Setup · about two minutes · once
Your customers never need an app. You need one, once.
There's no account to open and no subscription to cancel. You write your review link onto the card yourself with a free app, and then it's yours — unlimited taps, no monthly fee, nobody holding your link hostage. Change platforms next year? Rewrite the same card in two minutes.
~2 min
Copy your review link, write it to the card with a free app, test it. That's the whole setup.
~8 sec
They tap. Your review page opens. They leave a rating. No app, no typing, no searching for your business.
Setting up your card
Do this once, when the card arrives. You'll need your phone and about two minutes.
Copy your Google review link
Sign in to your Google Business Profile, open Ask for reviews, and copy the link it gives you. That link opens the review box for your business directly — it's the thing your card will point at.
Collecting reviews somewhere else instead? Any link works — TripAdvisor, Facebook, Instagram, your menu, your WiFi. The card doesn't care what's on the other end.
Install a free NFC app
Download NFC Tools — it's free, and it's on both the App Store and Google Play. This is the only app anyone ever installs, it's only you, and it's only this once.
iPhone users need an iPhone 7 or newer running iOS 13 or later to write a card. Any Android phone with NFC can do it.
Write the link to your card
In the app, choose Write, then Add a record, then URL/URI. Paste your link, tap Write, and hold your card against the back of your phone until it confirms.
Make sure the link starts with https:// — a link without it won't open properly on some phones.
Test it before you put it out
Tap the card with a different phone than the one you wrote it with. Your review page should open. If it does, you're finished — put the card where people pay and start asking.
Nothing happening? It's almost always the phone, not the card. Check the NFC guide.
Then it's just this, forever
Every customer, every day, for the life of the card:
Ask a happy customer if they'd leave a review — while they're still standing there.
Tap their phone on the card. A notification drops down; they tap it.
Your review page opens with the stars ready. They rate, they're done.
Worth knowing
The things people ask us after they've bought:
You can rewrite it whenever
Change your link, switch from Google to TripAdvisor, move the card to a new location. Same app, same two minutes, unlimited times.
The card never expires
One payment. No subscription, no account, nothing to renew. The chip has no battery and no moving parts.
Locking is permanent
Your app can lock the card so it can't be rewritten. That protects a card left out in public — but it's a one-way door. Only lock it once you're certain.
Don't punch a hole in it
The antenna is a coil running around the inside edge. Cut it, punch it, or bend it hard and the card is finished.
Roughly 1 in 10 phones won't tap
Older iPhones, budget Androids, thick cases. Keep your review link somewhere staff can reach in a second.
Metal kills the signal
A standard card won't read on a metal counter or inside a metal stand. Wood, paper, plastic and glass are all fine.
Ready when you are

Cards, stands and stickers — all written the same way, all yours outright.
