How NFC Cards Work: The Complete Beginner's Guide
One tap and your contact is saved. We explain the technology behind NFC cards and how to set yours up in under 5 minutes.
NFC stands for Near Field Communication. It's the same technology behind Apple Pay and Google Pay — short-range wireless communication that works when two devices are within a few centimetres of each other.
When you tap an NFC business card to someone's phone, a tiny chip inside the card sends your DVC profile URL directly to their phone browser. No app download needed. No Bluetooth. No Wi-Fi.
How to set up your DVC NFC card:
1. Order a DVC NFC card from your dashboard
2. We programme it with your unique card URL before shipping
3. When it arrives, tap it on your phone to test
4. Hand your card to anyone — they tap, your profile opens instantly
Compatibility: NFC works on all iPhones (XR and later) and virtually all Android phones made after 2015.
Your NFC card link automatically follows updates to your digital profile. So when you change jobs, your NFC card is updated too — no reprinting.
