Getting started

What WiseTap is, how long it takes, and what you need to begin. Short version: a browser and two minutes.

Does the other person need an app?

No. A tap or scan opens your page in their browser. Saving your contact uses the phone's built-in contacts, and leaving their details is a short form on the same screen.

Do I need a physical card?

No. Your page works from a QR code, a lock-screen web card, your email signature or a plain link. Add an NFC card or tag whenever you like; it attaches to the page you already have.

How long does it take to set up?

About two minutes for a page you can hand out: name, photo, role, a few links and a theme. Adding video, forms and the rest can wait until you have a spare evening.

Can I set everything up from my phone?

Yes. The editor, share kit, contacts and insights all work in a mobile browser, and you can add WiseTap to your home screen as an app. Nothing needs a desktop.

What do I get for free?

One page, eight blocks, unlimited accessories (cards, keychains, tags), every free block type, the full share kit (NFC, QR, vCard, lock-screen card, email signature, video-call background), a contact form, a subscribe form and 28 days of insights. Free is the product, not a trial. Upgrade when you need more pages or more than eight blocks.

See what every plan includes

Can I have more than one page?

Free includes one page. Every keychain or card you buy can point at it. Starter, Pro and Premium raise the page limit if you need a second business, a personal page, or separate locations.

The card and tapping

How the NFC tap actually works, which phones read it, where to hold the card and what to do if it goes missing.

Which phones does the NFC tap work on?

iPhone XS and newer read NFC in the background: hold the card to the top of the phone and a banner appears. iPhone 7, 8 and X can read tags from the NFC Tag Reader in Control Centre. Most Android phones from the last few years read NFC from the middle of the back with the screen on. Any phone with a camera can scan the QR code on the card instead.

Compatibility table

Where do I hold the card?

On an iPhone, against the top edge on the back, roughly where the camera bump is. On Android, flat against the middle of the back. Hold still for about a second; you do not need to tap or rub it.

Does it work if their phone is locked?

On iPhone XS and newer, yes. The banner appears on the lock screen and opens your page once they unlock. Most Android phones need the screen on. If in doubt, the QR code on the back of the card works on any phone that can open a camera.

Does it work through a phone case?

Through most cases, yes. Very thick cases, metal plates and wallet cases holding bank cards can block or confuse the reader. Move the card a little, or use the QR code.

What if I lose my card?

Deactivate it in your admin in one click. Your page and links are untouched, and a replacement card attaches to the same page.

Can I point a card at a different page later?

Yes, instantly, from Accessories in your admin. The chip stores a short code rather than your address, so re-pointing, renaming your page or handing the card to a colleague never needs the chip reprogrammed.

How much does a card cost?

A WiseTap card is £25, bought once. There is no subscription to keep it working and the page it opens is free. Prices for keychains and stick-on tags are shown in the shop.

Do you make anything other than cards?

Yes: keychains and stick-on tags for laptops, counters and menus. They attach to a page the same way a card does, with a code, and can be re-pointed or deactivated just like a card.

Your page

What goes on the page, how much you can change later, and what the paid plans unlock.

What can I put on my page?

Links, social icons, a contact card that saves to their phone, text, video, music, documents, a map, image galleries, an Instagram or TikTok grid, press mentions, numbers, credentials, testimonials, a FAQ, a contact form and a subscribe form. Free includes eight of those blocks; Starter raises that to 20 and adds a featured block. Pro adds promo, booking and service blocks; Premium adds an AI assistant, payment and shop.

Can I change my page after the card is made?

Yes, as often as you like. The card points at your page, not at a printed version of it. New job title, new phone number, new links: edit once and every card, QR, lock-screen card and signature you have ever handed out shows the new version.

Can I change my page address?

Yes, from My page, then SEO and access. Your address is tap.wisetap.co.uk/yourname. Old links stop working when you change it, but cards and tags keep working because they use a code rather than the address.

Can I use my own domain?

Custom domains are part of Premium. Every page also has a tap.wisetap.co.uk address you keep on any plan.

Can I schedule or lock blocks?

Scheduling (show a block between two dates) is on Starter and above. Locking a block behind an email address, so someone leaves their details to open it, is on Pro and above.

Is there a dark mode and more themes?

Several themes are free, each with its own layout and button style. Starter adds premium themes, dark mode, alternate layouts, a background image and a full-bleed header.

Will my page show up on Google?

Yes, if you want it to. Public pages carry your name, title and description as the page title, description and share image, all editable from SEO and access. If you would rather stay private, put a password on the page or unpublish it; cards then show a designed not-public screen instead of an error.

Sharing your page

Six ways in, one page behind them. All of them are free on every plan.

How do people get to my page?

Tap a card or tag, scan a QR code, open the lock-screen web card, click the link in your email signature, scan the QR in your video-call background, or follow a plain link. Every one of them opens the same page.

The share kit

How does the lock-screen card work?

From Share, open the web card and add it to your home screen (iPhone: Share → Add to Home Screen). It carries your QR and name. It is not an Apple Wallet .pkpass or a Google Wallet object yet — those need signing certificates we have not shipped.

Can I add my page to my email signature?

Yes. Share generates a signature block with your photo, role and page link that you paste into Gmail, Outlook or Apple Mail. When your page changes, the link keeps pointing at the new version.

Can I download my QR code?

Yes, in any size, for print, slides or a shop window. Starter adds custom QR colours to match your brand.

What is the video-call background?

A background image for Zoom, Meet and Teams with your QR code in the corner, so anyone on the call can scan you without asking for a link. Free on every plan.

Leads, contacts and privacy

What happens when someone shares their details with you, where they go, and who can see what.

How does the contact exchange work?

They tap your card, save your contact to their phone, and on the same screen there is a short form to send you theirs. Their submission records consent and arrives in your Contacts with the card, place and moment it came from. Nothing to install on either side.

Where do leads go?

Into Contacts in your admin, and you get an email the moment someone shares their details. Pro adds CSV export. CRM integrations and a shared team inbox are marked Soon.

What can I see in insights, and who else can?

Views, taps, saves and leads, broken down by day, by card and by block, for the last 28 days on Free (longer on paid plans). Only you can see it. Your visitors are never shown who else has looked at your page.

Can I delete my account?

Yes, from Settings. Your pages, contacts and insights are removed and your cards stop opening anything. If you only want a break, unpublish the page instead and switch it back on later; your cards show a not-public screen in the meantime.

Plans and billing

Free is free for good. Paid plans add on top and never take anything away.

Is Free really forever?

Yes. One page, eight blocks, unlimited chips, every free block type, the full share kit, contact forms and 28-day insights stay free. Paid plans add more pages, more blocks, themes and deeper analytics; they never take anything away.

What do the paid plans add?

Starter (£2.99 a month, billed annually) hides the logo, unlocks premium themes, dark mode and backgrounds, AI comment replies, 20 blocks, 5 pages, 5 short links and 90-day insights. Accessories stay unlimited on every plan. Pro (£6.99) adds locked blocks, chip redirect, contact export, 40 blocks, 10 pages, 25 short links and 365-day insights. Premium (£12.99) adds an AI assistant, a shared knowledge base, unlimited blocks, 50 pages, 50 short links and lifetime insights. Bookings, social monitor, team seats, custom domain, payments, agreements and API are marked Soon on the compare table.

Compare every feature

When do paid plans launch?

Soon. Everything on Free works today. From Billing in your admin you can ask to be told the day paid plans open, and nothing you build now will need redoing.

Teams and businesses

One account for the whole team, cards that outlive job changes, and every lead in one place.

Can my whole team use WiseTap?

Not yet. Team seats, page templates and a shared leads inbox are marked Soon on Premium. Until they ship, each person has their own account and you re-point a card from Accessories when someone leaves.

What happens when someone leaves?

Re-point their card to whoever takes over, in one click, from Accessories. The card in the wild now opens the new person's page. No reprint, no dead links on old cards.
