The Verified Kit
What you get, and what happens after year one.
What comes in the CAN-TAP Verified Kit?
Three parts: 3 door badges (4 × 4 in each), the counter stand (7 × 5 in face), the online business record.
Does buying the kit make my business verified?
No. Your kit includes an online business record. Submit your business details to start its evidence review. Your application stays "Pending review" until its supporting sources have been checked. Payment never grants verification.
What is the door badge for?
Three blue scalloped-check "CAN-TAP VERIFIED BUSINESS" door stickers, each 4 × 4 inches, for your doors or windows. Introduce the CAN-TAP mark before the visit begins. Your reviewed record explains what the badge stands for; display it as verified only after approval.
What does a customer do at the counter stand?
They tap their phone on the stand and the review page you gave us at checkout opens in their browser. What they write, and whether they write anything, is up to them.
Will my business page link to my website?
Yes, once your record passes review. Your business page on can-tap-verified.com links to the website you give us. You can also claim or correct your existing listing in the shared NSO directory. Before review there is no approved CAN-TAP evidence profile, and we do not promise any change in search rankings.
When does the kit ship?
Ships within 24 hours of your order.
What happens after the first year?
Your online record is included for 12 months from activation. After that, renewing is optional: C$49 per year, and we never charge it automatically. If you do not renew, the record shows as expired. The door badges, the counter stand, and the tap to your chosen page keep working either way. Renewing never grants verification; that still depends on evidence review.
Is there a warranty?
Lifetime warranty on the stand.
Can I list my business without buying anything?
Yes. Claiming or correcting a listing is free and needs no purchase.
Shipping
How orders get to you.
Where do you ship from?
CAN-TAP orders ship from Port Colborne, Ontario. Shipping charges and available destinations are shown at checkout.
How long does shipping take?
Stands are programmed and tested before dispatch. Ships within 24 hours of your order. Transit time depends on the carrier and your address, so we do not promise a delivery date.
How much is shipping?
Shipping costs and delivery estimates are shown at checkout for your selected product and address. Review the order total before completing payment.
Do you ship to the US or internationally?
Right now we focus exclusively on Canadian fulfillment. Customers outside Canada should email us first so we can quote shipping properly.
Hardware
What's actually in the box.
What's actually inside the stand?
An acrylic counter stand with a 7 × 5-inch face on a white base. Its NFC chip is programmed with your chosen link before dispatch, and a printed QR code gives customers another way to open that page.
Does it need power or batteries?
No. NFC is passive — the chip draws all the power it needs from the customer's phone during the tap. The stand needs no battery, charger or wiring. The customer’s phone needs an internet connection to open the page.
How durable is the stand?
The acrylic stand is intended for countertop use. Lifetime warranty on the stand. If it is damaged or stops working, contact us with your order number and a photo so we can help.
Software
What you and your customers need.
Do customers need an app?
No CAN-TAP app is required. Customers tap with a compatible NFC phone or scan the QR code to open the destination. They need internet access, and Google requires a Google account to post a review, so they may need to sign in.
Do I need to install software or change my POS?
No. The stand sits on your counter. Staff don't log in, don't track anything, and don't have to learn a new dashboard. The kit is a one-time purchase. Renewal of the online business record after year one is optional.
Can the review link be changed later?
Email info@can-tap-verified.com with your new link and we will tell you what the change involves.
Are there monthly plans?
The kit is a one-time purchase and does not start a subscription. Your online record is included for 12 months from activation. After that, renewal is optional at C$49 per year, never charged automatically.
Compliance
Google policy and Canadian rules.
Is this compliant with Google Business Profile review policy?
Use the same neutral invitation with every customer. Do not offer rewards, ask only happy customers, or route negative feedback away from Google. Customers choose their own rating and words. CAN-TAP is independent of Google; the hardware is not a Google endorsement.
Can I incentivize reviews with a discount?
No — and we discourage it. Google explicitly prohibits incentivizing reviews. Invite customers to describe their actual experience, without a reward or a requested rating.
Where do reviews go?
When configured for Google reviews, the link opens Google on the customer’s phone and the customer submits their review there. Google handles the account and review. See our privacy policy for how CAN-TAP handles information on its own website.
Warranty and renewal
If something goes wrong.
What if my stand breaks?
Lifetime warranty on the stand. Email us a photo and your order number to make a warranty claim.
What happens after 12 months?
Your online record is included for 12 months from activation. After that, renewing is optional: C$49 per year, and we never charge it automatically. If you do not renew, the record shows as expired. The door badges, the counter stand, and the tap to your chosen page keep working either way. Renewing never grants verification; that still depends on evidence review.
