Tap Essential 3 at an angle with three tiles in place: info, email and shop.

Tap Essential 3

The Tap Essential 3 is the shortest route onto your counter. It carries 3 magnetic tiles with our standard icons, so there is no artwork to prepare. Pick your colours, give us your links, and it ships. Any customer with a smartphone (iPhone 11 or newer, or any NFC-enabled Android) taps a tile to leave a Google review, follow your Instagram, or reach any link you choose. No app to download, no camera to aim. Just tap.

Three independently programmable magnetic tiles. Each one links to a different destination, and we change any link for you on request.

Good questions. Honest answers.

No account, no software, no setup wizard. Your Tap Tiles products work straight out of the box. Everything is pre-loaded before it ships.
Yes. Get in touch with support and we change the links for you, typically 1-5 days.
All NFC-enabled Android phones and iPhone 11 and newer. That covers the vast majority of smartphones in use today.
iPhones take a brief moment to detect as a security measure. Hold the top edge of the phone steady on the tile for a second. On Android, make sure NFC is enabled in Settings and touch the camera bump or centre of the phone's back to the tile.
Yes on both counts. They're made from durable recycled and biodegradable plastics and handle getting wet. Wipe them down without worry.
No. NFC tiles are passive. They draw power from the phone reading them. Nothing to charge, nothing to replace.
Yes, any colour. Pick it in the customiser. If it is not one of our stock colours, we send a colour check before printing: have it printed in the nearest stock colour at no extra cost, or have your exact colour ordered in for €15 per part, which adds to the lead time.
Not on the Essential. It ships with our standard tile icons and no branding, which is what keeps it quick and inexpensive. For an embossed logo, the Tap Board range carries a printable plate.
Yes, before you pay. The bag page shows your exact colours, tiles, links and logo placement, and what you confirm there is what we make. If you chose a colour we do not stock, we send a colour check before printing: print it in the nearest stock colour at no extra cost, or have your exact colour ordered in for €15 per part.
Across the EU, subject to availability. Reach out and we'll confirm what's possible for your location.

A note on custom colours

We order the filament for your colour from our suppliers, so a custom-colour build takes longer than a stock colour and cannot go by express delivery. Checkout will offer standard delivery only, and sourcing can push the date past 20 days.

Your exact colour can be ordered in for €15 per part, or we print the nearest stock colour at no extra cost. You choose on the colour check after checkout.

If your exact colour is not available, we contact you to confirm the closest match before anything is printed.

Almost there.

Before we take your build: your Tap Essential 3 arrives pre-programmed, any tile’s link can be changed later by messaging us (typically 1-5 days), and each order supports a small network of local makers. What you confirm on the bag page is what we make. Custom colours get a colour check before printing.
