## FAQ
- Q: Does the customer need to download an app to pay?
  A: No. The NFC sticker launches a mobile web payment page directly in the customer's default browser when tapped. The customer authorises the payment with their phone's built-in authentication (Face ID, Touch ID, fingerprint or PIN). No app download, no account creation and no QR code scanning required.
- Q: What payment processors are compatible?
  A: The NFC tag launches a URL, so it works with any payment processor that provides a hosted checkout page — Stripe, PayPal, Square Online, Adyen, Razorpay, Mercado Pago and hundreds of others. We can pre-configure the NFC tag URL for your specific payment processor during encoding.
- Q: How durable is the sticker in a retail environment?
  A: The sticker uses a durable PET overlay that resists scratches, spills, cleaning agents and UV exposure. In typical countertop use, the sticker lasts 2-3 years before needing replacement. The NFC chip itself has no battery and retains its programming indefinitely. For high-traffic surfaces, we offer a clear acrylic dome overlay that extends physical life to 5+ years.
- Q: How does the sticker comply with PSD2 Strong Customer Authentication in Europe?
  A: The NFC sticker itself is not a regulated payment instrument — it's a URL dispatcher. The actual SCA compliance happens on the hosted checkout page provided by your payment processor (Stripe, Adyen, PayPal, etc.), which is a PSD2-licensed Payment Service Provider. When the customer taps and lands on the checkout page, the Apple Pay / Google Pay flow satisfies SCA through device biometric (inherence factor) + device-bound wallet credential (possession factor), passing the 2-of-3 requirement in Commission Delegated Regulation 2018/389 without triggering a 3-D Secure challenge. For fall-through to manual card entry, the PSP applies 3DS2 / EMV 3-D Secure to complete SCA. The sticker is PCI-out-of-scope because it never carries cardholder data.
- Q: Should I use a static NDEF URL or NTAG 424 DNA dynamic SUN for tap-to-pay?
  A: Depends on the fraud profile and unit economics. Static NDEF URLs (NTAG213 ~USD 0.08 / unit) work well for low-risk merchant environments — coffee shops, tip jars, parking meters — where a cloned or swapped sticker would yield minimal fraud value and the merchant can visually inspect the sticker daily. For higher-value environments — hotel self-check-in, unattended kiosks, art-gallery purchase tags — the NTAG 424 DNA with Secure Unique NFC (SUN) per NXP AN12196 adds an AES-128 MAC to every tap, so a cloned or peeled-and-replaced sticker fails server-side validation within milliseconds. Unit cost rises to ~USD 0.40-0.60, but chargeback exposure drops materially. We can mix both tiers in a single merchant deployment — NTAG213 for low-ticket tip / round-up flows, NTAG 424 DNA for fixed-price purchase stickers.
