Subsplash Tap—the best alternative to QR codes

‍

Fuzzy QR codes. Broken links. Small screens and missed opportunities. Is your church suffering from QR code fatigue? 

There was a time when QR codes were the easiest way to connect churchgoers with a specified link at your church. But no more! There’s a new kid in town—and we’re so excited about how much easier, more efficient, and more impactful this tool will make your church communications.

So, set aside your QR code generator and step into the world of Subsplash Tap, the fastest way for churchgoers to open any link and take the next right step at your church.

Discover six ways Subsplash Tap goes beyond QR codes to elevate your church communication, boost member engagement, and create a more seamless experience for visitors!

6 reasons why Subsplash Tap is the best QR code alternative

1. Subsplash Tap is easier to manage

There’s a lot going on at your church—from VBS to youth retreats, Sunday services to fundraising campaigns—and keeping up with individual QR codes for each event or resource can quickly become overwhelming.

Subsplash Tap simplifies things. Instead of generating and printing out new QR codes for each item, you can easily update links right from your Subsplash Dashboard. These changes sync automatically across all Tap Discs and Stands—giving you the flexibility to adjust content anytime.

2. More convenient—Just tap & go!

When QR codes stop working due to broken links, small screens, or blurry images, a valuable touchpoint instead becomes a roadblock—a missed opportunity for visitors to connect and engage with your church

That’s why Subsplash Tap is the best alternative to QR codes, offering a convenient and modern approach to church connection and communication. Start a connect card, open a prayer request, find an event, or give to a campaign instantly with just one tap of a phone. Simply tap and go! 

3. Subsplash Tap is more secure than QR codes

Subsplash Tap is a more secure alternative to QR codes, which can be easily tampered with by scammers. QR codes are often printed and placed in public areas, making them vulnerable to being replaced with fake codes that redirect users to phishing sites, install malware, or compromise personal information. 

In contrast, Subsplash Tap gives you full control by embedding NFC technology in physical Discs and Stands that can’t be easily altered or swapped out. Each tap takes users directly to the exact destination you've assigned.

4. Tap Discs & Stands—Customizable to match your brand

Unlike QR codes, you can design your Tap Discs and Stands to match your church’s logo, colors, and branding. 

Place them anywhere—on seatbacks, giving stations, connection centers, youth rooms, entryways, offices, bathrooms, and more. Wherever you place them, you’re helping ensure members and visitors can take the next right step for the greatest convenience and maximum impact. 

5. Subsplash Tap elevates your church technology 

With Subsplash Tap, your church can harness the same NFC technology people already know and love—like tap-to-pay at a restaurant or grocery store. It’s fast, familiar, and trusted. Instead of relying on outdated tools like paper cards or clunky QR codes, Subsplash Tap delivers a seamless experience with just a tap of a phone. This creates an impressive first impression, increasing ministry impact, and unifying all of your tools into one seamless experience.

6.  Subsplash Tap drives more engagement

Short-lived announcement slides make it difficult for visitors to engage with your church, especially when the slide you’re relying on to get people to sign up or engage appears only for a few seconds. But with Subslash Tap Discs and Stands in place, you provide an opportunity to connect for an entire service. That means you can:

• Boost attendance: Make signing up for events and groups simple and convenient
• Encourage generosity: Place discs on seatbacks so people can give at any time
• Create better engagement: Joining groups, giving, event registration—it’s all possible with just a tap
  
  

To boost engagement even further, Subsplash Tap offers a powerful, flexible way to reach churchgoers through link trees and versatile navigation. A link tree page offers a curated approach that makes it easy for people to choose the next step and meets their needs without the clutter of multiple QR codes. 

Churches are already loving Subsplash Tap!

We’ve already received some amazing feedback since launching Subsplash Tap! Check out this video testimony from Ember Church about the impact of Subsplash Tap. As Lead Pastor Dr. Jeff Thorp said, “We tried QR codes, but nobody wants to be the person who pulls out their phone in the middle of a service to scan… Subsplash Tap has been so convenient because, just as it sounds, you tap your phone, it brings up a website, and we can put everything we need on there.” 

Just like Dr. Jeff Thorp’s church, so many others are experiencing the transformative impact of Subsplash Tap! Let your church be one of them, too.
