Card types
A StampyWallet card works in one of three modes, stamps, multiple rewards (tiers) or points, and each mode comes in several shapes.
Which mode should you choose?
| Mode | The customer earns | Best for |
|---|---|---|
tampons | One stamp per visit, one reward at the end | Cafés, bakeries, barbers |
paliers | Several better and better rewards, on the same counter | Beauty salons, nails, florists, restaurants |
points | Points at every visit, based on the amount or the service | Grocery stores, wine shops, varying baskets |
Note : you can change mode later, in Your card › Change type. No customer loses their progress: their stamps stay on their card (in points mode, they count as points). Your design and colors stay too.
Stamps
The classic paper card: one stamp per visit, one reward at the end, then the card starts over. The number of slots goes from 2 to 50.
Four shapes: slots (the grid), no slots (scattered stamps), objects (large shaded objects, ideal with a photo of your product) and circles.
Multiple rewards (tiers)
Up to eight rewards on the same counter, for example a coffee at 5 visits, a croissant at 10, a breakfast at 20. Each tier has its threshold, its label and its photo or icon.
Five shapes on top of stamps: path (a road where each visit moves the customer forward), showcase (rewards side by side), medals, fill (the next reward shown large, filling with color) and ring.
Design the card for Boulangerie Lemaire with tiers:
- 5 visits: a croissant
- 10 visits: a baguette
- 20 visits: a king cake{
"nom": "Boulangerie Lemaire",
"mode": "paliers",
"paliers": [
{ "a": 5, "recompense": "A croissant" },
{ "a": 10, "recompense": "A baguette" },
{ "a": 20, "recompense": "A king cake" }
]
}Points
Points at every visit, when the basket varies a lot from one customer to the next. Rewards are earned at point thresholds, with the same five shapes as tiers.
In Your card › More settings › Points:
- Points per visit: the default value offered by the scanner.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between stamps, tiers and points?

Can I change card type later?
Yes, in Your card › Change type. No customer loses their progress: their stamps stay on their card, and count as points in points mode. Your design and colors stay too.
How many boxes can a stamp card have?
From 2 to 50 boxes.
Can I give a stamp based on the receipt total?
