Done with paper.Welcome to digital stamp cards.
Paper cards work. Until they get lost. Cashews replaces classic stamp cards with a digital solution that's easier for customers and far more efficient for businesses.
What is a digital stamp card?
A digital stamp card replaces the traditional paper stamp card with a digital version on the customer's phone. Customers collect a stamp after an eligible purchase and, once they reach the required number, redeem a reward defined by the business.
Why go digital
Why use digital stamp cards at all?
Many businesses have used paper cards for years. The basics work. But paper brings its own challenges.
- Cards get lost.
- Customers forget them at home.
- There are no insights or reports.
- Rewards are hard to track.
- Multiple locations are hard to manage.
Digital stamp cards solve exactly these problems.
Benefits
The benefits at a glance

When a paper card goes missing, the collected stamps usually go with it. With a free Cashews account, stamps are preserved — even after switching devices.
Easy for staff
One QR code is enough. No complicated operation. No training.
Quick to set up
No connection to a POS system is needed. Create your business. Set up rewards. Get going.

Stamps and rewards are issued digitally via QR code. Rewards can only be redeemed once.
Modern loyalty
Digital stamp cards look more professional and lay the groundwork for later marketing campaigns.
How it works
How Cashews works
Cashews runs a simple flow: a business creates a digital stamp card and defines a reward. When a customer comes in, the business or an employee issues a stamp through a QR code in the Cashews app. The customer scans the code, the stamp is added to their card, and the progress is stored digitally. Once the customer reaches the required number of stamps, they can redeem the configured reward.
Create your business
Set up your business in a few minutes.
Define a reward
For example: 10 stamps → 1 free coffee, 15 stamps → free muffin. Or any reward you choose.
Place your QR code
After signing up you receive a free starter kit with high-quality QR code stickers. Place them at the checkout or entrance.
Customers collect digitally
The customer scans the QR code. The employee issues the stamp. Fast. Secure. Digital.
Redeem the reward
When the card is full, the customer shows their QR code. The employee scans it and the reward is redeemed.
No POS connection required.
This is one of the most important advantages of Cashews.
Many digital loyalty programs require a POS system. That means:
- technical setup
- interfaces
- support
- training
- additional costs
Cashews takes a different approach. You don't need a new POS system. No hardware. No IT. No complicated setup.
Just your business. And a few minutes of your time.
