How to program NFC Business Cards - Digital business card w/ NFC tools

This video explains how to program an NFC business card using NFC tools which is a free app on the Apple and Android store. I walk you through step by step on how to add a social network like instagram to your NFC card or digital business card. You can add anything to these NFC cards like web links, Facebook, LinkedIn, LinkTree, Contact in Bio, Tik Tok, etc.
Tap Tag offers a multitude of NFC products that you are able to program yourself or get pre-programmed by Tap Tag upon purchase. They are also re-programmable using these same steps in case you want to change the tags contents.

[@Jenson_music]

Hey:) i have the problem, that my mobile phones (Huawei and Googlephone) open the URL in the Browser instead of opening the App, but i did it exactly like you over social networks. do you have any advice?

[@ThatDroneGuyTy]

Hmm that's a good question. It may be the way Huawei and Google do it, I was not aware. The only recommendation I have is to make a digital site that your card links to, like mine links to ThatDroneGuyTy.contactin.bio . maybe after the person is directed to a page like this THEN clicks instagram it may go to the app? Just a shot in the dark. Good news is you can try it live right now on my link

[@ifaiznorismail1914]

hello bro...can make nfc touch and go??please comment

[@FernandoHerboso]

Can you use it as a business card where the user can be prompted to save your information to their contacts automatically? or this is just good to send them to a link?

[@ThatDroneGuyTy]

It has to be a link, but there are many websites that can simulate a business card with this process. Check out this other video I made kzbin.info/www/bejne/jn-cgJqqgdV5qc0

[@chrishodgie5325]

Hi Ty, great videos thanks for the information on nfc. I don’t know if this is a product you can do it with but can you program it to be a discount card or tag? Say like 10% off or $3 off at a checkout? Thanks Chris

[@ThatDroneGuyTy]

Thanks! The card is simply meant to be a relay of information, so if you designed a checkout page on your end with a discount included, this card can direct someone right to that page. Or if you program a member number on the card that your end automatically gives a discount when detected, that would work too

[@chrishodgie5325]

@@ThatDroneGuyTy thanks Ty

[@riantanphotography]

If I ask them to pre-program the card with my link and I would like to modify the link in NFC tools, the modified link in NFC tools will just overwrite the pre-programmed link. Correct? That means, whatever is the most recently added URL link to the NFC tools will be the one activated or be the only one scannable. It will just overwrite everything. Correct? Thank you so much 🤩

[@ThatDroneGuyTy]

Yes that is correct! It will overwrite the previous record

[@mk0459]

Hi, what Is the machine that produce this card?

[@danieltolliver1234]

What if their phone doesn’t work with the card? Is there something they can scan with their camera?

[@ThatDroneGuyTy]

There is not. About 94% of smartphones today have this capability, the only ones that don’t work are phones older than 2017, although there are still a few that have older phones (my dad), they are being phased out day by day as people upgrade. I’d personally say by this time next year, and especially after the next iPhone launch in September, 99% of phones will be compatible

[@yourstruelee7822]

you could create a qr code with your link and have that printed onto the card for those phones the tap won’t work for

[@Pablo.Freshcobar]

How do you edit the info on the card?

[@macbagie]

I was planning to add this one into a school id, will this overwrite the ID inside the card?

[@ThatDroneGuyTy]

It will not overwrite. Schools use a different type of NFC that cannot be altered without a special device

[@squaresaucemedia]

I got a card and the nfc tag doesn’t work at all all my other cards work but the new one... any idea on why that could be?

[@akshaymurali7746]

Does the NFC setting need to be switch on on the phone for it to be able to read the chip?

[@ThatDroneGuyTy]

For android, yes. iPhones XR and newer read automatically

[@colbywilliams5431]

Question for you. I see on the NFC Tools app that I can add contact info. However, it seems like I can only read that info through the app. Do you have a fix for this?

[@ThatDroneGuyTy]

Smartphones only accept a website link natively, nothing else. Raw contact info will not work. However I made another video as a workaround kzbin.info/www/bejne/jn-cgJqqgdV5qc0

[@loriasmar9027]

Great info! I was wondering on what would be my clients phone does it automatically save my contact info to their contact app and does it send their contact info back to me. TIA

[@ThatDroneGuyTy]

Hello! You can program any link, so you can do something like this.. ThatDroneGuyTy.contactin.bio Or if you’re on a phone right now, click this contact card www.vcard.link/card/DD1N.vcf as an example Their phone will not relay their info back unfortunately, unless they had a Tap Tag as well for you to tap

[@princeaabuh]

Is it possible to program my phone to house the business card and also be able to send it to somebody via NFC.

[@ThatDroneGuyTy]

No unfortunately not, i suppose you can airdrop your own contact info but there’s a good chance the other party’s airdrop will be turned off or only allow current contacts to find them

[@princeaabuh]

@@ThatDroneGuyTy Thanks man.

[@mystikyogi]

is there a way to securely write to card so other people can't replace it?

[@ThatDroneGuyTy]

Within the software you can permanently lock the contents of the card so it can never be edited again.

[@startledemu]

Thank you, that was interesting. One query though - can anyone reprogram an NFC card that I might create? My initial concern that that might be possible and that the card could be passed on and people could be mischeviously redirected to another website/ instagram account etc - thank you

[@ThatDroneGuyTy]

Hello! Yes, following these steps leaves the chip open for anyone to reprogram assuming they know how. However, in NFC tools under "Other" on the home page you have the option to password protect the contents, meaning you will have to unlock via password before programming (still scannable) and you also have the option to lock permanently forever. (Still scannable but this is permanent, the tag can never change)

[@startledemu]

[@gabrielinfante5550]

Can any mobile phone scan those tags automatically?

Does NFC need to be turned on on your phone or will these cards turn on NFC automatically?

[@ThatDroneGuyTy]

Yes if it’s an android, however it defaults to ON so it’s likely it’s already on. Apple is always on

[@Scrabbledat]

Can I just my white NFC cards from Amazon to do this?

Yes, not as cool looking though

[@calic6170]

Can you program it as payment? Like credit cards?

[@ThatDroneGuyTy]

Not directly like "Tap to pay now", however you can link to a PayPal payment screen, venmo payment screen, cashapp, etc

[@jimachuff1791]

After i write to the tag and scan with another phone it directs it to website google play store in browser. anyone know what is going on?

[@ThatDroneGuyTy]

Hello! If you are linking to an app, and the receiver does not have the app, it will send them to the App Store to download it first

[@giantkiid]

How did you add venmo to your linktree account? Doesn't give me that option

[@ThatDroneGuyTy]

go to your venmo account where you see your QR screen, then hit share, copy. This copies your profile link you can add to your tower of links. Or copy your profile URL from the browser on the desktop version

[@franbevanda]

I have a question, I do everything but its not poping up automaticly, I need to go to NFC chip reader so it can pop, how can I make it to pop automaticly

[@ThatDroneGuyTy]

Hello! I am assuming you have an iPhone XR or newer? If yes, then I am guessing you may not have included the full link when using the custom URL option. If you just did www.blank.com it will program but iPhone will not read it

[@franbevanda]

@@ThatDroneGuyTy I have iPhone X, and it needs to open NFC tag first, but on my friends iPhone 11 it works well

[@franbevanda]

Is it possible to make an iPhone lower than 11 to open them automatically, or it need to go through NFC tag button first.

[@ThatDroneGuyTy]

@@franbevanda Ah, that iPhone is too old and is not compatible with automatic NFC, which started on the XR then 11, 12, and 13's. However, if you open control center there is a sideways wifi-looking icon. That is your NFC button. You can click that to read the chip rather than opening an app. If you don't see it go to settings>control center and make sure NFC Reader is enabled

[@Baldmanblades]

The card only works if the other person has that nfc function on correct

[@ThatDroneGuyTy]

It is always on in iPhones and works natively. Just the phone has to be “awake” to read the card. For androids, same thing. However for androids the user has the ability to turn off NFC in settings. It’s defaulted on and will only be off is the user turned off at any point during phones life

[@ThatDroneGuyTy]

Hey Raz! Up until the iPhone 12 came out the iPhone 8, iPhone X, and older did not even have the option of NFC, thankfully when Apple updated to iOS 13 they at least added that button you mentioned to make NFC reading possible, because it is far better than having nothing. Unfortunately there is no way to fix this or make it better. Luckily 94% of smartphones can now read NFC out of the box like in this video so it's only a matter of time before these older phones are completely phased out. As far as the Galaxy you mentioned, those phones were able to read NFC since 2013. However NFC may need to be turned on in settings. Also, remember that android typically puts the NFC reader in the center-back of the phone while Apple puts it in the top. Let me know how it goes!
