Configuration: chips, redirects and destination

Every plate leaves us fully configured. This page explains what we do behind the scenes and what you can ask us to change later.

Writing and locking the chips

Each NFC chip is written with a single record: the Steevanz redirect address. Once written and tested, the chip is permanently locked (write-protected).

• Nobody can rewrite the plate with an NFC app, whether as a prank or with bad intent.
• Locking is irreversible: the content stored on the chip never changes again.
• The final destination can still be changed, because the chip points to our redirect rather than straight to Google.

Dynamic redirect

The chip and the QR code point to a Steevanz short link. When someone taps the plate, our server immediately forwards them to your profile's review link. The customer won't notice: the redirect takes a fraction of a second.

This setup has three practical benefits: you can change the destination without swapping plates, we can fix problems quickly, and we can count how many times each plate has been used.

Changing where your plates point

Sometimes your review link changes: a move to a new address, merging duplicate listings, a new profile after a suspension, or simply deciding to point a plate at another branch.

1. 1

   Get the new link

   Follow the steps on the setup page to get your new review link.

2. 2

   Send us the request

   Send the new link via WhatsApp or email, saying which plates should be updated (all of them, or only those at a given location).

3. 3

   Confirm with a test

   We update the redirect and let you know when it's live. Tap a plate to confirm.

Multiple locations or profiles

If you have more than one location, each has its own Google profile and therefore its own link. We tag plates by location so nothing gets mixed up: reviews for your Porto shop never end up on your Lisbon profile.
