How It Works

From design to tap.

A simple process from your first design choice to your first tap — and every introduction after that.

The Tap

Tap. Connect. Done.

  1. 01Tap

    Hold the card near, or briefly touch, any modern smartphone. The card's built-in NFC chip does the rest.

  2. 02Recognise

    The phone instantly reads the chip — no camera, no QR code, no typing.

  3. 03Open

    Your Tapello digital profile opens straight in the browser. No app download required.

  4. 04Connect

    Your details are saved to their phone in one tap, and every link you choose is right there.

The Process

One card. Made once. Updated forever.

The physical card and digital profile work together — change your details online and the same card keeps sharing your latest information.

Phone compatibility

Where to tap.

Modern phones usually read NFC automatically. Placement varies slightly by device, so a brief, steady hold works best.

iPhone

Near the top edge

Hold the Tapello card near the upper part of the phone for a moment. A notification appears; tap it to open the profile.

Android

Near the back sensor

Hold the card near the upper or central back of the phone. NFC may need to be enabled in device settings.

If nothing happens

Unlock the phone, remove thick or metal cases, move the card slowly around the NFC area, and confirm NFC is enabled. The card needs no battery or charging.

Good to know

See it for yourself.

Configure your card in minutes — Tapello handles the rest.
