Setup
What is TapToRate?
A small square counter card with an NFC chip and a QR code. Your customer taps their phone on it, or scans the QR, and your Google review page opens with the star rating ready to go — no app, no fuss.
Do my customers need an app?
No. Automatic background tapping works on iPhone XS/XR and newer, and most modern Android phones support NFC when it is available and enabled. iPhone 7–X support NFC but may require opening the phone's NFC reader. Pre-made plaques also include a QR code as a fallback. One tap or scan opens your Google review page in the browser.
Do my customers need a Google account?
Yes — leaving a Google review requires being signed in to a Google account, which the vast majority of phone users already are. That part is on Google's side, not ours.
What are the cards made of?
A slim, durable square card (about 10.5cm across and only a few millimetres thick) that sits flat on your counter. Your design is printed onto the face, and the NFC chip sits inside.
Design
What if I want my logo on it?
Go for it. The online editor lets you tweak one of our designs — move things around, add your logo — or start from a blank card and design the whole face yourself. We custom-print whatever you make.
Can AI design one for me?
Yes — open the separate “Generate with AI” page from the header and enter a few details about your business. You can then review the result and order. Try it here. Our pre-made designs remain available separately and include a printed QR code as well as the NFC chip.
Do AI-generated plaques include a QR code?
No. QR codes require an exact machine-readable pattern, and AI artwork can distort that pattern. We deliberately keep AI-generated plaques tap-only rather than risk printing a QR code that may not scan. We program the NFC chip to open your Google review page. Automatic background tapping works on iPhone XS/XR and newer; iPhone 7–X support NFC but may require opening the phone's NFC reader. Most modern Android phones support NFC when it is available and enabled. If you want both NFC and QR, choose one of our pre-made designs.
Is there a design for my industry?
We have designs tailored for cafés & restaurants, dentists, medical practices, physio & chiro, and optometrists — plus a blank canvas for anything else. Pick your trade to see them.
Compatibility
How do you link it to MY Google reviews?
Every Google Business listing has a unique review link. We program your card's NFC chip and QR code with yours, so reviews land on your listing — not a generic search.
Is asking for reviews allowed?
Yes — making it easy to leave a review is fine. What Google doesn't allow is offering rewards for reviews or gating out negative ones, and TapToRate does neither. It's the digital version of a “review us!” sign. Read the full answer, with Google's own policy.
What if I don't have a Google Business listing yet?
You'll need a Google Business Profile for reviews to land somewhere — it's free to set up at business.google.com. Once it's live, we can point your card at it.
Can I change the review link later?
Get in touch and we'll help. The link is programmed onto the chip and printed as the QR, so a change means re-programming — reach out via the chat or our contact page.
