A practical guide for POS, loyalty and CRM platforms replacing QR codes with a secure, frictionless NFC tap
Why NFC vs QR codes?
NFC is faster, more secure, and more intuitive than QR codes
A simple tap replaces scanning, removing friction and reducing the risk of spoofing or phishing, to deliver a truly seamless experience either at, or away from, the point of sale.

How to integrate VTAP for in-store loyalty
Our technology can be deployed in many ways depending on the existing POS and loyalty architecture.
It can be as simple as deploying an NFC reader that emulates a barcode scanner, or a completely new implementation of unified commerce using something like Shopify POS. Here are some example scenarios:
Legacy PC-based Point-of-Sale
No drivers or software updates required – emulates a barcode scanner/keyboard over USB or RS-232
Optional 'tap to enrol' requires minor POS software update for context aware customer sign-up
Tablet-based POS running local app
No drivers or app updates required – emulates a barcode scanner/keyboard over Bluetooth
Optional 2-way BLE comms for faster and deeper integration including 'tap to enrol'
Cloud-based POS supporting unified commerce
No connection to local hardware needed as taps are sent directly to the cloud
Rapid opt-in identification of customers at and away from the point of sale
Easily integrated with existing platforms and APIs with minimal changes
Integrations already include Shopify, Klaviyo and Salesforce
Secure, pain-free cloud device management at scale
In all cases, VTAP Cloud keeps the network of VTAP readers safe, secure and easily updated
This includes the management of Apple and Google encryption keys, NFC Wallet merchant identifiers and any feature or firmware updates available
Readers can be managed in fleets and updated with new configurations within seconds, either via the VTAP Cloud UI or programmatically via the API
No customer data is stored in VTAP Cloud
