Type the code printed on the tag (or on your printed code sheet),
then write its link onto the physical tag. On Android (Chrome): tap "Write", then
hold the blank tag to the back of your phone until it buzzes. On iPhone: copy the
link and write it with the free "NFC Tools" app instead (Write → Add a record → URL).
After writing, lock the tag so
nobody with a phone app can ever rewrite it to point somewhere else. Locking is
permanent and can't be undone — try it on one spare tag first to make
sure your tags take it well.
Print this QR on the same label. If a tap doesn't take — or the
phone has no NFC at all — the camera still opens the tool.
Write a CraftedLink product tag
A product tag goes inside a piece you sell. Writing
puts the tag's own permanent link on it — that link never changes,
and it is always what gets written, no matter what the tag currently forwards to.
Where it forwards (your shop, a story page, anywhere) is what you point and
repoint any time from the CraftedLink Tags page — no
rewriting, even years after the piece ships. Pick the tag, write its link, then
lock it before it goes anywhere near a customer piece.
Locking is what stops anyone with a phone
app from repointing a tag that's embedded in a customer's piece — it's permanent,
and for product tags it isn't optional. No QR here on purpose:
the tag hides inside the piece, so there's no label to print one on.
Blank tag with no printed code?
Pick what it's going on — this creates a fresh code, then you write
and lock it right here, same as above. Places show up in this list too: a shop door or
a car created from the dashboard has no tag until you give it one. (It has to exist
first — add a tool, or add a place from the dashboard, then
come back.)
Anything that already has a tag isn't
listed — to replace one of those tags, open its own page.
