Collecting stamps
The process of collecting a SQUID stamp couldn’t be easier!🦑
You must have the SQUID app downloaded on your phone before tapping the SQUID tag. For help downloading the SQUID app click here.
Tapping with the SQUID tag is only possible with NFC technology. This is present on the majority of modern smartphones but must be enabled by the phone owner.
The basic steps are as follows:
Once the phone is close enough to the SQUID tag, stamps can easily be collected by tapping the phone off the SQUID tag.
Note: Bulky phone cases or holding cards at the back of your phone can interfere with successfully tapping the SQUID tag.
If you are experiencing issues tapping, please restart the app and remove any phone case
If your phone is not picking up the SQUID tag, please search where the NFC scanner is located in your phone and tap as close to the NFC as possible.
Many phone's NFC is placed around the camera area of the phone, however other phone's NFC is placed close to the middle or bottom of the phone.
A notification will appear on screen saying ‘Stamp Added’, and will show the business' loyalty card.
