How it works

How does the SwopBand Ring work?

With a simple tap, SwopBand opens your digital world on their phone, instantly and effortlessly, right in their browser, with no apps, downloads, or setup required. The tech does the work, so you can stay present in the moment. If your new connection already has the SwopBand App, your profile natively opens in their app and also saves your profile under their “Connections” tab.

Does the receiver need a SwopBand app and ring?

No, they don’t need an app or a ring. One tap of your ring opens your digital profile in their browser, instantly. However, for an enriched experience, we recommend they download the app to quickly access your profile under their “Connections” tab.

Can I share my URL with anyone online?

Yes. Your Swop profile has a unique URL that you can share anywhere. From social media to email signatures. It’s your digital space to shape, designed to be as open or as private as you choose.

Can I update my profile anytime?

Absolutely, your Swop profile evolves with you. Update links, add projects, or refresh your look anytime, and it goes live instantly. SwopBand ensures anyone you meet sees the most authentic, up-to-date version of you.

Does the receiver need to turn on their NFC?

Yes, in order for the ring to be recognized by the receiver's device, the NFC settings in their phone must be enabled. This can be adjusted in their device settings. Modern phones typically have NFC settings turned on by default.

Troubleshooting

My profile is not opening when I Swop

If your profile isn’t opening when you Swop, check that your SwopBand Ring is linked to your account in the app. A quick refresh or re-pair usually fixes it in seconds. If you still need additional support, send feedback directly from your app or connect with us on the website.

I have to tap my ring multiple times before my Swop profile opens

Every phone has its own sweet spot (or as we call it, Swop Spot). For example, on an iPhone, you should tap your SwopBand on the spot located on the back, near the top, around the camera area. On most Android phones, you can tap the back, either in the middle or slightly higher, though the exact position can vary by manufacturer.
