How to set it up in your bakery
A card built for everyday shopping: fast at the till, with rewards that cost cents and that customers notice every few weeks.
Recommended setup
- Stamps per card
- 10
- Reward
- A free loaf
- Minimum purchase
- Optional, $4 for example, if you'd rather reward slightly bigger purchases
- On joining
- 1 free stamp
- Halfway reward
- A croissant at the 5th stamp (optional)
A customer who buys bread almost every day fills the card in about two weeks.
What each reward costs you
| Reward | When they get it | Costs you, roughly |
|---|---|---|
| A croissant | At the 5th stamp | $0.40 |
| A free loaf | At the 10th stamp | $0.50-1 |
| A homemade cake | With a 15-stamp card | $2-3 |
The reward costs cents and customers get one every two or three weeks. Few things build loyalty so cheaply.
An example: Carol and her morning loaf
Carol buys a loaf and something for breakfast almost every morning. With the welcome stamp, on her fourth visit she gets a croissant, and within two weeks she has a free loaf.
When a new bakery opens on the corner, Carol tries it once, but comes back: she's two stamps from her loaf.
And the morning queue doesn't slow down: adding a stamp takes under 5 seconds.
Common mistakes in bakeries
- Expensive rewards for a small ticketIf the average purchase is $3 or $4, don't give away a whole cake. A loaf or a croissant is just as welcome and costs you cents.
- Forgetting weekend customersSome people only come on Sundays for the good bread or the pastries. A halfway reward at the 5th stamp gives them something sooner.
- Hiding the QRIn a bakery a purchase takes seconds. The poster has to be visible from the queue, at eye level.
“Shall I sign you up for the card? This loaf already counts, and on the tenth one we'll give you one free.”
Automated emails that bring them back.
Your customers already walk in; the challenge is getting them back. These four emails go out on their own.

How many stamps do you recommend for a bakery?
Between 8 and 10. A customer who buys bread almost daily fills a 10-stamp card in two weeks: the reward comes soon and gives them one more reason not to switch bakeries.
Should a single loaf earn a stamp?
It can. If you'd rather reward bigger purchases, set a minimum, for example $3. Smaller purchases are still recorded but don't earn a stamp.
What about the morning queue?
Adding a stamp takes under 5 seconds: scan the customer's QR or type their phone number and enter the amount. Faster than finding a paper card.
Do my customers need to download an app?
No. They scan your QR and their stamp card opens in their phone's browser. If they want, they can add it to their home screen with one tap.
What if a customer doesn't have a smartphone?
No problem. They just tell you their phone number at the counter and you add the stamp. They never need to open the website.
How much does it cost?
You start with a 30-day free trial, no card needed. After that, Basic is $18 a month and Pro is $49 a month, plus tax. Pay yearly and get 2 months free. Cancel anytime.
I bought Apego and I'm not convinced. Can I get a refund?
Yes. If it's not for you, we refund your money within the first 30 calendar days.
