T
o activate your tag, please follow these simple steps:



1.     Activating your Tap4 Account

Read your new Tap4 tag with your mobile phone, by holding your phone close to the NFC tag until it is recognized. (You will see a message prompting you to open the corresponding URL with your web browser).

 

If you already have a Tap4 Account, sign in with your credentials and proceed to Step 4.





2.     Create an account

 

If you don’t have a Tap4 Account, you must create one. Read your new tag and follow the prompts to register for an account. You must provide basic information like your name and email address, and create a password.



 

 

3.     Validate your email address

 

After registering your new account, Tap4 will send a message to the email address that you provided during registration. Open your email inbox, find the email from Tap4, and click on the validation link to verify your email address.


 


4.     Add your Tap4 tag to your account    


Once you are already logged into your account, read your new tag again, by holding your phone close to the NFC tag until it is recognized.



5.     Create a solution profile or Select an existing one for your tag

 

Name your tag so you can identify it in your dashboard.  If you already have a profile set up on Tap4, you can skip to Step 7.

 


6.     Create a solution profile

 

If you don’t have a solution profile, you must create one. Choose between a personal or business profile and select the solution that best fits your needs. Depending on the type of tag you are adding, it will appear as default. Follow the prompts to fill out the necessary information for your chosen profile type. Only fill out the fields with information that you want to share. If you leave fields empty, they won’t be shown in your profile.  Read and accept the disclaimer, save your profile and you are all set! - ignore step 7.



 

7.     Assign the desired solution to your tag

 

After creating or logging into your profile, navigate to your profile inventory within the Tap4 app. Select the solution you want to assign to your NFC Tag and follow the prompts to link the solution to your tag. Once completed, your NFC Tag is now active.



Ready!  Now, tapping your Tap4 Tag will show you the information you provided.
