Make your Zeyto Card an NFC card
One tap of a phone opens your card. It takes about ten minutes, a few dirhams of blank cards or stickers, and a free app. The QR code on your printed card stays as the backup.
From card link to tap in six steps
Publish your card
Finish your Zeyto Card in My Zeyto and publish it. Copy the link, for example zeyto.app/card/your-handle. Pick your handle carefully before you write it to a tag.
Buy blank tags
Look for NTAG213 or NTAG215 cards or stickers. NTAG213 is enough for a web link; NTAG215 has more room. Plain white PVC cards can be printed on with your Zeyto Card artwork.
Install a free writer app
On Android or iPhone, use any free NFC writer. NFC Tools and NXP TagWriter are two common ones. Open it and choose to write a new record.
Write the link
Add a record of type "URL / URI", paste your full card link starting with https:// and press Write. Hold the top back of the phone against the card until the app confirms.
Test it
Tap the card with a different phone, ideally one iPhone and one Android. Your card should open on its own. If it does not, check that NFC is switched on and try again slowly.
Lock it (optional)
When you are sure it works, use the app's lock option so nobody can overwrite the tag. Locking cannot be undone, so only lock a tag you have tested.
Print the front and back
Your card page in My Zeyto has a print sheet with your name, headline and QR code on the front and your skills and contact details on the back, at 90 x 55 mm with bleed and crop marks. Print it and have it laminated, or order printed cards from a print shop and stick an NFC sticker inside. Keep the QR code on the front: it works on every phone and needs no setup.
Privacy
- The tag holds only your public card link. It contains no personal data of its own.
- What a visitor sees is what you chose to show on your card. You decide whether your phone number or email appears at all.
- Zeyto counts visits to your card page, one per visitor per day, so you can see whether your card is being used. It does not know who tapped.
If a tap does nothing
- Android: switch NFC on in settings and hold the middle of the back of the phone to the card for a second.
- iPhone: hold the top edge of the phone to the card. Phones older than the iPhone XS need an app to read tags; the QR code is the way to go there.
- Rewrite the tag if the app reports an error. If it was locked, you will need a new tag.
NFC card questions
Do you sell NFC cards?
No. Zeyto does not sell cards or stickers. They are cheap and sold by many suppliers. You only need blank NTAG213 or NTAG215 cards or stickers, and your Zeyto Card link.
Does the person tapping need an app?
No. Recent iPhones (XS and newer) and almost all Android phones read an NFC tag when the top of the phone touches it, and open the link in the browser. An older phone can scan the QR code on the card instead.
Can I change my card after writing the tag?
Yes. The tag only holds the link. Edit your card as often as you like and the tag keeps working. If you change your handle, the old link keeps redirecting.
Is it safe?
The tag stores a public web address and nothing else. It cannot hold your passwords and it does not track anyone. Anyone who taps it sees exactly what your public card shows.
Should I lock the tag?
Locking makes it read-only forever, so nobody can overwrite it. Do that only after you have tested it and are sure the link is right.
