Questions
Can we change where the tags point later?
Yes. We recommend programming tags to a short link on your own domain (for example yourchurch.org/tap). Change that redirect any time and every tag follows, without paying for a dashboard.
Do you take a percentage of our giving?
No. Tags open whatever giving provider you already use. Your provider's normal processing fees still apply, but nothing is added on top.
Do they work with every phone?
Modern iPhones and Android phones read NFC without an app. Each tag also carries a printed QR code for anyone who prefers to scan.
Will they stick to fabric chairs?
We use adhesive rated for fabric, wood, and plastic. Let us know your seating and we will recommend the right backing or custom design.
