While the usage area of the QR Code in our lives is expanding and being loved very much, the NFC, which is spoken in low voice, is not yet known and used because of its narrow usage area. Do you think the QR Code and NFC replaces someone? If you ask me, they are very good technologies that can work in many areas. This article was written to indicate the differences between the two. Of course, they have superiorities in different areas. It seems that within a few years NFC; markets, metrobus, tram, in our homes, private vehicles and many more will come across us.

How to generate QR Code?

• Let’s open the page of the process we want to make. For example, let’s create a QR Code that redirects to hataverdi.com.
• As mentioned above, we are writing our link on the “Url” page. We produce QR Code.
• We can now use the generated QR Code as we wish. Remove it from the printer or publish it digitally.

How to Assign NFC Tags ?
