At a glance

  • Best for: Local businesses building repeat visits and agencies managing loyalty programs for clients.
  • Strengths: Wallet-based sign-up, flexible stamping methods, customer-retention tools and white-label options.
  • Watch out: Email requires your own SMTP server, and monthly Card Operations are capped and do not roll over.

7stamp is a digital loyalty platform for local businesses and the agencies that serve them. It replaces paper punch cards with branded cards saved directly to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet. Customers join by scanning a QR code, without downloading a separate app or creating an account. Businesses can then award stamps, issue rewards and use messaging tools to encourage repeat visits. Agencies and resellers can also offer the service under their own branding and domains.

Key features

Wallet cards and enrollment

Businesses can design cards in a browser using their logo, colors, stamp artwork and rewards. A single QR code gives customers a way to save a card to their phone’s wallet, and card template versioning lets businesses update the design across cards already issued. The platform supports more than 55 languages.

Flexible ways to award stamps

7stamp offers several workflows for recording visits: staff can scan a customer’s QR code using iOS, Android or a web scanner; customers can use a self-service kiosk; or businesses can use autopilot mode, an Android payment terminal, receipt QR codes, delivery inserts or redeem codes. These options are designed to work without requiring a POS connection. Fiscal receipt scanning is also available in Ukraine, Slovakia, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, where customers can scan the tax authority’s receipt QR code to receive stamps.

Rewards and customer retention

Businesses can set up stamp and milestone rewards, vouchers and lottery rewards. Voucher settings can specify whether staff or customers are allowed to redeem them. Retention tools include unlimited wallet push notifications, automatic birthday rewards, location-based reminders, win-back campaigns, and segmented push and email campaigns. Cards can also run inside a business’s own Telegram or WhatsApp bot.

Reporting and connections

The dashboard covers customer-base growth, activity and redemption rates, and shows how many customers are nearing a reward. Location analytics organized by staff login can help businesses compare locations. For integrations, the page lists direct connections with Poster and Serve, plus Zapier and Make connectors, a REST API and real-time webhooks. Other POS systems can be handled through methods such as staff scanning, redeem codes or receipt QR codes.

Agency and reseller tools

For agencies, the white-label functionality can place the admin panel, customer card page and scanner app on the agency’s own brand and domains. Agencies can manage client businesses from one dashboard, with the option for clients to resell the service under their own brand using nested white-labeling. The page also describes customization of legal text, emails, support contacts and print materials.

Who it is for

7stamp is aimed at businesses that depend on repeat visits, including cafes, restaurants, salons, gyms, retailers, hotels, car washes and delivery operators. Its wallet-based enrollment and varied stamping methods may suit businesses that want a loyalty program without asking customers to install an app or requiring staff to adopt a single checkout workflow.

The reseller capabilities make it relevant to consultants and agencies that manage marketing, websites or POS systems for local businesses. They can operate loyalty programs for multiple clients under their own identity, while the nested option supports clients that also want to resell.

Limitations

Email campaigns require the business to connect its own SMTP server; without that setup, email will not send. Direct POS integrations listed on the page are limited to Poster and Serve, though other systems can connect through the available alternatives. Monthly Card Operations are limited, refresh at the start of each month and do not roll over. The page does not describe the detailed setup or operating requirements for every stamping workflow, so businesses should confirm that their preferred method fits their location and staff routine. Fiscal receipt scanning is specifically described for four countries.

Verdict

7stamp combines wallet-based loyalty cards with several ways to issue stamps, reward customers and bring them back. Its most distinctive fit is for local businesses seeking a no-app customer experience, and for agencies wanting to manage branded loyalty programs for clients. The range of workflows and integration options adds flexibility, but email depends on external SMTP setup, and monthly card-operation limits and the available direct POS connections are worth checking against the intended use.
