A stamp card
for the whole neighborhood.
One sign-in, every Madeira shop on the program. Check in with your phone’s location or a counter QR, your shop picks which. No fees, no points-to-dollars math, no email lists you didn’t ask for.
The four steps
Four steps · zero setupApple, Google, phone, or email. Your call. You get a stamp card the moment you finish.
Most shops verify with your phone’s location, open the shop page on shop-madeira.com, tap Check in, and you’re stamped. Shops that prefer a counter QR keep a tablet by the register that rotates a fresh code every minute, you open the Shop Madeira iOS app and scan it. Each business picks the path that fits their counter.
One stamp per visit, once per shop per day. Saturdays earn 2× across every participating shop.
Every stamp counts your visits, moves you up the neighborhood tiers, and puts you on the community boards. Shops set their own perks and fund them themselves — as they turn them on, redeeming shows up right here in your wallet.
4 neighborhood tiers.
Each tier unlocks at a stamp count. Once you reach it, the wallet shifts. Tier names are exact: Visitor, Neighbor, Resident, Madeira Steward.

Stamps are a non-monetary measure of your activity at Madeira shops. They cannot be purchased, transferred, or redeemed for cash. Any perk they unlock is set and funded by the shop itself.
Two paths, one stamp
Most shops verify your check-in by location, you tap a button on the shop page, your phone confirms you’re inside the radius, and the stamp lands. Shops that prefer a counter QR keep a tablet by the register; you open the Shop Madeira app, scan their rotating QR, same result. The shop picks; you don’t have to think about it.
Merchant-funded perks
Shop Madeira does not buy your perks. The shop you visit does, and each shop decides what its stamps unlock. That keeps a perk worth honoring at the counter instead of points-store junk.
Built in Madeira
The program is independent and community-run. A small team of neighbors hosts it; it is not operated, funded, or endorsed by the City of Madeira or by any civic organization. Any shop or community organization in 45243 can join on the same published terms, free.
Frequently asked
- Does it cost anything?
- No. Shoppers never pay a fee.
- Do stamps expire?
- No, not during normal use. The only times stamps are taken back are if a check-in is found to be fraudulent, if a refund is issued, or if an account is closed for cause.
- Can I use it without the iOS app?
- Yes. Sign in on shop-madeira.com on any device. The mobile web works on Android. The native iOS app is the smoothest at the counter because of geofencing and haptics.
- What about my data?
- Shop Madeira is the data trustee. Data is never sold. See the Privacy Policy for the specifics on what we collect and how long we keep it.
- Why is my balance still in stamps, not dollars?
- At launch, stamps are a count of your activity in Madeira. They are not a dollar-denominated currency, and they cannot be sold, transferred, or exchanged for cash. If that ever changes, you will be asked to re-affirm consent before it does.
- I own a shop in Madeira. How do I join?
- Start at the For Businesses page or sign up directly on the merchant portal. Onboarding is a phone call and a six-step verification, most shops are live in 48 hours.
