Have a playlist you want to give to someone? At Gift a Playlist we place that playlist into a real gift!
When you tap your phone against the gift, your playlist will pop up! It uses your phone's NFC, the same technology used for Apple Pay.
Creating a custom order is super simple. Here are the main steps:
- Create your playlist in any music app (like Spotify or Apple Music)
- Copy the share link for your playlist
- Find a photo you want to add as personalization
- Choose the product you want to purchase. Add the link to your playlist and the photo on the product page
- The photo will appear as it will on your product. Check to make sure your photo is cropped nicely!
- Place your order :D
That's it! It's easy. If you have more questions feel free to reach out or look at more of our FAQs.
The NFC reader location varies by phone model. For most iPhones, it's near the top of the back. For Android phones and other models, see our NFC Reader Location Guide. Make sure NFC is enabled in your phone settings (NFC Settings Guide).
Ensure that:
- You know how to tap your phone (NFC Reader Location Guide)
- NFC is enabled in your phone settings (NFC Settings Guide)
- You're holding your phone close to the product for 1-3 seconds
