Frequently Asked Questions

What is NFC and how does it work for business cards?

NFC stands for Near Field Communication. It allows two devices to exchange data when they are held close together, typically within 4 centimeters. For digital business cards, you tap your NFC-enabled phone or card against another phone, and your contact information transfers instantly. No app installation is required on the receiving end.

Which phones support NFC for restaurants & hospitality?

Most modern smartphones support NFC. iPhones from iPhone 7 onward support NFC reading, and iPhone XS and later support background NFC tag reading. Most Android phones from 2015 onward include NFC. This checker tests your specific device to confirm compatibility.

What if my phone does not support NFC?

If your device lacks NFC, you can still share digital business cards effectively using QR codes, direct links, or text messages. NexaLink provides all these sharing methods so you always have a backup regardless of your phone's capabilities.

Do NFC business cards work with phone cases?

Most standard phone cases do not interfere with NFC signals. However, very thick cases, metal cases, or cases with built-in card holders containing credit cards may reduce NFC range. For reliable performance, test the tap through your case before relying on it at important events.
