Frequently Asked Questions
What is NFC and how does it work for business cards?
NFC (Near Field Communication) lets two devices exchange data when held a few centimeters apart. With NexaLink, you tap your phone near someone else's, and your digital card opens in their browser instantly. No app install, no pairing — just tap and share.
Do I need a physical NFC card or tag?
No. Your smartphone already has NFC built in. NexaLink uses your phone's NFC hardware directly, so there's nothing extra to buy. Your card stays up-to-date automatically, unlike a physical card that's frozen the moment it's printed.
Which phones support NFC sharing?
Most smartphones released since 2015 have NFC, including all iPhones from iPhone 7 onward and nearly all mid-range and flagship Android devices. If your phone supports contactless payments, it supports NFC sharing with NexaLink.
What's better: QR codes or NFC for sharing contacts?
NFC is faster — a single tap transfers your card. QR codes work at a distance and don't require physical proximity. NexaLink gives you both (plus direct links), so you pick whichever fits the situation.
Is NFC sharing included in the free plan?
NFC tap-to-share is a Pro feature ($4.99/month). The free plan includes QR code sharing and direct links, which work on every device. Upgrade to Pro to unlock NFC alongside analytics and unlimited cards.
