Our intelligent digital business card utilizes NFC technology. It allows you to add social profiles, such as Instagram, Facebook, and website, by providing a valid username or link that meets the requirements. This makes it easy for others to access your social media accounts directly from the card. If you possess the necessary NFC tag, you can write your profile URL onto the tag. Otherwise, complete your profile and share a link via the app's sharing option. Users can easily exchange personal and social information with each other by scanning the NFC tag, QR code, or by sharing a profile link.
