How it works

Phone touches object. Page opens. That's the whole trick.

No app on your side. No app on theirs. Nothing to pair, charge, log into or explain to a new staff member on their first shift.

Your side

Four steps, and three of them are ours.

The part that usually eats a week — artwork, copy, finding the right Google link, testing on real phones — is the part you don't touch.

  1. 01

    We find your listing

    Two minutes at your counter. We look up your business on Google, confirm it is the right one with you, and take the exact review link — no forms, no account, nothing for you to set up.

    2 minutes
  2. 02

    We write the card there and then

    The link goes onto the chip in front of you and the card is locked with a password, so nobody can point it somewhere else later. You watch it happen.

    1 minute
  3. 03

    We test it on your phone

    We tap it on an iPhone and an Android before we leave, and check your business name is on the screen. If it does not open your page, you do not pay.

    Included
  4. 04

    It sits on your counter and works

    Your staff point at it when someone pays: “Mind leaving us a Google review? Just tap here.” No app, no account, no monthly fee, nothing to renew.

The technology, honestly

Four things worth knowing before you buy.

Most of what's sold as 'smart' hardware is a sticker with a link on it. Here's what actually matters, including the parts other sellers skip.

01

There's no battery in it

The chip is passive. The phone's own NFC radio powers it for the fraction of a second it takes to read. That's why a tag lasts a decade on a counter and never needs charging or pairing.

02

The tag stores a pointer, not a page

What's written on the chip is a short link we control. That's why you can change where it goes forever — the object in someone's wallet never becomes wrong.

03

It's locked after programming

We set the chip to read-only before it ships. Nobody can walk up with a phone and rewrite your stand to point somewhere else — a real risk with blank tags bought online.

04

The QR is the safety net

Same destination, printed on the same face. Older phone, NFC switched off, a case that's too thick — it doesn't matter, they still land in the right place.

Compatibility

Will it work on your customers' phones?

Effectively yes. Background NFC reading — where the phone reacts without opening anything first — has shipped on iPhone since the XR in 2018 and on mainstream Android for longer than that.

For the small remainder — an older handset, NFC switched off, a thick case, a customer who just prefers it — the printed QR on the same face does the identical job.
