What is a café loyalty app?
A café loyalty app puts a digital stamp card on the customer's phone instead of a paper card in their wallet. The customer shows a QR code at the till, your barista scans it from the dashboard on any phone, and a stamp is added; after a set number of coffees the reward unlocks. With TapTime you design the card in your colours without building an app.
Paper stamp cards are easy to lose and hard to track.
Paper cards get lost, can be stamped without a purchase, and give you no information about who your regular customers are.
-
1
Lost cards interrupt the habit
When a customer loses a card a few stamps before a reward, they have to start again, and many stop collecting.
-
2
Stamps are easy to copy
A pen or rubber stamp is easy to imitate, so you cannot be sure how many rewards were genuinely earned.
-
3
No data on your regular customers
Paper cards cannot tell you how many customers are collecting, who has stopped visiting or how many rewards you gave last month.
The card, the till and the statistics, all on the phone you already use.
Design the card once, share it with a QR code and add stamps with a scan. Each problem above is addressed in the dashboard.
02
Stamps added only at your till
The customer shows their QR code, your barista scans it from the dashboard on any phone and taps Add a stamp. Each stamp is logged with the time and location.
03
Statistics on your regular customers
Stamp and reward statistics per location show how many customers are collecting, how many are one stamp from a reward and how many rewards were redeemed this month.
04
Your colours, logo and icons
The card designer supports colours or a gradient, your logo, stamp and reward icons, and fonts, so the card matches your brand.
05
Rewards you define
Nine stamps by default, or any number you choose. Offer a free coffee, a pastry or a bag of beans, with a description, terms and an optional expiry.
06
One card for every location
The same card works at all your locations, staff are scoped to their own site, and statistics are combined in one dashboard.
Set up your digital stamp card in three steps.
No hardware, no onboarding call and no printing other than the QR code. Everything runs from the dashboard on a phone.
-
01
Design the card
Choose the colours, upload your logo and select the stamp icon and reward, for example nine stamps for a free coffee.
-
02
Display the QR code at the till
Customers scan it once and the card is saved on their phone, with nothing to install. It sits alongside any other TapTime cards they have.
-
03
Scan, stamp and reward
At the till, the customer shows their code, your barista scans it from the dashboard and taps Add a stamp. When the reward unlocks, tap Redeem.

Every stamp and reward recorded in your spreadsheets, chat and ad reports
Each stamp, new member and reward is an event you can send to other tools. This is included with the loyalty card at no extra cost: no add-on, no higher tier and no per-stamp fee.
How conversions, webhooks and the API work
New members counted as sign-ups
A customer's first stamp is reported once as a sign-up: GA4 sign_up and Meta CompleteRegistration. This lets you measure campaigns by the number of members who joined, not only by reach.
Reward notifications only
Choose which events the team's Telegram group receives, such as a reward earned or redeemed, or a new member. Each arrives within seconds with the customer and time, without a message for every stamp.
A record of rewards, without code
Zapier, Make, n8n or Pipedream can add every stamp and redeemed reward to Google Sheets with the time and location, so you and your accountant can see how many rewards were given each month.
Cards and rewards data for multiple locations
The REST API reads loyalty programs, cards and rewards, plus an event feed of every stamp. Signed webhooks send each event to your own reporting, from every location.
One flat price. Unlimited cards and stamps.
49 € a month per location. The card designer, the card on the customer's phone, scanning at the till, statistics, promo codes, gift cards and the refer-a-friend program are all included. No hardware to buy and no per-stamp fees.
One card works at every location, and each location has its own 49 € subscription managed from the same dashboard. Other TapTime modules, such as a QR menu, table reservations or appointments, are priced separately.
For cafés and coffee shops of every size.

Frequently asked questions
Do customers need to install an app?
No. The card is kept on their phone. They scan your QR code once and the card is saved, with nothing to install. If they already use TapTime at another business, your card appears alongside the others.
How does my barista add a stamp?
The customer shows the QR code on their phone, and the barista scans it with the dashboard open on any phone and taps Add a stamp. No scanner, card reader or new hardware is needed at the till.
Can I choose how many stamps make a reward?
Yes. Nine is the default, and you can set any number, name the reward, write the terms and add an optional expiry. If you change it later, every card is updated.
What if a customer loses their phone or gets a new one?
The card belongs to the customer's TapTime account, not to the device. They sign in on the new phone and their stamps are still there.
Do I publish my own app?
No, there is no app to publish. The card carries your logo, colours, icons, fonts and reward, and that is what customers see on their phone after one scan. No developer is needed.
How much can I customize the card?
You can set colours or a gradient, your logo, the stamp and reward icons and the font, as well as the number of stamps, the reward title and description, the terms and an optional expiry.
What does it cost and is there a contract?
49 € a month per location, paid monthly by card. No contract, no setup fee and no per-stamp charge. The first 14 days are free and no card is needed to start.
What happens if I stop paying?
After a short grace period the card is paused and shows a brief “temporarily unavailable” note on the customer's phone. Nothing is deleted: cards, stamps and statistics are kept and restored when you reactivate the subscription.
Can I send my coffee shop's loyalty stamps to Google Sheets automatically?
Yes. Connect Zapier, Make, n8n or Pipedream under Integrations, press Send test and map the fields to a sheet. From then on TapTime sends every stamp, new member and reward as it happens, with the customer, time and location, and retries any delivery that fails.
