NFC vs QR Review Cards
NFC is fast and discreet; QR is visible and familiar. In most customer-facing settings, using both on the same card removes the need to choose.
NFC and QR compared
Which method matters most?
Select the main constraint at your review-request point.
A tap removes the step of opening the camera, while QR covers customers who prefer scanning.
What the evidence supports
Fallback matters
No single interaction suits every customer. A combined card lets the customer choose the method they recognise.
Placement decides
NFC works at close range; QR visibility and size become more important as viewing distance increases.
Test the destination
The link and business profile matter as much as the technology. Test both routes before putting a card into service.
Common questions
Does NFC work without an app?
On compatible phones, an NFC card can open its link through the phone’s built-in NFC capability without a dedicated TapMii app.
Can NFC and QR open the same review page?
Yes. Both can be configured to open the same direct review destination, providing two ways to reach one page.
Is NFC always better than QR?
No. NFC is convenient at close range, while QR is more visible and can work better for signs, packaging and situations where customers stand farther away.
