Frequently asked questions

Can Stampaki reward online orders?

Not today. Stampaki rewards in-person purchases scanned at the counter. Smile.io is designed for online orders on Shopify and BigCommerce.

I have a Shopify store and a boutique. Which should I use?

If most revenue is online and you use Shopify POS in-store, Smile.io fits that setup. If most customers visit in person and you want Wallet cards, Stampaki fits better.

Does Smile.io support Apple Wallet?

Its pricing page did not mention Wallet passes when we checked, so we list it as unknown.
