Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our FYPM X NIPTIP contactless NFC pasties, compatibility, and care.
FYPM X NIPTIP integrates ultra-thin, passive Near Field Communication (NFC) microchips directly inside custom designer pasties. This allows anyone with a smartphone to tap the pastie and instantly open your direct payment link, tip portal, social profile, or exclusive URL without physical card readers or printed QR codes.
Hold a compatible smartphone close to the center of the pastie (within 1–2 inches). The phone detects the embedded NFC chip and immediately triggers an on-screen prompt directing the user straight to your designated link.
No. Most modern smartphones have built-in NFC scanning enabled by default. The person tapping does not need any specialized app or QR scanner—their device automatically prompts the link on contact.
No. A tap safely directs the person to your specific payment gateway (such as Cash App, Venmo, PayPal, or custom pay portal). The tapper must manually enter the amount and confirm the transaction on their own device.
Virtually all modern smartphones equipped with NFC are compatible:
- Apple: iPhone XS, XR, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, and newer (background NFC reading is automatic).
- Android: Most contemporary devices from Samsung, Google Pixel, OnePlus, and Motorola with NFC turned on in settings.
During checkout on FYPM, enter your desired URL (Cash App link, Venmo handle, Linktree, Instagram, website, etc.) in the custom link field. Your FYPM X NIPTIP pastie will arrive pre-programmed and ready to tap immediately.
Yes. If you link a bio/redirect page (like Linktree or your personal domain), you can change where your buttons point anytime. For unlocked pasties, you can also overwrite the tag directly using standard NFC mobile apps.
If pre-encoded at purchase, no activation is required—it works out of the box. If you wish to reprogram an unlocked chip, download a free app such as NFC Tools (iOS/Android), select "Write", input your destination URL, and tap your device against the center of the pastie.
The medical-grade adhesive base is designed for single-use application (lasting up to 8–12 hours) to guarantee strong adhesion, maximum hygiene, and sweat resistance during performances or events.
While the adhesive backing is disposable, the embedded FYPM X NIPTIP NFC microchip remains operational indefinitely. You can carefully salvage the chip after wear and attach it to other body-safe adhesives or accessories.
Yes. All FYPM X NIPTIP pasties use latex-free, hypoallergenic, medical-grade skin adhesive engineered for secure hold with minimal irritation. If you have extra sensitive skin, patch-test a small area on your forearm prior to use.
- Clean the skin thoroughly to remove all body oils, lotions, and moisture.
- Ensure the skin is completely dry.
- Peel off the protective paper liner.
- Center the pastie and press firmly from the center outwards for 10–15 seconds to activate the adhesive bond.
Lift an edge gently and slowly peel back along the direction of hair growth. To ease removal, apply a small amount of warm water, baby oil, or coconut oil along the perimeter to release the bond gently.
Yes. FYPM X NIPTIP pasties are designed for nightlife, stages, and festivals, featuring sweat-resistant and heat-resistant properties that hold strong under vigorous movement.
Store unworn pasties flat in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight, high heat, and humidity to keep both the adhesive and chip in prime condition.
Yes. All FYPM orders ship in plain, discrete packaging with no explicit product descriptions on the outer label to ensure total privacy.
Yes. FYPM products and collaborations are strictly intended for adults aged 18 and older.
- Sensor alignment: iPhones scan near the top edge; Android devices scan closer to the center back.
- Wake device: Ensure the phone screen is lit up and unlocked.
- Check phone case: Thick metal or magnetic phone covers can interfere with NFC transmission.
Due to hygiene and intimate body-contact standards, opened or used adhesive products cannot be returned. If your item arrives damaged or the NFC chip does not scan upon delivery, please contact our support team immediately for a replacement.
