Tap.Giving Hardware
Large Circle Tap Plate
4″ diameter (100 mm)
About the size of a drink coaster
Tap.Giving’s 4″ round NFC tap-to-give plate is the best fit for most church pews and chair backs, and the plate most churches start with. One tap opens your church’s giving page, no app needed. The big antenna makes the tap forgiving, with room for your logo and a QR code.

Where it works
The default for pew backs and chair backs. Biggest antenna, so the tap is the most forgiving, and there is room for a logo and a QR code.
Wooden pews or hard chair backs
3M adhesive backing, standard
3M adhesive tape is already on the back, so it is peel and press onto a clean, smooth surface. No tools, nothing to drill.
Upholstered or fabric surfaces
Pre-drilled screw holes, no extra cost
We recommend screws here. On fabric, tape grips the surface fibers rather than the panel behind them, and a padded back flexes against the bond. Plates with holes still ship with the adhesive on, so you can try tape and keep screws as the backup.
Metal chairs, railings or fixtures
Add anti-metal shielding, $1 per plate
NFC will not read through metal, so a plate mounted flat on metal needs a shielding layer behind the chip. It is charged only on the ones that actually go on metal.

Specifications
Every Tap.Giving size is built the same way. Only the outline changes.
| Size | 4″ diameter (100 mm). About the size of a drink coaster. |
|---|---|
| Material | Double-laminated PVC, 0.85 mm thick. Waterproof and dustproof, and thin enough to sit flush rather than stick out like a puck. |
| Printing | Your church’s artwork on every one. You see a proof of your own design before anything is made. |
| NFC chip | Programmed with your giving page before it ships. Locked by default, so nobody tapping it can overwrite the link. Unlocked is available on request if you want to rewrite it yourself later with a free NFC app. |
| Phones | Opens your giving page in the phone’s browser. No app to download. |
| Adhesive | 3M adhesive backing on the back, standard. |
| Screw holes | Pre-drilled holes at no extra cost. The adhesive backing stays on, so you have both options. |
| Metal surfaces | Anti-metal shielding laminated behind the chip, $1 each, only on the ones going on metal. |
| Giving platform | Works with the one you already use: Tithely, Pushpay, Givelify, Subsplash, Planning Center or your own website. |
| Price | $5.00 a plate for 100 to 199, $4.00 for 200 to 399, $3.50 for 400 or more. 100-plate minimum. |
| Shipping | Free. Typically 2 to 3 weeks from artwork approval, with rush service available for a fee. |

Common questions
Is the 4-inch circle the right plate for our seating?
For pew backs and chair backs, yes. It is our default plate: the larger antenna makes the tap the most forgiving, so people find it from a sloppier angle, and there is room for a logo and a QR code. If people will be tapping in passing rather than standing still, this is the size to choose.
How does it attach?
Every plate has 3M adhesive on the back, and pre-drilled screw holes are available at no extra cost. On wood, hard plastic and other smooth surfaces, the adhesive is all you need. For upholstered or fabric surfaces we recommend the screw holes: tape on fabric grips the surface fibers rather than the panel behind them, and removing it later can lift fibers. Plates with holes keep their adhesive, so you can try both.
Will it work on metal?
Only with the on-metal option. NFC will not read through metal, because the phone’s field induces currents in the metal instead of powering the tag, so the tap does nothing at all. The on-metal version adds a ferrite shield behind the chip, for $1 per plate on just the ones that go on metal.
Can someone change where it points?
Not by tapping it. Our plates ship locked by default, so the link written to the chip cannot be overwritten. If you would rather be able to rewrite it yourself later, ask for unlocked when you order.
Do we have to switch giving platforms?
No. A tap opens a web page, so it points at whatever you already use: Tithely, Pushpay, Givelify, Subsplash, Planning Center, a Church Center link or your own website. Tap.Giving sells the hardware, not the processing, and takes nothing per gift.
