How to create a stamp card
Upon successful login, navigate to the left-hand menu.
From the list of modules, click the
icon. Doing so opens the Cards module.
Here, you can either create a card using a template from a list of a wide range of pre-loaded templates or create one from scratch. To develop a better understanding, we will take a look at card creation from scratch.
To do so, click the
button.
This initiates the stamp card creation workflow. A card is created by filling in the details in 5 sections that include Card Type, Settings, Design, Information, and Save and preview. Let us take a look at how each section works.
Card Type
This is the first section. Here, you make a selection regarding the type of card you want to create.
From the available card types, click Stamp.
Once selected, click the Continue button. As a result, you land on the Settings section.
Settings
In the Settings section, you can define how your stamp card works — from barcode type and reward logic to expiration rules, language, card fields, and more. Use this page to shape how customers interact with your loyalty program.
Barcode Type Choose how the card will be scanned and recognized by your system. You can simply select the appearance you like.
Rewards Program Choose how customers will earn stamps.
Spend — Customers earn stamps based on how much they spend. Visit — Customers earn one stamp per visit, regardless of the amount spent. Stamps — Each visit equals one manually-issued stamp. Custom rules (like “1 stamp for every 3 visits”) must be applied manually. Restrict to 1 check-in per day — Customers receive stamps only once per day, even if they visit multiple times.
⚠️ The system does not support automatic custom rules (like “1 stamp for every 3 visits” or “only for purchases over $20”).
How do you want to reward your customers? A field where you specify the reward name (e.g., “Free Coffee”) and the reward cost.
Happy hours A setting that allows you to select a time period during which customers receive an increased number of stamps based on your chosen logic. ❗ Works only with Spend and Visit modes.
Card Expiration Unlimited — The card never expires. Fixed term — The card becomes inactive after the selected date but stays on the customer’s phone. Fixed term after card issuing — Set the number of days from card activation until it expires.
Stamp Life Define how long each stamp is valid after it is earned. Each stamp expires individually based on when it was added. ⚠️ If stamps have already reached the reward threshold, they will not expire. Rewards never expire.
Example: If validity is set to 1 month and a stamp is earned on April 5, it expires on May 5.
Locations Enter one or more locations to enable geolocation push notifications. Customers with the card in Apple Wallet receive a push when they come within 100 meters. These locations can be any address, not necessarily your business location.
Card Language Select the language of the stamp card.
Date & Number Formats Date Format — Defines how dates appear on the card. Thousands / Decimal Separators — Irrelevant for stamp cards (they do not use points).
Purchase Amount When Charging — When enabled, the purchase amount must be entered during each scanner transaction. ✅ Applies only to scanner transactions.
Card Issuing Form & UTM Tags Card Issuing Form — Define which fields appear during card installation. Phone number or email is required. You can add fields, rename them, delete them, mark them as Required, or set them as Unique (recommended only for phone numbers). ⚠️ Avoid making Name, Surname and Date of Birth unique — customers with the same name would not be able to install the card.
UTM Tags — Create trackable installation links. Highlightcards will generate a UTM-tagged URL and a QR code so you can track where installs come from.
Phone Mask & Privacy Settings Phone Mask — Select the default country prefix. Privacy Policy — Display a privacy-policy checkbox during installation. Text can be edited. Consent to the processing of personal data — Adds a checkbox allowing customers to agree to personal data use for marketing purposes. The text is fully customizable.
Google Wallet Installation Button If enabled, the Google Wallet button appears on the installation form so customers can instantly add their loyalty card to Google Wallet.
PWA Installation Button If enabled, customers can install the loyalty card as a Progressive Web App (PWA) — it behaves like a mobile app without requiring an app-store download.
Usage Limits & Starting Bonuses Limit the number of cards issued — Controls how many cards can be distributed (0 = unlimited). Limit the number of stamp accruals per day — Controls how many stamps a customer can earn per day (resets at midnight). Number of stamps when issuing a card — Sets the starting number of stamps on a new card. Number of birthday stamps — Adds extra stamps on the customer’s birthday. This stamp has no expiration date.
Analytics If you want to include a custom analytics script, insert it into the Analytics field.
