Can NFC cards be used as contact cards?
-
Yes, the NFC cards can be used as contact cards when programmed with an appropriate URL. We recommend visiting vCard.Link or linktr.ee to create a free custom URL for your contact card. Provide us with the URL, and we can encode it onto your NFC Metal Business Card!
-
Can each chip be programmed with a different URL?
-
Yes, each chip can be programmed with a different URL. This is useful for tracking who visits your site or for members of a loyalty membership program.
Please provide us with an Excel file containing the URLs you want encoded onto the cards.

How does NFC work?
-
NFC chips enable wireless transfer of small amounts of data between two devices. Both the chip and the receiving device need to be within a few centimeters of each other. The data transferred is a website URL.
-
How do I encode on my NFC chip myself?
-
Here are the steps you can follow to enode your NFC cards with a URL:
Step 1 – Download the application NFC Tools by Wakedev on your iPhone or Android.
Step 2 – Add a record through the “Write” function.
Once downloaded, open the application, and tap “Write” on the first menu. Then, select “Add a record” on the next screen to begin adding your data. Select URL and be sure to enter that URL you would like your card to direct to into the application. To write multiple records of data, repeat this step.
Step 3 – Input the information onto the NFC card
Once you have entered your record onto the application click “Ok” in the top right corner. To encode this information on your card, click on the “Write” option in the next menu. From here it will prompt you to hold your phone near the NFC chip, and encode the chip. You should receive a notification from the app if the encoding is successful. Please note: The locations of the antennas for each phone may vary. iPhones are normally on the top middle of the phone while Androids are typically in the middle back of the phone.
Step 4 – Test the newly encoded chip
You should now be able to use the chip to transfer data on both iPhones and Androids. To see if the data has been encoded simply go back to the main menu screen by clicking “Menu” in the top left corner of the application. Then, tap “Read” and hold the new NFC chip near your phone. Your new data should then appear on the screen.
From there you should be good to go!

Can I re-write my NFC chip later?
-
Yes, you can use a free app called NFC Tools, available on both the Apple and Google app stores. This app makes it easy to rewrite each card with a different URL.
