Question 1

What is NFC?

Accepted Answer

NFC (Near Field Communication) is the same short-range wireless technology used for contactless payments. A Tapello card contains a tiny chip — no battery — that a smartphone can read when held nearby.

Question 2

Does the person I tap need an app?

Accepted Answer

No. Modern smartphones read NFC cards natively. They simply hold your card near their phone and your Tapello profile opens in their browser.

Question 3

Which phones work?

Accepted Answer

All modern iPhones and most Android phones with NFC support. Between them, that covers the overwhelming majority of smartphones in use today.

Question 4

Can I update my contact details?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Your physical card is linked to your digital profile, so you can change your phone number, email, website, job title or links anytime — the card itself never needs reprinting.

Question 5

Do I need to replace my card if my details change?

Accepted Answer

No. That's the point of Tapello. The card stores a link, not your details. Update the profile and every future tap shows the new information.

Question 6

Can every employee have a different card?

Accepted Answer

Yes. With personalised cards, each team member gets their own card design and their own digital profile, while the overall company branding stays consistent.

Question 7

Can multiple cards open the same company profile?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Company cards can all open a single shared business profile — ideal for counters, events, front desks and shared use.

Question 8

Can Tapello design my card?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Choose 'Have Tapello Design It' during customisation and our team will prepare a professional design around your brand for your approval.

Question 9

Can I upload my own artwork?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Choose 'Upload My Design' and supply your print-ready artwork, or use 'Design It Myself' once our online design tools become available.

Question 10

What does the monthly subscription include?

Accepted Answer

The optional Tapello digital profile subscription covers your personalised profile page, save-contact and contact links, social and website links, and the ability to edit everything anytime.

Question 11

What happens if I cancel my digital profile?

Accepted Answer

Your physical card keeps working — it can still open a basic profile or a destination of your choice. The full editable profile features pause while the subscription is inactive.

Question 12

Can I order cards in bulk?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Volume discounts apply automatically from 5 cards, with larger discounts at 10, 25, 50 and 100+.

Question 13

Can businesses order cards for entire teams?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Tapello Teams supports bulk ordering, consistent company branding, individual employee profiles, centralised management and easy replacement cards. See the Teams page or talk to us for team pricing.
