1. A near-field communication (NFC) device to provide NFC functionality for partial applications accessed over a network, the NFC device comprising:
an NFC reader;
one or more memories; and
one or more processors, communicatively coupled to the one or more memories, configured to:
execute a web-browsing application installed on the one or more memories;
scan, by the NFC reader and in connection with the web-browsing application, an NFC tag of an interaction card associated with an account of a user;
receive, from the interaction card, data associated with the account of the user;
store the data as coded data in the web-browsing application;
generate a uniform resource locator (URL) associated with a partial application,
wherein the partial application has reduced functionality compared to a full version of the partial application, and
wherein the URL includes one or more URL parameters containing the coded data; and
launch the partial application, over the network, based on a user interaction with a hyperlink presented in the web-browsing application and associated with the URL,
wherein the partial application parses the one or more URL parameters and decodes the coded data to be used by the partial application.
