How do dynamic NFC price tags work?
Dynamic NFC price tags from Taproo function by embedding a chip into a sticker or card that, when tapped by a customer or staff member using a smartphone, opens a web page displaying up-to-date product price and info. These pages are cloud-hosted and editable via your Taproo dashboard, allowing real-time updates from any device with internet access. Custom printing ensures the tag fits your retail branding and purpose.
Choosing the right Taproo NFC price tag for your shop
For typical non-metal surfaces, the NFC Taproo sticker (single) is the most versatile choice, offering durable print and reliable scanning for £6.99 each. If you need tags on metal shelves, opt for the NFC Anti-metal Epoxy Taproo Tag sticker at £12.99, with anti-metal shielding for accurate NFC function. For low-profile or temporary signage, the NTAG213 Wet Inlay NFC Sticker from £3.99 provides a basic, low-cost option.
All NFC price tags work seamlessly with UK-market smartphones. You can order in singles or bulk from Taproo shop; bulk rates and customisation options are shown on the pricing page. Use Taproo’s templates to design tags suited to your store’s needs.
Practicalities for UK retailers
Taproo’s NFC stickers are compatible with contactless smartphones common in the UK. No app is needed. Price changes can be made online—helping you meet Trading Standards for up-to-date, visible pricing. For stores with metal fixtures, anti-metal NFC stickers are recommended. Installation is as simple as affixing a self-adhesive tag to a shelf, product or label holder.
