Create your NFC PAL account
Register your business and verify your email address. Your account provides access to the merchant workspace as onboarding becomes available.
Get Started with NFC PAL
Create your business account, explore a subscription, establish your own merchant payment relationship, and prepare your customized NFC payment experience.
Six steps to get started
Follow this straightforward onboarding process. Some capabilities require account approval, subscription activation, device provisioning, and certified payment processing.
Select a subscription
Compare the NFC PAL plans and choose the transaction allowance and features that best fit your business. Subscription purchasing remains subject to activation.
Establish your merchant account
Your business establishes its own merchant payment-processing account through supported provider onboarding when this integration is enabled. NFC PAL is not your merchant account.
Choose NFC products
Explore NFC stickers, cards, countertop displays, and other customizable products for your locations and customer payment workflows.
Register and activate devices
Once available, register each NFC device and associate it with the appropriate business, location, and supported payment destination.
Launch your payment experience
Following all required approvals and activation, customers can tap a compatible phone to access the payment destination associated with your tag.
Current availability:
Subscription purchasing, live NFC device registration,
and payment processing must remain disabled until
their respective production certifications and
activation steps are complete.
How NFC PAL technology works
NFC stands for Near Field Communication. A compatible smartphone reads the programmed NFC tag when brought close to it. The tag can direct the customer to an NFC PAL web experience, invoice, or other authorized payment destination. The NFC tag itself does not process a payment.
NFC PAL is designed to help businesses manage NFC devices, associate them with payment workflows, and provide customers with convenient ways to access their payment information.

Frequently asked questions
Answers to common questions about accounts, subscriptions, merchant processing, and NFC devices.
Do I need my own merchant account?
Yes. Each business establishes its own merchant payment-processing relationship. NFC PAL is designed to facilitate the onboarding and connection process through supported integrations when enabled.
Does NFC PAL process my customers' payments?
NFC PAL provides payment workflow technology. Actual payment processing is performed through an authorized payment provider associated with your merchant account, subject to activation.
How does an NFC tag work?
A compatible smartphone reads information from a nearby NFC tag. The tag may open a secure web page or payment destination. The customer completes any available payment through the supported processing flow.
Does the customer need to download an app?
A compatible phone can generally open an NFC-programmed web URL without a dedicated NFC PAL app. Actual behavior depends on the device, operating system, and NFC settings.
Can I use NFC PAL at multiple locations?
NFC PAL is being designed for multi-location operations, including device assignments and location-specific workflows. Availability depends on the activated plan and completed platform capabilities.
Can I customize my NFC tags?
Custom branding is a planned product catalog capability. Available formats, artwork requirements, minimum quantities, and pricing will be specified when ordering is enabled.
Can I connect an NFC tag to a specific invoice?
NFC PAL is being designed to support device-to-invoice assignments and authorized tap routing. Live invoice allocation and payment routing are not yet enabled.
Can I choose monthly or annual billing?
The pricing catalog displays monthly and annual subscription options. Annual pricing and transaction allowances vary by plan. Purchasing is not available until activation.
Can NFC PAL integrate with my existing software?
NFC PAL's planned integrations include external business and legal practice platforms. Availability will depend on supported providers, authorization, and completed integration certification.
