Frequently Asked Questions
Everything pastors and church administrators ask about Tap-to-Connect pucks.
How do church attendees tap their phone?
Attendees simply unlock their phone and touch the top of their iPhone or the back of their Android device against the center of the puck. A native push notification immediately appears on their screen. Tapping the notification takes them directly to your church's custom mobile experience.
Does the guest need to install an app first?
No. Tap-to-Connect operates through native mobile browser technology (Web NFC). It opens instantly in Safari on iOS or Chrome on Android without downloading anything. From that page, guests can optionally install your church's mobile app if they wish.
Will the adhesive backing damage our wooden pews?
No. We specifically selected 3M high-bond, low-residue non-marring adhesive. It forms a secure bond to resist curious fingers and children, but can be removed cleanly with a soft plastic razor without peeling wood varnish or polyurethane finishes.
What if a church member has an older smartphone?
Every puck features both an internal NFC contactless antenna and a high-resolution, high-contrast dynamic QR code. Attendees with older phones (or cameras) can simply point their smartphone camera at the QR code to open the exact same link.
Can we change what the puck does for special events?
Yes. In your SWAPP Church Admin dashboard, all your sanctuary pucks are linked dynamically. During Easter or Christmas, you can redirect all seat pucks to an event registration or candle-lighting guide, and switch back to normal visitor connect cards on Monday—with zero physical tag replacements.
How do we get these pucks for our sanctuary?
Tap-to-Connect pucks are available to all SWAPP church partners. When you register for your SWAPP 14-day free trial using coupon code zuPaoR, you can request a complimentary sample puck pack customized with your church's logo.
