What to do

Show the physical keepsake and say that it holds a personal digital memory. Mention the QR code as an option and offer help if wanted. Let the recipient choose when to explore it.

A practical example

This gift has a message attached to it; scanning this code is one way to open it.

Before you continue

Do not assume NFC works identically on every device or change the recipient's phone settings without permission.

Use the current instructions for your gift

Keep the physical gift and your prepared content together while you work. Follow the prompts shown for the item you are using, and pause if the outcome of a step is unclear. Save your original message and media separately so you can identify exactly what you intended to use.

For current instructions and official support links, visit the iTripe FAQ. This guide focuses on preparation and use; the live form provides the available options and requirements for your gift.
