1. Step - Register

Before you can create your dog's profile, you must activate your Dogtap and register first. Activate the NFC function of your smartphone to scan your Dogtap. Depending on the smartphone model, your smartphone's NFC chip is integrated in a different location. If your phone is not NFC-enabled, you can also scan the QR code of the Dogtap.

Now the tap21 web portal is called automatically. There you will first be asked to register. The registration process is similar to common registration processes. You will be asked to leave your e-mail and to think of a password that is as secure as possible. Afterwards you will receive an activation link to the specified e-mail. In your e-mail portal you will now be asked to click this link to activate your email for tap21. After the activation you can log in on tap21 with your e-mail address and your chosen password.

2. Step - Create dog profile

Now that you have registered successfully, you can create a profile for your pet. Under "My Taps" you wil find a list of your Dogtaps. Click on "Edit Dogtap" to create a dog profile.

There you get the possibility to store different information about your dog like his name, his gender, his chip number or your phone number. You are free to decide what information you want to store. You can also choose whether your contact information should be visible or not. Even if you do not want your data to be visible, a finder can contact you if he finds your dog. If you are satisfied with the dog profile, you should save it.

FAQs

  • Ich verreise in ein nicht-deutschsprachiges Land. Wie kann ich die Anzeige des Dogtaps auf Englisch umstellen?

    Die angezeigte Sprache des Dogtaps richtet sich nach der Browsersprache bzw. Gerätesprache des Geräts mit dem der Dogtap gescannt wird. Wird der Dogtap mit einem Gerät mit eingestellter englischer Sprache gescannt, so werden die Überschriften und Buttons automatisch übersetzt.

    Eine Übersetzung der eingegebenen Daten ist aktuell nicht möglich. Diese müssen daher selbstständig angepasst werden.

  • Wie kann ich meinen Dogtap zurücksetzen?

    Du möchtest Deinen Dogtap zurücksetzen, um ihn neu zu verknüpfen oder einem anderen Account zuzuordnen? Das Zurücksetzen ist nur über den Support möglich, damit die Taps nicht aus Versehen gelöscht werden. Jedem Dogtap ist ein individueller Link zugeordnet, der ihn identifiziert.


    Diesen Link findest Du in der Browserleiste und er sieht etwa so aus: https://tap21.de/t/rNqR8SzB5z
    Sehen kannst du ihn, wenn du deinen Dogtap direkt scannst oder dich in deinem Account einloggst. Du wählst den gewünschten Dogtap aus und gelangst zum neuen Fenster mit dem dazugehörigen Profil. Bist du einmal im Profil Deiner Fellnase, siehst du den individuellen Link in der Browserleiste.


    Kopiere und schicke den Link, deinen Account Namen und deine Account E-Mail an unseren Support (support@nfc21.de). Wir bearbeiten deine Anfrage so schnell es geht und melden uns bei Fragen und/oder erfolgreich zurückgesetztem Dogtap.

  • Can I have several dogtaps for one dog?

    Yes, of course. Upon activation you will be asked whether you would like to combine your new dogtap with an already existing dog profile or if you would like to create a new dog profile.

  • Do I need an app to edit the dog profile?

    No, you do not need an app. Either you scan the dogtap and then log in to the Tap21 web portal or you call Tap21 directly in the browser of your computer. There you can select the corresponding dog profile under "My Taps" and edit it.

  • How do I scan my Dogtap correctly, to read out the stored data?

    There are two ways to scan your dog tag with a smartphone or a tablet: with NFC or with a QR Code. If you would like to use NFC, you should enable NFC on your phone.

You also need to consider that the scanning process of a NFC tag depends on the operating system of your device. For iOS you usually need an app, in order to be able to scan a NFC tag.

  • Where can I see or edit my dog's profile?

    There are two ways to view / edit your dog's profile. You can either log directly into the tap21 webportal or you can scan your dog's Dogtap with your smartphone. After scanning you will be automatically redirected to the tap21 web portal. There you can go under "My Taps" and see your dog's profile or edit the data.

  • How can I link two Dogtaps together?

    The linking of two dogtaps leads to them pointing to the same dog profile and thus share the data. So you do not have to enter everything again for the new Dogtap.

    The linking of two dogtaps can be done in three steps:

    •     Scan the dogtap normally to activate it. To do this, log in with the account that is already used for the existing dogtap.
    •     Select "Connect to existing dog profile".
    •     From the list of existing dog profiles, select the desired one to connect the new dogtap to it.

    Afterwards all Dogtaps show the same profile and the data only has to be entered once.
