Frequently Asked Questions
What is an NFC business card?
An NFC (Near Field Communication) business card contains a small chip that can wirelessly transmit your contact information to another device when they tap or bring their phone close to it. With NexaLink, you can achieve the same instant sharing using your smartphone's built-in NFC.
Do I need a physical NFC card?
No! Your smartphone already has NFC built-in. With NexaLink, you can share your digital business card by simply tapping phones together. This is more convenient, always up-to-date, and completely free.
How do I program an NFC tag with my NexaLink card?
Download any free NFC writing app (like NFC Tools), then write your NexaLink card URL to the tag. When someone taps their phone on the tag, your digital card will automatically open in their browser.
What's better: QR codes or NFC for sharing contacts?
Both work great! NFC is faster (just tap), while QR codes work with all smartphones and don't require physical contact. NexaLink gives you both options so you can use whichever is more convenient in the moment.
Does NexaLink sell physical NFC cards?
We focus on our digital platform which provides a superior experience. For physical NFC needs, we recommend using inexpensive NFC stickers or tags (available for $1-2 each) programmed with your NexaLink card URL.
