Frequently Asked Questions

Can the Tap Tee's chip be re-programmed?

Yes. If you have the Tee in your possession  you can easily re-program to another URL following the 4 simple steps on this page. 

Once you distribute your Tap Tees, you won't be able to re-program to another URL so what we suggest is initially programming your Tap Tees to a dedicated URL within your own domain. 

This way, you can update the content in this page/URL to support the lifecycle of the product.

You can update content based on your customer's or your own strategies. Adding content through time when it makes sense. Example: update with a video for a new product launch. The next month a discount code for such product. Further on a social media campaign, etc. All designed and catered by you based on your own goals.

Does the NFC chip get damaged by washing?

No. The NFC chip has been designed and tested to survive 60 home laundry cycles with no loss of performance. 

Can I screen print/DTG the Tap Tee and put it through the dryer?

Yes, we've tested the chip putting it through conventional conveyor dyers as well as dryers used in DTG. The chip will survive as long as you don't use a heat press over it.

Does the Tap Tee come in other colors or styles?

Right now, the 180NFC comes in black and white. Make sure to request for other colors so we can propose to our product development team!

How can I use the Tap Tee?

Since we've launched, we've heard some amazing ideas: charities that want to use it to land on fundraising pages, car companies that want to use it to land on new product release pages. 

We're the enablers and we leave it to you to come up with the creative ideas. 

We can't wait to see where you run with it!
