GROW YOUR
COMMUNITY.
How it works
IndiStamp is a digital loyalty stamp card, but with a focus on growth — your customers earn stamps not only for buying from you, but for referring friends too. Here's how it all fits together.
This takes minutes. Tell us about your business and provide your details through our payment provider Stripe.
Login to your portal. Create your first reward stampcard, choosing its style and size. Set up your referral rewards. You decide how many stamps a new customer referral is worth.
You'll receive beautiful point-of-sale materials to help you promote IndiStamp as a way of helping your business grow. These materials include an NFC tag that your customers tap their phones on to collect stamps. No batteries and no setup. As soon as you receive it, you're ready to go.
Your customers earn stamps in two ways - tapping at purchase, or by successfully referring friends to your store. When they've completed a card they show it to you to redeem their reward.
Your loyal customers will refer their friends. Further new customers arrive because they've seen you in the app - they're actively looking for independent businesses, especially when visiting a new area.
Your IndiStamp portal gives you real-time data so you can see exactly what's working. Use this information to engage with your community using the in-app messaging system.

Got questions?
The ROI of the classic loyalty stamp card is already well known. IndiStamp is effectively a digital representation of this, but with some features that only our modern tech allows:
Referrals. Your customers will introduce friends to your store. When the introduced friend accepts the invite, they both receive a stamp or a number of stamps, as defined by you in your settings. You gain new customers, and your regulars get rewarded for spreading the love.
Data. You can see stamps issued, cards completed, and new customers referred, busiest times of day, lapsed customers etc. You can tweak your rewards and track performance.
Communications / CRM. Communicate with your customers by creating in-app messages. Encourage lapsed users back. Make quieter times busier. Sell off last minute stock. There's lots of possibilities.
Discovery. Our users are conscious, ethical consumers actively looking for independent businesses — especially when visiting a new town or city. They'll find you in our app.
Our marketing. We run our own socials and regularly make content about our vendors, increasing your visibility and footfall.
Exactly — and that's precisely why we built IndiStamp. You want something that helps you grow, right? Our users get stamps not only for buying your stuff, but for referring new customers to you. They want your business to flourish, and they're being incentivised and rewarded for helping it grow.
Our app users are also conscious, ethical consumers actively looking for independent businesses — especially when visiting a new town or city. They'll find you in our app - another source of new customers.
We're probably like you — a small independent business. We're family run, with very low overheads, and we care deeply about small businesses and the damage that big corporates and chains are causing to high streets in the UK. We're not greedy, and we don't have investors or bank loans to pay off.
We're a purpose-led business, not profit-led. A purpose-led business asks "What impact do we want to have, and how do we build a sustainable business around that?", and that's exactly what we've done. When we've fully launched, we'll announce our affordable price. We'll be priced for impact, not margin.
We'll be charging what we think is a very affordable price because we want you to see the ROI quickly, and we want it to be a 'no-brainer' purchase. It doesn't matter how busy you get, or how many customers you have — we will charge one single price per store.
With our focus on independent businesses, our purpose-led prices, our 100% green energy hosting, and our focus on B-corp service providers, we like to think we're a business-boosting tech-for-good.
No setup fee. Once you've signed up we send you a point-of-sale 'badge' that customers tap on with their phones to get stamped. There is no charge for the hardware or postage. As soon as you receive it you can get going — growing your business and rewarding your customers.
We know you're busy. We've made it as easy as possible. You don't need to provide much to get started, and when your badge arrives you can start using it immediately — no setup or configuration required.
There's an admin portal showing your performance data, but you don't have to go there if you don't want to. Running IndiStamp is completely maintenance and hassle-free.
It's a small point-of-sale NFC 'badge' on a puck — a wooden disc with an IndiStamp epoxy logo on top. The NFC tag is hidden under the logo. Customers simply tap their phone on it to collect a stamp. It sits neatly on your counter and just works. It requires no batteries, no wifi, nothing.
Everyone knows the traditional stamp card shows good ROI — and we're confident the £TBA* monthly fee will be dwarfed by the benefits. You'll retain existing customers, gain new ones through referrals, and attract footfall from users who discover you in the app.
You'll see it in your own data. And when we've gathered valid industry-wide numbers, we'll share them with you too.
Sign up is really easy. We send a code to your phone number and then you're in, tapping straight away. It takes under 30 seconds.
We never share your phone number with anyone else, not even our stores and vendors can see your details.
The app is completely free to download and use. You're supporting your local independent businesses just by using it.
App users can refer friends to businesses they love, by sending them a message. When the referred friend accepts the invite they both receive a number of stamps, as defined by the vendor.
Nothing. Using customers' individual data isn't in our business model — we don't share it with anyone or sell it to anyone. If this ever changed, we'd never do it without express permission, full transparency, and default opt-out.
Vendors use aggregated, anonymized data to understand trends and improve their services.
Customers sign up with only their phone number — fast and frictionless. They can later choose to supply stores with their email address for marketing purposes and receive a reward in return.
Great question! An independent business is one that is locally owned and controlled, and not part of a larger national or multinational chain.
A business is typically considered independent if it has most of these traits:
During signup, we ask businesses to self-certify that they meet our definition of an independent business. And we do check! IndiStamp is for independents only.
We're just a lil old family business from Bristol, UK, a city very well known for its creativity, independent sprit, and independent businesses. We happen to have the right mix of software engineering, design, and business skills to make IndiStamp a reality.
We're small and nimble, which allows us to move quickly and adapt to the needs of our users and partners, and keep the cost to our vendors low.
