Every card and tag that leaves W2 Collective is programmed once, then sealed. Once your link is set, it stays set — nobody tapping it out of curiosity, no passer-by with the wrong intentions, no accident, can change where it points. Most tap cards on the market can't say that.
The chip inside a basic NFC card or sticker is rewritable by design — that's how the factory programs it in the first place. The catch: on most cheap cards, nothing turns that off afterwards. Anyone with a £2 NFC-writing app on their phone can hold it near an unlocked card for a second and silently repoint it — to a scam page, a competitor, or nothing at all.
Most businesses never think about it, because most of the time nobody tries. But a card sitting on a till, a table or a shop window all day is exactly the kind of object that's easy to tamper with and hard to keep watching. It's a small, quiet gap — and almost nobody selling NFC cards tells you it exists.
Every card and tag we make is locked before it ships. We won't publish exactly how the lock works — that's deliberate, the fewer people who know, the safer every card stays. What we can tell you: it's built into the chip itself, checked before your order goes out, and it isn't something that can be undone with an app, a tap, or a guess.
The link you set is the link that stays live — today, next month, next year. No drift, no surprises.
No one can reprogram your card once it leaves our hands — not a curious customer, not a passer-by, not an accident.
Want to point it somewhere new later? That's something only you control, through us, on your terms.
Yes — the chip is rewritable, just not by anyone except us. Message us and we'll reprogram it, no need to buy a new card.
No. QR codes are exactly the kind of thing a tap is meant to replace — no camera, no square to line up, just a tap.
Almost every phone from the last several years does — it's the same tech behind tap-to-pay. On an older device, we can send the link another way instead.
Every single one — Business Cards, Tap Cards, Tap Tags and window tags.
This isn't a marketing line — it's a real page on the store, with the full FAQ on how ordering, checkout and reprogramming actually work.
