We have written many professional articles in recent years about the types and uses of NFC cards. However, we see that in most cases, people are not even familiar with the basics of a digital business card. Therefore, here is a summary in user-friendly language.
It is usually a plastic card with an NFC chip that, when touched to a smartphone, displays information.
It's a wireless communication option that allows devices to send data by touching. Its range is typically between 1-30 mm.
It works on the same principle as a bank card when making contactless payments at the cashier, but in this case, no transaction data is transmitted.
Almost every smartphone currently in the markt can read NFC digital business cards. However, it may happen that NFC is not enabled in the smartphone's settings, so you need to turn it on in the phone's menu, similar to Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.
Digital business cards typically don't store personal data. The data is in the cloud, as online content. The card serves as a contact tool, allowing the phone to load this information through its browser via a URL link. This could be read by Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera, etc.
The data is not automatically saved; the phone user needs to save the displayed contact information in their phone's contacts.
Usually, there is a QR code on the back of the card, so by scanning the QR code with the phone's camera, the data can be accessed in the same way.
Yes, the personal profile can be accessed via a URL link, allowing you to share it with partners through messages or even embed it in email signatures.
For the ClickMe Smart Card digital business card, there is no need to install any App for reading or editing the card. Everything is accessed through a website. For other manufacturers, it may be necessary to install a separate App for editing the card's data.
