Mobile Application Integration & Hardware Write Workflows

Manage NFC hardware, link profiles, write NFC chips, and share contact information through the mobile application.

3 steps

Bridge the gap between digital identity and physical items by using the mobile application and native Near Field Communication (NFC) hardware compilation toolsets.

1 Linking and Unlinking Virtual Profiles via the Mobile App

To control your hardware profile mappings directly from the mobile app interface, execute these configuration steps.

  • Open the mobile app interface, tap the Settings icon on the lower navigation tray, and open the "My NFC Cards" dashboard.
  • To Unlink an Existing Asset: If a physical hardware card is tied to an old profile, tap "Unlink" next to the record to release the hardware ID.
  • To Link a New Profile or Store: Tap "Link" on the unlinked asset.
  • The application displays an interactive listing of your profiles and WhatsApp mini-stores.
  • Select your target asset and confirm the action.
  • The application returns a "Virtual Card Successfully Linked" confirmation alert.
2 Programming Physical Hardware (Write to NFC)

Once the virtual link is established, write the digital signature into the physical chip embedded within your hardware asset.

  • Tap the dedicated "Write" button located inside the card management interface.
  • The smartphone operating system opens an on-screen dialog displaying "Ready to Scan".
  • Position the physical wiCard hardware asset near the smartphone NFC antenna location, typically on the upper rear area of the device.
  • Gently tap the NFC product against the smartphone.
  • The application transmits the required data payload instantly.
  • The secure profile code is written to the physical NFC chip.
  • The smart product becomes active and ready for offline contact sharing.
3 Alternative Contact Sharing Channels

If a recipient device does not support NFC functionality, share credentials using the following alternative methods.

  • QR Code: Display a dynamic QR code on the mobile device screen for instant camera scanning.
  • WhatsApp Broadcast: Send a pre-formatted profile link directly to a WhatsApp contact.
  • Social Distribution: Share the profile URL or subdomain across messaging platforms, social networks, and professional communities.
