It's easy to program! Program your SMART TAP NFC keychain to link to any website in about 45 seconds.

Pro tip: To get the most out of your SMART TAP NFC keychain, you can make a free personal landing page containing infinite links or a contact card. We use linkt.ree. If you don't already have one, it's super easy to set up (and free!). Do this before programming your keychain.

Download the NFC Tools app (available on both Android and iOS).

Our first step is to download free "NFC Tools" and open it. Easy, next step.

After opening the app you will be greeted with this home page. Click "Write" to move on to the next step. 

Here, you will see a page with three options. Click the first option "Add a record" to move on to step four.

This step greets you with many options to code into your SMART TAP NFC keychain. The recommended option is "Custom URL/URI" or "Social Networks" as they are only options that will work with ALL smartphones.  Move on to next step. 

NOTE Do not use the Contact Option (it doesn't work in iPhones). If you want a contact card, the best option is to make a Linktr.ee (it's free!) or similar tool that acts as a menu to other links

After clicking "Custom URL/URI" the app will bring you to this page. Just copy/paste your web link WITH the https:// . Click "OK" in top right corner when you are done. Be careful not to accidentally add a space before or after the link when copy/pasting as it will cause an error. 

You can link to any website, Instagram, Link Tree, SoundCloud, Youtube video/channel, Venmo, PayPal, Photo/album link, LinkedIn, Tik Tok, Pinterest, restaurant menu, the list goes on!

After clicking "OK" you will be brought back to this page, this time your Custom URL will be added. You will also notice the app tells you the amount of space your link takes up, in this case 16 Bytes. It must be under 256 bytes. 

NOTE Smartphones only understand one single link, adding multiple items here will not work. To get the most out of your SMART TAP NFC keychain, you can make a free personal landing page containing infinite links or a contact card.

Click "Write" to be prompted with an NFC "Ready to Scan" message

Now your smartphone is looking for an NFC tag to encode.

For iPhone, hold the top-center of your phone within 1 inch of your SMART TAP NFC keychain while this message is up (as seen in picture).

For android, place backside-middle of phone onto your SMART TAP NFC keychain.

Your smartphone will make a sound and/or vibrate when your NFC tag is officially encoded, which takes less than one second. If you get a red exclamation, simply try again. 

This check mark symbolizes that your SMART TAP NFC keychain is programmed! That's it! You did it! You can test your SMART TAP NFC keychain by holding your smartphone near it. Your phone should automatically receive the information you encoded via a drop down notification.

You do not need an app to read your SMART TAP NFC keychain, any compatible phone will read the tag within 3 inches as long as the screen is on. Smartphones often take 1-2 seconds to scan. Some android phones may need to have "NFC" turned on in settings. 

If you choose to re-program another link into your tag simply repeat these steps to overwrite the previous link.
