Buy it online, pick an amount and add it to Apple or Google Wallet. At every participating shop you draw from that same balance. [Jasper Koers](https://mijnevent.nl/en/author/jasper-koers) · 14 July 2026 · 2 min read In short - A city voucher is a single balance with a QR code that you can spend at every participating shop in town — you don't have to pick a shop upfront. - You buy it online, choose an amount of €10, €25, €50 or €100, and receive it straight away by email; it fits in both Apple Wallet and Google Wallet. - The balance keeps up: after every purchase the voucher in your wallet updates itself to the remaining amount. Shopping locally, one balance, spendable anywhere in the town centre: that's what a **city voucher** does. Not a separate balance per shop, but a single voucher with a QR code that works at every participant. Here's how you buy and spend one. # Step 1: buy the voucher online On the voucher page you pick the **amount**: €10, €25, €50 or €100. You enter your email address and pay with iDEAL | Wero. Want to spend more than €100? Simply buy several vouchers. # Step 2: receive your voucher Straight after your purchase the voucher arrives **by email**, with a QR code and your opening balance. You need no account and no app — the voucher stands on its own. Giving it as a gift? Forward the email; the recipient can use it immediately. # Step 3: into your wallet Tap **Add to Apple Wallet** or **Google Wallet** and the voucher sits alongside your bank cards and tickets. Handy: after every purchase the voucher updates itself, so you always know what's left without digging out the email. # Step 4: spending it in town At a participating shop you show the QR code. The shopkeeper deducts the amount from your voucher; the **remainder stays put** for next time. So you don't have to decide upfront which shop gets the voucher — the whole centre takes part. After each purchase you get an email with your new balance. > One voucher, every participant, and your balance always to hand in your wallet. Frequently asked questions ## Frequently asked questions ## Do I have to spend the whole voucher at once? No. The balance sits on the voucher and comes down per purchase. A participating shop deducts the amount and the remainder simply stays put for next time. ## Can I give a city voucher as a gift? Yes, although the voucher goes to your own email address first. You forward that email to whoever is receiving it, or show the QR code in the shop. The recipient needs no account or app. ## Can I enter my own amount? You pick from four fixed amounts: €10, €25, €50 or €100. If you want to spend more, you buy several vouchers.
