Why This Matters

Share Instantly, Three Ways

QR code for events, NFC tap for one-on-ones, and a direct link for email and text. Recipients see your card in their browser — no app download required.

Always Up-to-Date

Change your job title, phone number, or company and every recipient sees the update instantly. No reprints, no re-sharing — one card that stays current.

Track Who Engaged

See how many people viewed your card, when they opened it, and which links they clicked. Use that data to prioritize follow-ups.

Professional First Impression

Choose from 8+ templates designed for professionals. Add your photo, logo, brand colors, and social links for a card that matches your identity.

Works on Every Device

Your card opens as a mobile-optimized webpage on any smartphone, tablet, or desktop. Add it to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet for one-tap access.

Free Forever Plan

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.
