What is a pharmacy loyalty card?

A digital pharmacy punch card rewards regulars for over-the-counter purchases — vitamins, skincare, cosmetics — via QR code or NFC at the counter. You see who comes back regularly, with no paper card and without storing any health data. Privacy-friendly, and on the safe side legally, since prescriptions are excluded.

☕Grace's 10th purchase. Today.

Grace picks up her magnesium tablets like every month. She quickly scans the QR code at the counter. No slip, no rummaging through her wallet.
“Done! $5 credit toward your next over-the-counter purchase.”

The problem

Why don't guests come back?

Empty pharmacy in the late afternoon — a symbol of regulars who stop coming
Linda runs a Pharmacy in Columbus. Mr. Harris came in every month for his blood-pressure medication, plus vitamins and skincare, around $25 over the counter. Then they disappeared. Linda didn't notice – one lost regular = around $1,000 in revenue per year, simply gone.

How it works

3 steps to more loyal customers

QR code or NFC at the counter

The customer holds their phone to the QR code or NFC tag at the counter. No sign-up, no plastic card to dig out.

2

The stamp is credited

Automatically, and only for over-the-counter products. The stamp appears instantly on the customer's phone.

3

Redeem the reward

At 10 punches, e.g. $5 credit on cosmetics or supplements — you set the reward yourself.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Are pharmacies even allowed to run a loyalty program — what about prescription rules?+
In many places, incentives on prescription drugs are restricted — for example where government health programs pay for them. For over-the-counter products — vitamins, cosmetics, supplements, skincare — loyalty rewards are generally fine. You set up Stempely so that only these over-the-counter purchases count. That keeps you on the safe side legally while still rewarding your regulars. If in doubt, check your local pharmacy regulations.
How does stamping at the counter work?+
The customer doesn't need to download anything: on the first scan with their phone camera, the loyalty card lands in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet. Anyone who prefers can use the free Stempely app instead and also receive push notifications. With every over-the-counter purchase they scan your QR code at the counter or hold their phone to the NFC tag. No account, no data entry, no searching for a plastic card — no delay even during the lunchtime rush.
What does Stempely cost for a pharmacy?+
Stempely is free for up to 25 customers – with every feature, no credit card, no time limit. From the 26th customer, Premium costs $14.99/month. For pharmacy groups and multi-location chains there are custom offers on request.
Is Stempely privacy-compliant — I work with sensitive health data?+
Yes, and that's exactly why Stempely fits a pharmacy: it processes no health, prescription or diagnosis data whatsoever. Customers stay anonymous (whether with a Wallet card or the app), and only stamps for over-the-counter purchases are collected. No names, no medications, no email address. Data is hosted in the EU under GDPR, and the anonymous setup also keeps you clear of US privacy laws like CCPA.
What about customers who only pick up prescriptions?+
You deliberately give no stamps for prescriptions — that keeps you clear of the rules. But almost every prescription customer also buys over-the-counter products: cough drops, vitamins, skincare. That's exactly where the punch card kicks in, turning a prescription visit into a returning regular.
Do my customers need a smartphone?+
The typical pharmacy clientele is broad — many older customers use a smartphone too these days. For anyone without one, you award the stamp manually from your dashboard. No one is left out, and you still keep the overview.
