How it works and technical features

TapiLink's system is based on sharing contact information with an NFC tap or a QR code scan, with no need to install an app. The company states that the cards allow contact details to be saved instantly and also capture leads. It also offers complementary digital features:

• Digital profile: each user has a customisable profile that can be updated at any time from a dashboard.
• Digital wallet: the option to add the card to Apple Wallet and Google Wallet for one-tap access.
• AI lead capture: the tool captures contacts by scanning signs, paper cards or leaflets, with multi-language support.
• Email signatures: turns emails into branded, clickable business cards.
• Email automation: automatically sends welcome and follow-up emails to new contacts.
• Mobile app: available on the App Store and Google Play to create and share digital cards, capture leads with AI and manage your network from your phone.
• Smart watch compatibility: lets you add the card to a smart watch.

The company states that its solutions have connected over 3.2 million people a year and that users achieve results such as 10x faster networking, 5x more reviews and fully customisable designs. These figures come from TapiLink's own presentation.

Customisation and ordering process

The purchasing process described by the company consists of three steps: the customer customises the NFC product with their photo, logo and style, choosing the material; then sets up their digital profile, which they can update whenever they want; and finally shares their details with a tap, a scan or a link. TapiLink offers a free product design service and next-day delivery in the UK, with international shipping. Orders are shipped within two working days of design approval, with free shipping on all orders and rush delivery options. The company also offers bulk order discounts for teams.

Teams and centralised management

TapiLink is designed for both independent professionals and teams and large brands. Each team member receives their own card with an individual profile, but management is centralised from a single admin dashboard. The platform lets you organise contacts, update their status and export them at any time, as well as integrate with existing CRM systems and productivity tools.

Sustainability and comparison with paper cards

The company promotes the use of eco-friendly materials to reduce paper waste. In its comparison with paper cards, it notes that 88% of paper business cards are thrown away within the first 24 hours and that TapiLink's NFC cards are bought once and updated for free indefinitely. The website includes a calculator that estimates the financial savings and environmental impact (trees saved and kilograms of CO2e avoided) based on the number of employees and the time frame, with indicative, non-certified figures.

Reviews and presence

On Trustpilot, TapiLink shows a score of 4.0 based on 7 reviews. Comments highlight the wooden card for its originality, the metal card for its solid, premium feel, and the black PVC card for its modern look and durability. The company publishes a blog with articles about NFC cards, such as ordering guides, explanations about PVC NFC cards and analyses of monthly fees.
