What is Hyper?

Hyper is Linq's newest connection experience that involves an enhanced experience for people tapping your products as well as more options on the owner's end. Hyper provides features like: Page preview when tapped, full-screen page viewing (no browser margins), faster contact saving, and the ability to send push notifications.

What do you mean by faster contact sharing?

Hyper connects directly with IOS contacts app. This means that all the connecting user has to do is Tap your card, click Open, and click Done (with Auto-Download contact turned on in the Hyper settings). The standard Linq experience is a few more clicks due to limitations of the IOS contacts app.

What is the difference between Hyper and non-Hyper products?

The differences between Hyper and non-Hyper Linq products are as follows:

  • Hyper Linq cards use Apple's App Clips technology, which integrates directly with the iOS Contacts app, providing an enhanced experience for iPhone users. Android users will receive the standard Linq experience when scanning a Hyper Linq card.

  • Hyper Linq products utilize this IOS connection to allow for faster contact saving. Just 2 clicks is all it takes.

  • Hyper Linq products offer automatic follow-ups after they connect. This can remind a new contact that doesn’t finish saving your info to go back and do so, or to revisit your page to keep you top of mind. These cease after 48 hours.

  • Non-Hyper products can be quickly reassigned to different pages without any delay, whereas Hyper Linq cards are not recommended for switching between multiple pages right before interactions due to a delay with Apple's system.

Please note that while Hyper Linq products provide a faster contact exchange experience, they are dependent on Apple systems and the backend logic around it, which may introduce some limitations compared to non-Hyper products.

What is an App Clip?

An App Clip is a temporary app that gets installed when a phone connects to a Hyper card. This App Clip is what is used to integrate with IOS systems to make contact saving faster, enable push notifications, and allow them to view your page outside of their browser. The App Clip can be uninstalled at will and will delete on its own after 48 hours.

What can I customize with Hyper?

You can customize the physical printed design on the front when ordering Hyper Linq Card - Custom. You can customize the preview of your page by changing the picture and subtext displayed. You can also customize the follow-up push notifications within the Hyper settings.
