Local vouchers & city cards
One local voucher for a town, village or region — redeemable from the bookshop to the theatre. Shops scan for themselves, you keep the payout overview.
The local voucher module turns local credit into one card redeemable at more than one business — under your own name, taken from your own village, municipality or region. Residents buy the voucher online with iDEAL | Wero (or receive it physically, no email address required) and spend it — in parts if they like — at participating shops. The idea is that of a local gift card, except the spending power stays in your own community: whether you call it a regional voucher, a municipal voucher or simply your city card, the technology underneath is the same. Every pass can also be topped up: scan the QR or type the card code on the public page, pick an amount and pay — an empty or expired pass is instantly usable again and its validity is extended. Physical cards are a first-class product: generate pass IDs in the dashboard, download print-ready files (PDF sheet with print instructions, SVG, PNG, CSV) for your own print shop, and cards can be taken in and safely reissued — everything the previous holder still had is invalidated automatically, wallet pass included. Cards with credit can be ordered up front: you only pay the issuance fees, the credit itself is funded outside the platform. Every shop gets its own scanning app with email + PIN: scan the QR or type the code, see the balance, redeem an amount; the holder is automatically emailed the remaining balance and finds their cards in their MijnEvent account. The public balance page shows the participating shops with their logos next to the balance. In the dashboard you get charts of sold cards and spending (filterable per shop), spending per shop at a glance, and per shop exactly what to pay out — the amount deducted at that shop, less €0.05 per redemption. Paying out runs in rounds: you select the shops, MijnEvent books the payouts and produces a SEPA payment file (pain.001) you import at your own bank — plus, on behalf of each shop, a self-billed invoice or payment statement with UBL where allowed, and one summary sheet per round. And the holder is never on their own: they link the card to their own email address, are automatically warned when someone else takes the card over, and freeze it after loss or theft with one button from the email — the balance stays put and you release the card from the dashboard after checking. Cards are valid for 24 months by default. Built for business associations, municipalities and regional initiatives that want to keep spending power local.
Your own city pass for your municipality, region or town centre

From the first voucher to the payout to the shop: how a municipality or business association issues its own pass while the balance stays in its own account.
From gift card to payout
- The buyer orders the voucher online and pays with iDEAL | Wero — or receives it physically
- Topping up is always possible: scan the QR on the pass (or type the code), pick an amount and pay
- The organisation invites shops; each shop sets its own PIN
- The shop scans the voucher in the app, sees the balance and redeems an amount
- The holder gets an email; the organisation pays the shops with a SEPA file at its own bank
What it means for you, the shop and the resident
A local voucher only works when it is easy for all three parties. This is the same voucher, seen from each side.
You keep the overview, not the paperwork
- One voucher under your own name, in your own community's branding
- Per shop you see exactly what needs to be paid out
- Payouts in rounds: select the shops and import a SEPA payment file at your own bank
- Self-billed invoices on behalf of the shops and a summary per round are generated for you
- Charts of cards sold and spending, filterable per shop
Scan, redeem an amount, done
- Its own login with email and PIN, and a scanning app
- Scan the QR or type the code, see the balance and redeem an amount, in parts if needed
- New (beta): a till barcode carrying the amount, so the line lands in the shop's own till without retyping
- Double redemption is technically impossible
- An automatic notification as soon as a payout is made
A voucher you do not simply lose
- Buy online with iDEAL | Wero, or get a physical card with no email address required
- An email with the remaining balance after every purchase; the balance page also lists all participating shops
- Top up whenever you like: an empty or expired card is instantly usable again
- Card lost or stolen? Freeze it with one button from the email; the balance stays put
What is included
- One voucher, redeemable at every participating shop — under your own name, in your own community's branding
- Each shop gets its own login (email + PIN) and a scanning app
- Scan the QR or type the code, see the balance and redeem an amount — in parts if needed
- New (beta): after redeeming, the app shows a till barcode carrying the amount — scan it with the shop's own till scanner and the line lands straight in the register, no retyping
- Top up on the public page: scan the QR or type the code, pick an amount and pay — an empty or expired card is instantly usable again
- Print and reuse physical cards: generate pass IDs, print-ready exports with print instructions, take cards in and safely reissue them — or order them pre-loaded
- The holder is automatically emailed the remaining balance and finds their cards in their account
- Payouts in rounds: select the shops, a SEPA payment file for your own bank, self-billed invoices on behalf of the shops and automatic notification per shop
- Dashboard charts: cards sold and spending per day, filterable per shop, plus spending per shop
- Public balance page with a shop overview; digital with QR or as a physical card (email optional)
- Double redemption is technically impossible; the remaining balance simply stays
- Card lost or stolen? The holder links the card to their email address and freezes it with one button from the email — the balance stays put, you release it from the Frozen cards overview
Low flat fees — never a percentage
- Volume tiers: from 25,000 cards in twelve months €0.28 · from 50,000 cards in twelve months €0.21 · custom above that
- Plus €0.05 per redemption, settled against the payout to the shop where the card was redeemed: a shop that redeems ten times sees €0.50 come off its payout. The issuing organisation then passes that amount on with the next card that is bought or topped up — excluding the transaction fees Mollie charges at that time. That way the shop that redeems the most carries the most, instead of the issuer subsidising its busiest shops.
- Physical cards: generating card IDs and exporting print-ready files is free — the printing you arrange with your own printer. Order a batch pre-loaded with credit and you pay €0.50 issuing cost per card up front; the value itself runs outside MijnEvent.
- The setup fee is a yearly amount; on top of that flat fees per card apply. Pricing is agreed per programme.
Prefer a fully white-label setup?
For municipalities and business associations that want to run the city card entirely as their own product, the city card module is also available white label: your card, your name — MijnEvent runs invisibly as the technology underneath.
- Your own city card on your own domain name, for example citycard-yourtown.com
- Fully in your own branding — logo, colours and name; including the emails and the shop environment
- No references to MijnEvent: card holders and shops see no MijnEvent logo, name or links
