Is there any way to add a toggle for NFC without root?
I am liking using my phone to pay for stuff.. but I like the ease of swiping down to turn on and off NFC before and after I use it to pay. As well as the quick visual of being able to see if it is on without swiping down, touching gear, and then touching more... Am I being paranoid that someone may be scanning for NFC devices and this is why I do not want it on all the time? Is there a way to give Android pay the ability to turn it on and off when it opens and closes?
I noticed quick tiles can add a toggle for this... But alas it requires root... And from what I understand root and Android pay is not a smart idea even if there is a way to make it work.

I use Tiles (though it is a paid app):

Does tiles actually turn on and off NFC or just send you to the settings page for you to turn it on or off?
Already found a solution that got me that far.

Absolutely.
