Frequently Asked Questions

What are Kitetags?

Kitetags are NFC tags that contain both pre-encoded data and custom unique data that you can add and modify on the Kitetags platform. You can configure your Kitetags with an interaction that uses the unique data of each.

What is the Kitetags platform?

The Kitetags platform is a web-based NFC tag management solution. After creating an account, Kitetag Managers can update the unique data associated with each Kitetag and configure what happens after somebody taps it with an NFC-enabled smartphone.

How do Kitetags work?

Today's smartphones can read a URL encoded on an NFC tag without needing an app. Tapping a Kitetag with a phone opens a browser page that delivers an experience as configured by its Kitetag Interaction

How do I get started with Kitetags?

See our Getting Started page to learn how easy it is.

How does KiteTags connect with other tools?

Use URL redirects, Zapier, webhooks, and VCards to connect interactions with the tools and workflows you already use.

What devices do I need to use Kitetags?

Kitetag Managers (account owners) should login and setup their Kitetags with a computer for the best experience.

Any person with a smartphone equipped with NFC (these include iPhones and Android phones) can tap and interact with a Kitetag.

What built-in data do Kitetags have?

Basic Kitetags have two types of built-in data: UID and callsign. UIDs (unique ID) are permanently encoded in NFC chips and are one-of-a-kind. However, UIDs can be difficult for people to read so each Kitetag also displays an easy-to-read callsign. Both UIDs and callsigns are available for use in Kitetags Interactions.

Built-in data cannot be changed.

What kind of custom data can I add to my Kitetags?

Our platform allows you to add, modify, and delete any type of unique data for each Kitetag. Types of data include text, numbers, dates, URLs etc.
