Step 0: Purchase an NFC Tag online

You can either buy one on QR Lab directly (coming soon!) or on a site like Amazon.

NFC tags can come in many forms depending on your use case - a sticker or stand with an NFC embedded for your restaurant tables for customers to tap to order and pay or an NFC business card to give your friends and new people you meet, where they can just tap it with their phone to receive your contact information for example. No more carrying a stack of business cards with you.

Step 1: Generate a QR Code at QRlab.com

Begin by visiting QRlab.com to create a QR code. This code will be the foundation of your NFC tag.

Step 2: Convert it to NFC

Once your QR code is ready, go to you account page and hit 'Manage' by the QR code you would like to convert and select 'Make NFC'. This option will convert your QR code into an NFC tag, and mark it with an "NFC" label. 

Step 3: Download the NFC Lab App

For iOS users, download the app from Apple Store. Android users can find it on Google Play.

Step 4: Scan Your QR Code with the NFC Lab App

Open the NFC Lab app and use it to scan the QR code you created. This step links your QR code to the app, setting the stage for NFC programming.

Step 5: Tap and Program Your NFC Tag

Finally, bring your NFC tag close to your device and tap it. This action programs the NFC tag with the information from your QR code. And just like that, your NFC tag is ready to use!

Practical Applications of Your NFC Tag

With your newly created NFC tag, the possibilities are endless. Use it for:

• Business Promotions: Instant access to your business website or portfolio (the “link” category)
