Ordering NFC Tags Through GoToTags

In this article we will go over the the NFC hardware and encoding requirements and how to order NFC tags through GoToTags.

NOTE:  You can purchase 3rd party NFC tags from various sources, however, GoToTags.com has partnered with us for years as our vendor of choice for high quality and reliable tags that are compatible with our m-Post and Patrol applications.

For compatibility with both iOS and Android devices, you will need to select the physical hardware and type you want and have encoding added to your cart separately. 

Encoding

For maximum compatibility with iOS and Android devices, tags must also be encoded.
IMPORTANT: Without this encoding step, our iOS app will be unable to read your tags.

1. Use this link to select NFC Tag NDEF Encoding Service

2. For "Encoding Data Type", select "UID: NFC chip UID encoded as an NDEF text record". For "Permanently lock NFC chip?" select "Yes: NFC tags will be permanently read-only"
Leave other options blank.

Hardware

Our system works with a diverse range of tags, but the two below are recommended. Select the NFC tag shape you will need from the below options and place the desired quantity in your cart.

We recommend GoToTags' on-metal 30mm round token for tours, seen below.
