Stamp program

A stamp program is a collection mechanism that records qualifying actions as stamps. Reaching the defined target makes a specified reward available.

What this means for your shop

The most important decision is what earns a stamp. Does a qualifying visit count, a purchased product or another clearly described action? A clear rule means customers and staff read the same purchase the same way. The card itself does not answer the question.

A stamp programme can run on paper or digitally. Moving it into a Wallet changes the medium and keeps the collection rule. A number shown on a digital card remains a stamp balance when it counts the same qualifying actions. A variable points model is a different mechanism.

How to recognise it

In an example café programme, a customer earns a stamp for a paid visit that includes an eligible drink. Buying a pastry as well would not earn another stamp under that rule. If the programme counted each eligible drink instead, the same purchase could be treated differently. Both versions need unambiguous wording.

Reaching the target and redeeming the reward remain separate steps. A completed card first shows that the reward is available. Also decide whether a visit solely to collect a reward earns a new stamp under your rules.
