NFC Google Review Cards - Complete Guide: Card vs Keychain vs Table Sticker

TapSticky offers four NFC Google review products, Standard Review Card (₹500), Restaurant Review Card (₹799), Review Keychain (₹999), and Table Sticker (₹999), each designed for a different use case and placement strategy. The standard card is best for portable, hand-to-customer use. The restaurant card is purpose-built for food businesses. The keychain is ideal for mobile businesses (food trucks, delivery, services). The table sticker is a set-and-forget solution for dine-in restaurants and cafes. All four use the same NFC tap-to-review technology: customer taps with their phone, Google review page opens, they rate and submit in 15 seconds.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use the same product for multiple Google listings?

No. Each NFC product (card, keychain, or sticker) is programmed to one Google Business Profile. For multi-location businesses, order separate products per location so each branch builds its own review profile.

Which product is best for a restaurant?

The Table Sticker (₹999) for passive collection on tables, combined with the Restaurant Card (₹799) in the bill folder for active collection. This dual approach maximizes review volume. Read the full restaurant review guide.

Which product is best for a salon or clinic?

The Standard Review Card (₹500), hand it to satisfied clients after their appointment. Optionally add a Table Sticker at the reception or waiting area.

How long do table stickers last?

TapSticky table stickers are weather-resistant and designed for commercial use. They last 2-3 years under normal conditions (spills, wiping, daily use). The NFC chip itself has a 10+ year lifespan. Replacements are available when needed.

Can I reprogram the NFC chip to a different Google listing later?

Contact TapSticky support to reprogram your product to a different Google Business Profile. This is useful if you change your business name or listing. Reprogramming is available for a small service fee.

Does the customer need a Google account?

Yes. Customers must be logged into Google to submit a review. Over 90% of smartphone users (especially Android) are already logged in. The NFC product opens the review page, Google handles the authentication seamlessly.
