Your NFCHub keychain just arrived — congratulations! Here's what to expect and how to get it working in a few minutes.

What you'll receive

Your NFCHub keychain comes already programmed with your unique link — no setup needed on the chip itself. Whether you ordered a Social Media keychain, a Custom Logo/Initials keychain, or a Smart vCard keychain, the NFC chip is ready to tap the moment you receive it.

Check your email for login credentials

If you ordered a Smart vCard keychain, you also need access to your NFCHub dashboard to set up your vCard. We send a welcome email from NFCHub with your username and a temporary password as soon as your order is processed. Search your inbox for "Welcome to NFCHub".

💡 Can't find the email?Check your spam or junk folder. If still not there, message us on WhatsApp at +225 07 10 61 28 50 and we'll resend it.
