Does every phone support NFC?
Most newer phones support NFC. In cases where NFC is off or unavailable, the Linx card also includes a QR code as a simple scanning backup.

What Is an NFC Business Card? The Complete Guide for a Smart Business
An NFC business card is a physical card with a wireless chip that opens a business mini-site on a tap, no app required, with a built-in CRM, analytics and a follow-up engine.
So what exactly is an NFC business card?
An NFC business card is a physical card with a tiny wireless chip inside. When a supported phone comes close, it detects the chip and opens a predefined link. With Linx, that link leads to a professional mini-site: contact details, WhatsApp, social networks, a portfolio, a lead form, offers, files, payments and more. The card needs no battery, charging or day-to-day maintenance. The customer does not need to install an app. You can add a QR code as a backup for older devices or for scanning from a distance.
Why is it better than a paper card?
A paper card creates a moment of impression, but almost no continuity. It does not update, does not measure interest, does not help you understand who was genuinely interested, and does not connect the next conversation. A Linx card keeps the human gesture of handing over a card, but adds a layer of action: opening a page, saving a contact, sending a message, filling out a form and measuring it all. The business difference: The card is not just supposed to "look good". It is supposed to turn a meeting into an opportunity you can manage, measure and nurture.
What does the customer see after the tap?
The right experience should be short and clear: who you are, what you offer, why it is worth talking to you now, and what the next action is. Instead of sending a customer to look for you on Google or Instagram, Linx shows them a focused page that brings together every way to move forward. Action buttons: call, WhatsApp, save contact or book a meeting. Showcase services, photos, videos, documents and testimonials. Forms that send the inquiry straight into your lead system.
How does Linx connect the card to a business system?
The card is only the entry point. Behind it sits a system that manages mini-sites, leads, analytics, pixels, campaigns and content. That way you can know which meetings generated interest, which link got the most clicks and when it is time to follow up.
Who is it especially right for?
An NFC card fits anyone who builds trust through meetings: lawyers, real estate agents, consultants, coaches, private physicians, salespeople, shop owners, service providers, speakers, founders and corporate teams. The more valuable the meeting, the more important it is that its follow-up does not get lost.
How to start the right way?
The common mistake is to think only about the card design. In practice, it is better to start from the business action you want: a call, a lead, a booked meeting, a signup, a payment or a view of your offer. Once you define the action, you build your Linx page so that all the content leads to it. Choose one primary action, not ten competing ones. Write an opening line that makes the value clear within 3 seconds. Check in the analytics which meetings and content actually work.

Frequently asked questions
Do you need an app to open the card?
No. Tapping the card opens a link in the phone's browser, so the experience stays fast even for customers who have never heard of Linx.
What happens if I change my phone, role or number?
You update the details in the dashboard. The physical card stays the same card, and the page it opens shows the new information.
