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? Tick the box when you buy and the voucher goes straight to the recipient, with your message alongside it. # 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. # Put the voucher in your name — and freeze it when something is off On the balance page you can **link the voucher to your email address**. That registers you as the holder: the voucher shows up in your account, and if someone else ever links it to a different address, you automatically get a warning about it. Spot a purchase you don't recognise in an email? Then you **freeze the card with one button** — spending and topping up lock down, but your balance simply stays put until the issuer releases the card again. How that works exactly is in [Lost or stolen city card? Link your card and freeze it right away](/en/blog/lost-city-card-link-and-freeze). > 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, and it can go straight to them: tick the box on the purchase page saying you are buying for someone else, enter their email address and add a message. The voucher is then registered in their name. Forwarding your own email still works too. ## 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. ## What if I lose my voucher? Link your voucher to your email address on the balance page, so you are registered as the holder. If anything goes wrong — a purchase you don't recognise, or someone taking over the card — you freeze it with one button from your email. The balance stays put.
