Loyalty processing
7Bonuses runs tiered accrual, vouchers and referrals on the terminals, kiosks and cash registers you already have. The shopper gets a wallet card in ten seconds and installs nothing.
Most programmes die in the queue. The shopper does not have the app, the cashier does not want a second device, and the discount gets waved through manually. 7Bonuses makes identification the easy part: six ways to recognise a shopper, four of which need no integration with the till at all.
A flat discount is not a loyalty programme. 7Bonuses holds a rules engine that decides what applies to a given basket — priority, compatibility, exclusions by product or hour — plus tiers that move in both directions, bonuses with a lifecycle, vouchers and referrals. The merchant keeps the customer base that comes out of it.
Three groups feel the difference, and none of them has to learn a new system.
Scan a QR code, sign in with Apple ID or Google ID, and the card is in the wallet. Balance, history and the scannable card sit in one place — or in a chat bot where messengers win.
Depending on the setup, staff scan a card, work inside their usual POS screen, or do nothing at all because the shopper scans their own receipt. No second login, no window switching.
Every enrolled shopper becomes a reachable contact. Campaigns, birthday balances and referral mechanics run from the same profile that holds the points.
Eight things you get on day one, and four you can add whenever the programme is ready for them.
At the counter
On a bank payment terminal the shopper taps the same card they pay with. The terminal reads the token, finds the profile, offers to spend the balance and confirms the deduction after the transaction succeeds.
The shopper confirms once and gets a push about what was earned or spent.
The terminal does the identification, so staff never leave the payment flow.
Card-linked recognition sits on top of acquiring that already runs.
Most cash registers already have one. Here is what it cannot do.
A cashier can spend a customer's balance without them, or move points to their own card. Bonuses have no lifecycle: they exist or they do not. One flat discount for everybody, and referrals need a separate service nobody buys.
Nothing is deducted without the shopper's authorisation. Points can activate after the return window closes or expire on a date. The rate follows a tier that moves in both directions. Referrals run inside the bot, with a ledger.
The shopper scans a QR code at the counter or on their receipt. No app store, no form to fill in.
Sign in with Apple ID or Google ID and the pass is saved. Balance and history live on the card itself.
The rules engine decides what applies to the basket — the tier rate, an hour-limited promotion, an excluded category.
The shopper authorises the deduction themselves — on the terminal, in the bot, or with a one-time redeem code checked at the till.
Each one is a rule in the same engine, so they combine under priority and compatibility settings.
The rate follows the customer's status, and status moves up or down automatically on turnover or items bought.
ExampleGold earns 10%, base earns 1%.
A percentage of the basket comes back as points, with caps and rounding rules controlling how much one receipt may cover.
Example5% back, up to half the next receipt.
Bonuses can be permanent, expire on a date, or activate only after the statutory return window closes.
ExampleA birthday balance that lives five days.
Instruments that change the current basket, carry a partner's product, or hold a fixed cash amount.
ExampleA 10 gift certificate, redeemed at the till.
The baseline setup needs no integration, no new device and no change to how the cashier works.
Identification
The hard part of loyalty is not the maths. It is knowing who is at the counter without slowing the queue.
The baseline. Staff scan the card, enter the amount, points are credited. Live the same day.
Read the scenarioFor staff who will not tolerate a second device. Loyalty appears in the till the cashier already uses.
Read the scenarioCard-linked recognition from the payment token, or the scanner installed as an APK on a smart terminal.
Partner trackA QR code on the printed receipt, or the state fiscal QR verified through the fiscal service.
Read the scenarioThe programme is not only a discount mechanism: it is the only place where the business owns the customer relationship.
Every enrolled shopper becomes a contact for news and campaigns, held in the same profile as the points.
The referrer earns on their friend's spending, per receipt or over a period, and both sides can be paid.
A rule can be limited to a tier, named products, a location, days of the week or specific hours.
Independent brands share one ecosystem while each keeps its own programme and its own rules.
Any business where the same shopper comes back and the queue cannot wait.
High receipt counts, where the fastest path is a QR code printed on the receipt.
Regulars who return weekly, where a tier that visibly moves is worth more than a flat discount.
Payment terminals already at every pump, so card-linked recognition needs nothing new installed.
Slovakia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan all run state fiscalisation. That makes one scenario possible that is rare elsewhere: the shopper scans the fiscal QR on the receipt, the platform verifies it against the fiscal service, and points are credited with no POS integration and no staff action at all.
Three ways to run points, and what each one costs you in practice.
The engine is the product, so rules, balances and anti-fraud are maintained rather than bolted on.
Six methods exist because the counter, not the database, is where programmes fail.
The same core serves four markets and three sibling products on shared infrastructure.
Pricing follows the setup: how many locations, which identification methods, and whether onboarding is guided.

Terms
Loyalty vocabulary is loose. These three mean something specific here.
7Bonuses is a points and cashback loyalty engine. It holds the rules, the customer profile and the balance, and delivers the card to the shopper as an Apple Wallet or Google Wallet pass or inside a chat bot. Merchants run it on hardware they already have.
No. The shopper scans a QR code, signs in with Apple ID or Google ID, and the card lands in their wallet. In markets where messengers dominate, the same card lives inside a chat bot instead.
Only if you want to. Four of the six identification methods need no POS integration at all: a wallet card with a staff scanner, a bank payment terminal, a QR code printed on the receipt, and a fiscal receipt scanned by the shopper.
The baseline setup runs the same day: create the programme, place a QR code at the counter and give staff the scanner app. Programmes with tiers, exclusions and rule priorities are configured together with our team.
No. Nothing is deducted without the shopper's own authorisation. This is the difference from the loyalty tab built into most cash registers, where a cashier can quietly move points to their own card.
You decide. Bonuses can be permanent, expire on a date, or activate after a delay — for example only once the statutory return window on the purchase has closed.
Slovakia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. All four have state fiscalisation, which makes the scenario where a shopper scans the fiscal QR on their receipt possible with no POS integration and no staff action.
They share one processing core, one customer profile and the same delivery channels. A merchant can start on 7Stamp for stamp cards and move to 7Bonuses for points without changing hardware or re-enrolling customers.
Yes. Fiscal receipt verification through the SmartKasa API is live in Ukraine, and three products from the family are listed in the SmartKasa integration catalogue.
The merchant. Every enrolled shopper becomes a contact the business can reach for news and campaigns — the asset most loyalty programmes never build.
