Getting Started with Your NFC Tagify Card

Just received your NFC card? Whether you're new to Tagify or already have a profile set up, this guide will walk you through everything you need to know—how to create a profile, link your card, switch between profiles, and personalise your setup.

If you've already created your profile, you can jump straight to Section 2 to learn how to link your card. If not, start from Section 1 to get everything set up step by step.

Section 1: Creating Your First Profile

If you don’t already have a profile, don’t worry—setting one up is easy. Start by tapping the card with your smartphone:

iPhone: Tap on the top of the phone
Android: Tap on the back of the phone

You’ll be redirected to the App Store (iPhone) or Google Play (Android) to download the Tagify app. Once installed, follow these steps:

Open the app and tap Create Account
Enter your email and a password.
Press Create a Profile
Choose a name for your profile (e.g. Business, Personal, Work1, etc.) and confirm

Once your profile is created, you can add your details:

Info tab: add your name, email, phone number, and other contact details
Links tab: insert links to social media (LinkedIn, YouTube, Twitter, etc.)
Display tab: upload your profile photo, cover image, and customise colours Read more

You can also choose how your profile is laid out—Classic, Icons, or Links style. Want to learn more about how to customise your profile’s colours and layout? Read more here.

Once you’re done, press Save (top right), then tap the icon in the top left corner of the screen to return to your dashboard. Your profile is now ready.

Section 2: Linking Your Card

Once your profile is complete, it’s time to link your NFC card so it becomes active:

In your profile dashboard, press the orange Link to NFC Card button
If your card has a QR code (generated by us), choose Scan QR Code
If your card doesn’t have a QR code or has a custom one, select Use Mobile NFC Reader Instead

After a successful link, your profile will show "Linked to Device" at the top. Your card is now live—anyone who taps it will see what you’ve built.

Section 3: Creating and Switching Between Profiles

Tagify lets you create up to 6 different profiles—so you can set one up for each purpose: business, personal, freelance, content creation, events, and more.

To create a new one:

Go to your profile dashboard
Tap the “+” symbol at the top of the screen
Repeat the same steps from Section 1 to set up your new profile

To switch the card between profiles:

Open the profile currently linked to your card
Tap "Linked to Device" at the top, then press "Unlink Physical Card"
Go to the profile you want to link
Repeat the process in Section 2 to link the card again

This allows you to keep your card flexible and reuse it in different settings—without needing a new card each time.

Section 4: Set the Tap Behaviour

Each profile gives you full control over what happens when someone taps your card. You can choose between:

Visual Profile – Opens your full digital profile with layout and links
Instant Contact Download – Automatically saves your contact to their phone
Direct to URL – Sends the user to your website, Pay.Me, TikTok, or YouTube page

You can switch tap modes anytime from your profile settings. Read more about tap behaviour here.
