Setting up hiddencontact: step-by-step guide

You've received your hiddencontact tag – and you're wondering exactly how the setup works? No worries: the entire process takes less than 5 minutes and you don't need an app, any technical knowledge, or an account with a third-party provider.

What you need

Just your hiddencontact tag and a smartphone. Setup starts directly with the first scan.

Step 1: Scan the QR code – the first scan starts registration

Simply scan the QR code on your tag or product. You'll be guided through the setup automatically – just follow the steps. No separate activation code, no manual entry.

Step 2: Set up your public profile

Add any information you want visible when scanned – completely self-determined. You decide what's open: a first name, a return request, a finder's reward note, or for SOS profiles, voluntary emergency information like blood type or allergies. What you don't share stays invisible.

You're in control

You can adjust the public profile at any time afterwards – no new tag needed.

Step 3: Set up anonymous forwarding

Enter your preferred channel: WhatsApp, SMS, call, or email. hiddencontact notifies you anonymously, securely, and in real time – the finder never learns your number or address.

Step 4: Optional upgrade or use for free permanently

With the BASIC plan, hiddencontact is free to use permanently – no expiry date and no hidden costs. If you want more, you can upgrade at any time: more channels, extended profile options, and additional features are available in the paid plans.
