How To Activate Your NFC Smart Accessories
So long as you have an active OneTapConnect account and microsite, you can activate your own near field communication (NFC) Smart Accessories using the OneTapConnect mobile app.
You will need to download and log in to the OneTapConnect mobile app to activate your Smart Accessories. If you haven't already, you can download the OneTapConnect mobile app using the appropriate link below:
- iPhone users: Get it on the Apple App Store
- Android users: Get it on the Google Play Store
For more information on installing and logging in to the app, see How to install and log in to the OneTapConnect mobile app.
Important notes:
- NFC readers are located near the tops of iPhones and near the center or upper-middle area of Android devices. Also, Android users can disable NFC readers in their phone's settings. This is helpful to know while activating and using your NFC Smart Accessories.
- You do not need to activate every individual accessory in a plastic-wrapped SmartPack of Smart Accessories. Activate one, and the rest will be automatically activated at the same time.
- Custom cards have unique IDs and will need to be activated separately from plastic-wrapped SmartPacks of Smart Accessories.
