For plumbers, electricians, builders, cleaners and other trades, work comes from reviews and word of mouth. XTap Connect NFC cards help you win both: hand one over when the job’s done and the customer can leave a Google review, save your WhatsApp or find your website with a single tap.

Best NFC cards for tradespeople

| Web Link Card | Opens your website, quote form or your profile on a trade directory | Instead of a paper business card |
| Facebook Card | Opens your Facebook page, where many local customers look for trades | Community events, local groups |
| Trustpilot Card | Opens your Trustpilot review page if you use Trustpilot | After larger jobs and installations |
Why trades love NFC cards
- Tough enough for the van – waterproof PVC that doesn’t tear or go soggy like paper cards.
- No more “what was your number again?” – one tap opens a WhatsApp chat with you, so customers don’t have to save your details.
- More reviews from finished jobs – customers can leave a review while you pack up, or later from the card you leave behind.
- One-off cost – no app and no monthly fee.
Tips for more reviews from your customers
- Ask when the customer is happy – straight after the job, when they can see the result.
- Leave the card behind – customers often review later in the evening, so leave the card on the side or with the invoice.
- Keep it fair – Google doesn’t allow discounts or gifts in exchange for reviews, or asking only the customers you expect to be positive.
- Reply to every review – it shows future customers you stand behind your work.
Cards for every van in your team
Each card can open its own link, so every engineer or crew can have cards that open the company review page and their own WhatsApp number. We design every card with your logo and colours and send a proof before printing. Contact us for team orders.

Questions from tradespeople
Can the card open my Checkatrade or MyBuilder profile?
Yes. A Web Link Card can open any profile or page that has a web address.
Does it work with all phones?
iPhones from the iPhone XS onwards and most Android phones read NFC cards. We can add a QR code on the back for the rest.
Can I put my phone number on the card too?
Yes. The card is fully designed for you, so you can print your phone number, email and logo on it as well as the NFC link.
