code in-app again.
How to use Join Codes:
Your Join Code is for publicly promoting your loyalty program.
It can be included on various marketing materials (or told to customers if it is an alphanumeric code).
For example, it can be put on flyers, posters, social media and websites, along with the instruction to download Stamp Me and scan or enter it in-app, to join your program.
You can find customisable marketing posters and social media tiles in the Resources area of the Merchant Console.
