Getting Started with NexaLink Card
This guide walks you through downloading the NexaLink Card app, creating your account, building your first digital business card, and sharing it with someone.
Download the App
NexaLink Card is available on both major mobile platforms:
- iOS: Open the App Store, search for "NexaLink Card", and tap Get. Requires iOS 16 or later.
- Android: Open Google Play, search for "NexaLink Card", and tap Install. Requires Android 12 or later.
The app is free to download. You can create and share one card at no cost, with optional upgrades for additional features.
Create Your Account
When you open the app for the first time, you will see the sign-up screen. Two authentication methods are available:
Email OTP
- Tap Continue with Email.
- Enter your email address and tap Send Code.
- Check your inbox for a 6-digit verification code (check spam if it does not arrive within 60 seconds).
- Enter the code in the app. You will be signed in automatically.
Apple Sign-In (iOS only)
- Tap Continue with Apple.
- Authenticate with Face ID, Touch ID, or your device passcode.
- Choose whether to share or hide your email address. If you hide it, Apple provides a relay address.
- You will be signed in immediately.
No password is required for either method. Future logins use the same flow.
Onboarding Flow
After signing in, the app guides you through four quick steps:
Step 1 -- Role Selection
Choose the role that best describes you:
- Professional -- Corporate, consulting, or enterprise roles
- Freelancer -- Independent contractors and solopreneurs
- Creative -- Designers, photographers, artists, musicians
- Student -- Currently enrolled in an educational program
Your selection determines the default template style and suggested fields. You can change this later.
Step 2 -- Card Setup
Enter your core information:
| Field | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Full Name | Yes | Displayed as the primary name on your card |
| Job Title | No | Your role or position |

| Yes | Pre-filled from your account email; editable | |
| Phone | No | Mobile or work number with country code |
Step 3 -- Template Selection
Browse the available templates and tap one to preview it with your information filled in. Free accounts have access to 5 templates. Pro and Premium accounts unlock additional designs.
Step 4 -- Preview
See a full-screen preview of your card exactly as recipients will see it. Tap Looks Good to finalize or Edit to go back and make changes.
Create Your First Card -- Step by Step
If you skipped onboarding or want to create a card from scratch:

Share Your First Card
Once your card is saved, you have two immediate sharing options:
QR Code
- From the card detail screen, tap the QR Code icon.
- A full-screen QR code appears. Have the other person scan it with their phone camera.
- They will see your card in their mobile browser -- no app required on their end.
Link
- Tap the Share icon on the card detail screen.
- Tap Copy Link to copy your card URL to the clipboard.
- Paste the link into any messaging app, email, or social media post.
