Using our Free TapStart System for Dynamic NFC Tag Links

What is TapStart ? 

TapStart is a free service from Seritag, for tags purchased from Seritag, that allows you to update the links on one or thousands of tags dynamically. This is how it works : 

• Purchase your NFC tags from Seritag and select 'TapStart Encoding'
• We will encode your NFC tags to the TapStart platform and lock them to prevent unwanted tampering
• We provide you with a unique PIN code that you use at TapStart.io to change the dynamic link

The service is free, with no subscription. You only pay for the encoding service at the same price as our other Seritag encoding services. 

Is there a login ? 

You don't need a login, you just need the unique PIN that we provide. If you lose it, we can always send it out to you again. 

Do you need an App ? 

No. All your NFC tags will already be encoded by Seritag and securely locked. You can use any phone (or desktop) just to open TapStart.io, enter your unique PIN and update the redirect link. You don't even need to be near your NFC tags !

Are there statistics ?  

TapStart is designed to be quick, easy and free to use. We don't provide any stats but TapStart is built on our powerful Ixkio Tag Management and Authentication platform. If you want advanced features such as time of day redirects, customised landing pages and full statistics, then you can upgrade at any time. 

How many tags can TapStart manage ? 

Each PIN can be used to control a batch of tags - either one or one million ! Changing the URL/link on that PIN will instantly and automatically update the redirect on any NFC tags associated with that PIN. 

Are the tags secure ? 

Yes. Using TapStart means you can have dynamic and changeable redirect links on your tags but also lock your tags so that nobody can make unwanted changes. 

What is encoded on the Tags ? 

The tags are encoded to link to TapStart.io, which is run and management by Seritag and built on our large scale Ixkio tag management platform. It solid, reliable and secure. As the TapStart system is designed to be free, we don't currently support customer domain names on the system.
