- Tap Box overview What a Piing Tap Box does, which credentials it can recognise and how its store assignment controls attribution.
- Install a Tap Box Position a reader, assign it to the correct store, provision its one-time credential and verify a real check-in.
- NFC readers and cards The exact difference between physical NFC cards, Apple Wallet VAS taps and the QR recognition used by Apple and Google Wallet passes.
- While you wait for Apple's tap entitlement Launch QR, kiosk, Shopify POS, scan-in points and physical-card recognition while the brand completes Apple VAS approval.
- Troubleshooting taps Separate reader connectivity, credential linking, store assignment and downstream delivery so a failed tap is fixed at the right layer.
- Scan-in points Use the stable store-specific QR and optional NFC tag so customers can check in on their own phone with no tablet or reader.
- What staff see at POS Every field on the Piing tile in Shopify POS is chosen in one place, from check-in fields and VIP tier to your own customer metafields and Intelligence insights.
