The NFC guide

Your card. One tap away.

Write your published digital card link to a compatible NFC tag or card. The hardware shares your link; your workspace keeps the details current.

Publish the card first

Check your phone preview, contact details and “Save contact” button before writing a tag.

Use the right link

Write the permanent card link, so the tag stays useful when your contact details change.

Bring compatible hardware

NFC cards and tags are bought separately. Use a phone and a writer app compatible with the tag.

Test the tap

Try the tag with different phones, unlocked, near their NFC reader area.

Keep a QR fallback

People with NFC switched off or unsupported can still scan your QR or open the link.

Avoid irreversible locks early

Test the destination before making a tag read-only. The in-app NFC guide walks you through writing it.

From idea to connection

  1. 1 Publish your digital card.
  2. 2 Copy its permanent link.
  3. 3 Write the link to a compatible NFC tag.
  4. 4 Test a tap and a QR scan.

Quick answer

An NFC business card usually stores a link that a compatible phone opens. Point that link at a published digital card, then update the page when your details change. The tag and a QR fallback can share the same destination; test the hardware and the writing steps yourself.

Understand what the tag stores

For link-based sharing, the tag carries a URL rather than the whole page. That is why changing the card keeps a tag useful. If you write fixed contact data to the tag instead, updating it works differently.

Use the published link. A private editor URL or an account-only preview sends visitors to a login screen, even if the tag itself reads perfectly.

Check the phone and the finished hardware

NFC reader positions vary by phone. Try the tag with the phone unlocked and follow the hardware’s instructions. A protective case or the material around the tag can also affect a tap.

Keep the QR and a short, visible link as alternatives. Not every visitor has NFC switched on or knows where to tap. Sharing your contact should never depend on a single interaction.

Make changes and ownership easy to maintain

Use a card you can update from the right account. If a team member leaves, decide whether their card stays available, is redirected or is replaced, following your own process.

Test the link before locking a tag as read-only. A hardware lock prevents future changes to the stored URL, although the page behind a well-chosen permanent link stays editable.

Questions, answered

Does updating my contact page rewrite the NFC tag?

No. The tag still opens its stored link. Updating the page behind that link changes what visitors see.

Can I tap any phone with any card?

No. The phone, the tag, the reader position and the materials around it all need to be compatible. Test the actual hardware.

Why keep a QR fallback?

A QR or plain link helps people who can’t use NFC or prefer another way of sharing.
