Before You Start

  • NexaLink app installed
  • Digital business card created

Step-by-Step Guide

1

Review Your Visible Information

Audit every field on your card and decide which details should be public and which should be hidden or only shared with verified contacts.

Tip: Consider hiding your personal phone number and showing only your business email on the public card
2

Enable Access Controls

Turn on NexaLink access controls so viewers must share their own contact info before seeing your full card details.

Tip: This two-way exchange ensures you capture leads while protecting your information
3

Set Up Two-Factor Authentication

Enable two-factor authentication on your NexaLink account to prevent unauthorized access to your card editor.

Tip: Use an authenticator app instead of SMS for stronger security
4

Monitor Card View Activity

Regularly check your NexaLink analytics to spot any unusual viewing patterns or unexpected access.

Tip: Sudden spikes in views from an unfamiliar region may indicate your link was shared without your knowledge
5

Rotate Your Card Link if Compromised

If you suspect your card link has been distributed inappropriately, generate a new URL in NexaLink settings.

Tip: After rotating the link, update it in your email signature, LinkedIn, and website

Frequently Asked Questions

Do recipients need the NexaLink app?

No. When someone scans your QR code, taps your NFC, or clicks your link, your card opens as a mobile-optimized webpage in their browser. They can save your contact directly — no download required.

Can I update my card after sharing it?

Yes. Change your job title, phone number, or company and every person who received your card sees the update instantly. No reprints, no re-sharing — one card, always current.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The free plan includes 1 digital card, basic templates, QR code sharing, and 10 card scans per month — with no time limit or credit card required. Upgrade to Pro ($5.99/month) for unlimited cards and NFC sharing.

How is this different from a paper business card?

Paper cards can't be updated, don't track engagement, and get lost in pockets. A digital card stays current, shows you who viewed it, and lets recipients save your contact in one tap.

What sharing methods are available?

Five options: QR code (they scan it), NFC tap (phone-to-phone, Pro feature), direct link (text or email), Apple Wallet, and Google Wallet. Pick whichever fits the moment.
