Write Your Own NFC Tag

Many companies sell pre-programmed NFC business cards at a premium. With Meetili, you can do it yourself. You create a free digital card, then write it to a compatible blank NFC tag using Meetili\u2019s built-in NFC writer.

This means you can use any compatible NFC tag — a card, a sticker, a key fob or any other NFC form factor — and write your Meetili card link to it. You are not tied to a specific supplier or a proprietary card.

How to Create Your Own NFC Business Card

Seven steps from sign-up to tap-to-share.

1

Create a Meetili digital Business Card

Sign up for a free Meetili account and add your contact details, photo, social links and any other information you want to share. Your card is ready in a few minutes.

2

Obtain a compatible writable NFC card or tag

Purchase a blank writable NFC card or tag. Common types include NTAG213, NTAG215 and NTAG216. These are widely available from online retailers and are inexpensive.

3

Open Meetili’s NFC-writing feature

On a compatible device, open your Meetili card and use the built-in NFC writer. The writer guides you through the process step by step.

4

Write the permanent card link to the NFC tag

Meetili writes a permanent URL to the tag — not your mutable web address. This means the tag keeps working even if you later change your custom web address.

5

Tap the NFC tag against a compatible phone

Hold the written NFC tag near someone’s NFC-enabled phone. Their phone detects the tag and opens your Meetili card in a browser.

6

Your Meetili digital card opens

The other person sees your contact details, social links and any other information you have chosen to share. They can save your details to their phone with one tap.

7

Update your digital card anytime

When you change your phone number, email, photo or any other details, update them in Meetili. The NFC tag automatically opens your updated card — no need to rewrite the tag or buy a new one.

What You Need

Three things to get started with your own NFC business card.

A Meetili account

Sign up free at meetili.com. No credit card required to create your digital card.

A compatible NFC tag

A blank writable NFC card or tag (NTAG213, NTAG215, NTAG216 or similar). Widely available and inexpensive.

An Android phone with NFC

NFC writing requires an Android device with NFC enabled and a compatible browser such as Chrome. The Meetili Android app also supports NFC writing.

Device and Browser Requirements

NFC writing has specific device requirements. It is important to understand these before you start, so you know whether your device can write an NFC tag.

Supported

  • Android phone with NFC hardware enabled
  • Chrome browser on Android (Web NFC)
  • Meetili Android app (native NFC bridge)

Not Supported for Writing

  • iPhone and iPad — Apple does not expose Web NFC to the browser
  • Desktop computers — no NFC hardware
  • Android phones with NFC disabled in settings

If you are using the Meetili Android app and NFC writing is not available, you can hand off to the Chrome browser to complete the write. iPhone users can still create and share a Meetili card using a QR code or personal link — only NFC writing is unavailable on iOS.

Why Write Your Own NFC Tag?

Writing your own NFC tag gives you flexibility and control that pre-programmed cards do not.

Use any compatible tag

You are not tied to a proprietary card. Use a card, sticker, key fob or any other NFC form factor that suits you.

No expensive pre-programmed card

Standard NTAG tags are inexpensive and widely available. You do not pay a premium for a pre-written card.

Permanent link, not mutable

Meetili writes a permanent URL to the tag. If you change your custom web address later, the tag keeps working.

Update without rewriting

The tag stores a link to your digital card, not your contact details. Update your card in Meetili and the tag reflects the changes automatically.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about creating your own NFC business card with Meetili.

Can I write my own NFC business card?
Yes. With Meetili, you can write your own digital business card to a compatible blank NFC card or tag. You do not need to buy a pre-programmed digital business card. Create a free Meetili card, then use the built-in NFC writer to write your card link to the tag.
What kind of NFC tag do I need?
You need a compatible writable NFC card or tag. Common types include NTAG213, NTAG215 and NTAG216. These are widely available from online retailers and are inexpensive. The tag needs enough memory to store a short URL — even the smallest NTAG213 is sufficient.
Can I create an NFC business card on iPhone?
No. iPhone and iPad cannot write NFC tags through Meetili. Apple does not expose Web NFC to the browser, so NFC writing is not available on iOS. You can create and share your Meetili card on iPhone using a QR code or personal link, but writing an NFC tag requires an Android device with NFC and a compatible browser such as Chrome.
Do I need to buy a special NFC card?
No. You can use any compatible writable NFC card or tag. You do not need a proprietary or pre-programmed card. Standard NTAG tags work with Meetili’s NFC writer. This means you can choose the design, size and quantity that suit you.
Can I update my card after writing it to NFC?
Yes. The NFC tag stores a permanent link to your Meetili card, not your contact details. When you update your digital card in Meetili, anyone who taps the tag sees your updated information. You do not need to rewrite the tag or buy a new one.
How much does it cost to create an NFC business card with Meetili?
Creating a Meetili digital card is free. The only cost is the NFC tag itself, which you purchase separately. Standard NTAG tags are widely available and inexpensive. There are no subscription fees for the NFC-writing feature.
What if my phone cannot write NFC tags?
If your phone does not support NFC writing, you can still create and share your Meetili card using a QR code or personal link. If you are using the Meetili Android app and NFC writing is not available in the app, you can hand off to the Chrome browser to complete the write.
