Stamp Cards – Settings and Rules

Stamp cards are the classic mechanic where a guest collects stamps for each purchase and gets a reward after a set number — "Buy 10 lunches, the 11th is on us" or "5 coffees, the 6th free". It is one of the oldest and most proven loyalty models, and in Vendion it is the digital alternative to paper cards that get lost easily.

When do stamp cards fit?

Stamp cards are a good choice when:

• You have a clear recurring core product (lunch, coffee, pizza, burger, cocktail)
• You want to reward frequency over volume (100 kr or 300 kr — same number of stamps)
• Guests are regulars or lunch commuters
• You want a simple mechanic that everyone instantly understands

How to create a stamp card:

1. Go to Admin → Marknadsföring → Klippkort.
2. Click "New stamp card".
3. Fill in basic information:
   • Name: Program name displayed to staff and guest, e.g. "Lunch Pass 10" or "Pizza Club".
   • Description: Free text explaining the setup: "Buy 10 lunches — the 11th is on us!".
   • Antal stämplar för belöning: How many stamps are required for reward (e.g. 10).
4. Choose Stämpelregel (see separate articles for each):
   • Per betald order (per paid order) — one stamp per qualifying paid order; a bill containing only loyalty reward items earns no stamp.
   • Per köpt vara i menygrupp (per item bought in a menu group) — one stamp per purchased item from the selected menu group (e.g. "Lunch"). A main group also counts the items in its subgroups.
   • Per köpt menyobjekt (per menu item bought) — stamp per instance of a specific item (e.g. "Espresso").
   • Per order över belopp (kr) (per order over an amount) — stamp per order ≥ N kr (e.g. 150 kr).
5. Configure reward:
   • Free item — select a menu item that becomes free when the reward is redeemed.
   • Discount % — e.g. 100 % (entirely free on next order) or 50 % discount.
   • Reward text — description shown to guest and staff: "Free lunch" or "30 % off next order".
6. Enable the card’s active switch and click Spara alla klippkort.

The editor has no valid-from/to fields. Use the active switch to control availability and review existing stamps before changing a launched program.

Fields for a stamp card:

The reward in the register: Add the reward item to the bill before opening Ta betalt. An available free-item reward discounts one existing unit; it does not automatically add an extra item. Without the item, the reward remains available.

Multiple stamp cards in parallel:

You can have several active stamp cards in parallel — e.g. "Lunch Pass 10" + "Coffee 5" + "Pizza Club". Each guest can be on several at once, and the POS shows all rewards ready to redeem.

Tips:

• Start with a simple stamp card before testing rules
• Name clearly — the guest should understand immediately ("Pizza Club" is clearer than "Program A")
• Discount % = 100 means entirely free — link to a specific menu item instead if you want to restrict
