Step-by-Step Guide

Get an NFC-Enabled Card or Tag

Purchase blank NFC cards or stickers that support NDEF formatting. NTAG215 or NTAG216 chips are ideal.

Tip: NFC cards cost around one to three dollars each and are rewritable

Copy Your NexaLink Card URL

Open the NexaLink app, navigate to your card, and copy the share link.

Tip: Use the short URL for faster NFC reads and a cleaner experience

Program the NFC Tag

Use an NFC writing app like NFC Tools to write your NexaLink URL as an NDEF URL record onto the tag.

Tip: Lock the tag after writing if you do not plan to change the URL often

Test with Multiple Phones

Tap the NFC card against an iPhone and an Android phone to verify it opens your digital card correctly.

Tip: iPhones read NFC from the top edge and Android phones typically from the center back

Design and Order Custom Cards

Once tested, order professionally printed NFC cards with your branding and the embedded NFC chip.

Tip: Include a small NFC symbol on the card so recipients know to tap it
