NFC BUSINESS CARD
Your CardGoGo profile is the live digital business card. Write its stable sharing URL to a compatible writable NFC card or tag using an external NFC-writing method, then let people open the same profile by tapping NFC, scanning its QR code or following a normal link.
Use a compatible NFC card or tag - No app required for recipients - QR sharing also available

An NFC business card combines a physical card or tag with an online profile. When someone taps the compatible chip with a supported phone, it opens a web destination. With CardGoGo, that destination leads to your published digital business card, where a recipient can view the details and actions you have chosen to share.

Same supported destination where configured
The physical product contains a compatible NFC chip. Using an external NFC-writing workflow, you write the stable CardGoGo sharing URL to that chip. CardGoGo provides the digital profile and destination but does not program the hardware.
The browser-based profile is the digital business card. It can show your latest published details and supported actions, whether a visitor arrives by NFC, QR code or a normal link.
Add your professional details, preview the profile and publish it when ready.
Use the link intended for physical QR or NFC sharing according to the existing platform workflow.
Use a supported phone workflow or a reputable NFC-writing application.
Tap the card using more than one compatible phone and confirm that it opens the intended profile.
CardGoGo uses the same supported destination for physical NFC and QR sharing. The destination resolves to the selected published profile, so its public address can change without requiring a new printed QR code or a rewritten NFC tag.

When your phone number, role, company or website changes, update your CardGoGo profile rather than rewriting every contact field onto the NFC chip. Continued use of the physical card depends on keeping the supported CardGoGo destination connected correctly.
Write the intended supported CardGoGo link, tap and test the card before making the NFC tag read-only, test more than one compatible phone where practical, confirm the correct published profile opens and test important card actions. A permanently locked NFC tag generally cannot be rewritten.
NFC behaviour can vary by phone model, operating system, NFC chip type, phone settings and physical placement.

CardGoGo provides the digital profile and NFC setup guidance. Physical NFC cards or tags can be obtained separately from a compatible supplier. Follow the CardGoGo NFC Help guide to select a published card, copy its stable sharing link, write the complete HTTPS URL using an external NFC-writing method and test the result before locking the tag.
A compatible phone reads the NFC link or QR code and offers to open the destination in a web browser. The recipient does not need the CardGoGo app and does not need a CardGoGo account to view a published profile.
NFC reading depends on compatible hardware and settings. QR scanning depends on a working camera workflow and a clear code.
The same published CardGoGo card loads from the stable destination, whichever physical sharing method was used.
Available actions depend on what the card owner has published, such as viewing details, saving a contact, calling, emailing or opening a link.
Use a personal CardGoGo profile for networking and freelance work, write its stable sharing URL to a compatible writable NFC card using an external method and keep QR code sharing available as a fallback.

Compatible NFC cards written and tested
An NFC business card is a physical card or tag with a compatible NFC chip that can open a digital destination, such as a published CardGoGo profile, when tapped with a supported phone.
With CardGoGo, the NFC chip stores the supported web destination, not a fixed copy of all your contact details. That destination opens your live digital business card, where your published name, role, contact methods and other selected information can appear.
No. A recipient using a compatible phone can open the web link from the NFC card in their browser. They do not need to install a CardGoGo app or create an account to view a published card.
Yes. You can use a compatible writable NFC card or tag that can store a website URL. CardGoGo provides the digital profile, stable sharing destination and setup guidance; obtain the physical NFC product separately and test it before use.
Yes. Keep the supported CardGoGo destination written to the NFC card, then update and publish your live profile. Future taps show the latest published details without storing each contact field on the NFC chip.
A typical passive writable NFC card or tag does not contain its own battery. A compatible phone provides the short-range field used to read it. Check the specifications of the particular NFC product you choose.
Many NFC-capable iPhone and Android devices can read compatible NFC tags, but behaviour varies by model, operating system, NFC settings, chip type and tag placement. Test the finished card with the devices your recipients are likely to use, and keep a QR code available as another route.
NFC offers a quick tap, while QR gives recipients a visible camera-scannable option. Using both with the same stable CardGoGo destination gives people two ways to reach the same live digital business card when device capabilities or preferences differ.
Build your professional profile, publish it when ready and connect it to a compatible writable NFC card or tag for tap-to-share contact details.
