Get five stars before they leave the shop.

It's a credit-card sized card with an NFC chip inside and a QR code printed on it, programmed with your business's Google review link. A customer holds their phone near it or scans the code, and your review page opens on their screen — no searching, no typing, no app.

NFC is the same short-range technology as tap-to-pay. The chip holds a web link. When a phone comes within a couple of centimetres, it reads that link and offers to open it. One tap on the notification takes the customer straight to your Google review screen.

No. The card opens their normal browser. Nothing to download and nothing to sign up for, on your side or theirs.

They scan the QR code printed on the card with the camera app. Same page, same two taps. Every smartphone works one way or the other.

Yes. iPhone XR and newer read the card automatically — hold the top of the phone near it. Older iPhones use the QR code. On Android, most phones from the last several years read NFC as long as it's switched on in settings.

Yes, Google requires people to be signed in before they can post. Almost every Android user already is, and most iPhone users have a Google account too. If they're not signed in, Google prompts them and the whole thing still takes under a minute.

₹500 for a single card and ₹1,000 for two, fully set up and branded. That's a one-time price with nothing recurring. Larger orders for chains and multi-branch businesses get bulk pricing — ask on WhatsApp.

None. You pay for the card once. There's no plan, no renewal, no per-scan charge and no dashboard subscription.

Design and programming take one to two working days after your details are confirmed. Delivery time then depends on your city — we'll give you a date on WhatsApp before we print anything.

Yes. We're based in Delhi NCR and ship anywhere in India. Setup happens over WhatsApp, so your location doesn't change the process.

Tell us on WhatsApp and we'll help you set one up before the card is programmed. It's free to create and usually takes about a day to verify.

Use the order form on this page or message us on WhatsApp. We confirm your business, the design and the delivery address before anything goes to print.

Wherever you say thank you — the billing counter, the reception desk, the salon chair, the delivery bag. The best results come from a staff member handing it over with one sentence: "if you had a good experience, tap here."

Nobody can promise you a number, and you should be suspicious of anyone who does. What we can say is that the drop-off happens at the friction, not the willingness — most customers don't mind reviewing, they just won't go and search for you. Shops that hand the card over on purpose see far more than shops that leave it in a drawer.

Yes. It's a link on a chip, so it can point anywhere — your Instagram, a digital menu, a booking page, your WhatsApp, or a single page that lists all of them.

Yes. Message us and we'll reprogram it, free for your first change. Useful if you move locations or want it pointing at your menu during a rush.

Yes, and each branch should get its own card pointing at its own profile — Google treats every location separately, so reviews need to land on the right one. Tell us how many locations and we'll price it as a set.

Yes. Google allows you to ask customers for reviews. What isn't allowed is paying for reviews, offering discounts in exchange, filtering out unhappy customers, or writing fake ones. The card only makes your real review page easier to reach — that's the whole trick.

Reviews are one of the signals Google uses for local results, alongside distance and how complete your profile is. More reviews, better ratings and a steady flow of recent ones generally help you show up in the map pack, and increasingly in AI-generated answers that summarise local options.

That's the risk. AI overviews and chat assistants have to pick a few names out of many, and they lean on the same public signals: rating, review count, how recent the reviews are, and what people say in them. A business with no recent reviews is easy to leave out of the answer.

It happens, and a profile with nothing but five stars looks fake anyway. The defence is volume: one poor review among sixty barely moves your average, while one among six is a real dent. Reply to it politely in public — future customers read the reply as closely as the complaint.

No, and we won't help with that. Review gating breaks Google's policies and can get your profile penalised. TapStar points at your public review page for everyone, because the honest version is also the one that survives.

No. The chip holds a link and nothing else. It doesn't store, read or transmit anything from your customer's phone — the phone simply opens a web page.

No. We're an independent business. Google, the Google logo and Google Business Profile are trademarks of Google LLC, and our cards simply link to your own public Google review page.
