Sticap: QR promos and tickets

Handing out flyers nobody reads and keeping bonus cards in a crowded wallet is no fun anymore. Sticap moves it into Telegram: promotions, tickets and loyalty cards become digital objects that open through a QR code. 🎟

The app's motto is short: "Save opportunities." It is a mini app for people who want to gather people around an offer instead of only sending out a discount.

Three formats in one place

According to its Telegram description, Sticap lets you create three kinds of objects.

• Promotions: an offer a person saves for themselves.
• Tickets: entry to an event, checked by scanning.
• Loyalty cards: a collecting mechanic for regular guests.

All of it runs on QR codes, so nobody has to type anything. Pointing the camera is enough.

Multi-level scanning and why it matters

The description mentions multi-level scanning. The idea is that one code can be checked at different stages, for example at the door and again when a reward is claimed.

For an organizer this is a way to engage people and let them collect: scan, get a mark, come back for the next one. 🔁

Three commands worth knowing

• /start opens the app.
• /help explains how to use Sticap.
• /work suggests how to put Sticap to effective use in your case.

The project also has a page with instructions and usage examples, linked from the bot's description inside Telegram.

Why a QR in a messenger beats paper

The mini app opens inside Telegram, so a guest does not need to download another program. That lowers the barrier: the fewer steps to saving an offer, the better the chance it is not lost.

A digital card does not get buried in a wallet or left at home. The organizer can change terms more easily and watch how people use the offer. 📱

Planning your first promotion

If you are just starting, keep it simple. Pick one mechanic and test it on a small group.

1. Set a goal: bring in new guests, retain regulars, or check entry to an event.
2. Choose a format: promotion, ticket or card.
3. Place the QR at the counter, on a poster or in a chat.
4. After a week, see how many people got as far as scanning.

Make the printed QR large, with a high-contrast background and a line saying what the person gets after scanning. Test it on a couple of different phones.

Keep guest data in mind: collect only what the program needs and tell people what you do with it.
