NFC smart tag / QR code Engraved Solid Wood Coaster, Tap to Share Wifi, Reviews, Business Card, Photo Story Keepsake - Changeable 4" x 4"

An NFC smart tag and QR code set into a 4x4 block of solid wood, completely controlled by you. One tap of a phone opens whatever you choose: your Wi-Fi details, your review page, your business card, or a page of photos and stories that someone will want to keep forever, that's why I call this "The Keeper".

Picture the guest who doesn't have to ask for the Wi-Fi password. The customer who leaves a five-star review before they walk out the door. Or a grandparent who doesn't use technology but can tap their phone to the block on the shelf and see new photos of the grandkids. It sits quietly on a counter, desk, or entry table and works every time someone taps it.

What can it open?

A review page. Point it at your Google, Etsy, or Yelp review link and set it by the register. Happy customers tap and review while they're still happy.
Wi-Fi for Airbnb and vacation rental hosts. Guests tap to see the network name and copy the password in one touch. A code on the same page gets every other phone, tablet, and laptop in the group connected. Add your house rules, check-out steps, and local tips on the same page.
A digital business card. Your contact info, website, and social links, one tap from the front desk or trade show table.
A realtor's closing gift. The new owners get home info, warranty details, HOA rules, and the maintenance reminders everyone forgets, in one place that still works years later.
A memorial keepsake, for a person or a beloved pet. Photos, dates, stories, and a guest book where family can leave messages that you approve first.
A wedding or anniversary guest book. Guests tap and add their own photos and notes to one shared album.
A family photo page for the grandparents, one that keeps growing as the kids do.
Your menu, your portfolio, your social media, or any web address you want.

Choose what your Keeper opens:

Your Link, $9. The tag points to any web address you choose. Change it whenever you like.
Snapshot, $9. A small personalized page (1 photo, text, wifi, and a few other features). Best for Wi-Fi details, a short welcome, or a quick note.
Story Page, $36. About 80 photos, plus text, voice, video, milestones, and a guest book. Choose this one for an Airbnb guide with a guest book or for a memorial.
Together Page, $99. About 500 photos and everything in Story Page, plus your guests can add their own photos and messages, which you moderate. More ways to share and add together are coming soon.

Every option is a one-time price, with no fees ever and unlimited updates at your tier. If you upgrade later, you pay only the difference.

The craft
Each Keeper is cut from solid wood, sanded smooth by hand, and fitted with an NFC tag. I can set the tag flush from the back so it's invisible from the front, or carve a small NFC symbol and the QR code on the front so it's easy to find. The wood comes from my shop's own offcuts, too good to throw away. Every Keeper is one of a kind.

The details

Size: 4" x 4" solid wood block approximately .75" thick, though that can vary.
One embedded NFC tag, plus a QR code sticker at no extra charge so there's always a second way in
Face carved with your logo, monogram, short text, or QR code.
The tag is expected to last 10+ years. If one ever fails, message me and I'll send a new one.

How to personalize

Choose what your Keeper opens (Your Link, Snapshot, Story Page, or Together Page) in the options along with your wood choice. Additionally, choose your edging and finish preference.
In the front personalization box, enter what you'd like carved on the face.
In the back personalization box, let me know what, if anything you'd like on the back (small upcharge).
After purchase, I'll send you a link to set up or edit your page yourself, anytime.

Care
Dust with a dry cloth. Keep it out of standing water and direct sun and it will look good for years.

Questions buyers ask

Will it work with my phone?
Most smartphones made since around 2014 can read NFC. The phone needs to be unlocked, NFC needs to be turned on in settings, and the phone should touch the block, since the tag reads within about an inch. If a phone won't tap, the QR code opens the same page from any camera.

Can guests join my Wi-Fi with one tap?
The tap opens a page showing your network name, with a button that copies the password. Guests paste it into their Wi-Fi settings. A code on the page lets every other device join by scanning it. You can hide the Wi-Fi details anytime without deleting them.

Do I have to pay every month?
No. Every option is one-time, with no fees ever. Your page is hosted for at least 10 years from activation. Your photos and message stay downloadable for free the whole time — and after.

Can I keep my page private?
Yes. Pages can be public or locked with a PIN.

Can I change what it opens later?
Yes. Edit your page or change your link anytime at no charge, and upgrade to a bigger page whenever you're ready.

Can this technology be used on any other of your products?
Yes! Many of my products already include the Crafted page served by an NFC tag and it can be easily upgraded. Order your upgrade here: https://craftedcarvingsus.etsy.com/listing/4558219950/craftedlink-nfc-tag-tap-to-open-link-or

How long until it ships?
See processing time for current estimate.

Any discount for multiples?
Yes, since shipping is baked in to the price, if you wish to buy more than 1 at a time, contact me through Etsy messages. I'll create a listing for you. Savings will depend on how many you purchase and your zip code.
