How NFC Cards Work – Step by Step
How TapSticky NFC Cards Work
TapSticky NFC cards share your complete digital identity in one tap — no app needed, works on every modern smartphone.
4 Simple Steps
Step 1: Tap
Hold your TapSticky card near someone's phone (within 1-4 cm). The phone's NFC reader detects the chip instantly. Works through phone cases.
Step 2: Share
Your digital profile opens automatically in their browser — your photo, name, bio, all your links, portfolio, and contact details. Loads in under 2 seconds.
Step 3: Connect
They save your contact with one click, follow your social profiles, visit your portfolio, or book an appointment. Two-way exchange: you get their info too.
Step 4: Track
Your dashboard shows every tap — who viewed your profile, when, and what they clicked. Track your networking ROI in real time.
