Create digital punch cards and reward repeat visits with Stampza. Build a loyalty program for your small business, replace paper stamp cards, and give customers a simple way to track their rewards. From a coffee shop loyalty program to restaurant rewards, Stampza brings digital loyalty cards, merchant-controlled QR verification, offers, and mobile and web management together. Set your reward rules and help regular customers keep coming back. FOR BUSINESSES • Create Classic, Threshold, or Multi-Step loyalty cards. • Set qualification rules, milestones, and rewards. • Scan a customer’s personal QR code before recording eligible progress. • Invite authorized staff to serve customers. • Verify and redeem earned reward QR codes. • Publish customer offers and send in-app notifications. • Review loyalty activity and customer engagement. • Manage the program from mobile or the web. FOR CUSTOMERS • Keep participating Stampza loyalty cards in one account. • Show a personal QR code during eligible visits. • Track progress toward the next reward. • Present an earned reward QR code for merchant redemption. • View offers and discover participating businesses. • Use the mobile app or supported web experience. BUILT FOR LOCAL BUSINESSES Stampza works for cafés, coffee shops, restaurants, bakeries, salons, barbers, retail stores, wellness businesses, automotive services, and other businesses that reward repeat visits. HOW IT WORKS 1. A business creates a card and publishes clear earning and reward terms. 2. The customer joins and receives a personal QR code. 3. The owner or authorized staff scans the customer QR before recording eligible progress. 4. When a reward is earned, the customer presents the reward QR for merchant redemption. FREE ENTRY AND SUBSCRIPTIONS Free Entry requires no payment card and currently allows a business to create one loyalty card, complete two total stamp transactions, and create one customer offer. After those limits are reached, a business can start a three-day full-access trial. A payment card is required. Unless canceled, the trial changes to monthly billing at the end of three days. A yearly option is also available. Current regional prices and plan details are shown in the app before purchase. Stampza supports loyalty-program management and is not a replacement for a full point-of-sale system. Some functionality requires an internet connection. Download Stampza and turn everyday visits into clear, rewarding customer relationships. Terms of Use (Apple Standard EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
