How long does it take to set up an NFC business card?
The digital profile setup takes 5–15 minutes: fill in your name, title, contact info, upload a photo, and add links. The physical card delivery takes 3–10 business days for standard shipping. You can complete the profile while waiting for the card to arrive.
Profile setup timeline
Account creation: 2 minutes. Basic profile (name, title, contact info): 3–5 minutes. Adding social links: 2–3 minutes. Upload and crop headshot: 2 minutes. Set up lead capture form: 3–5 minutes. Review and publish: 1 minute. Total: 10–15 minutes for a complete profile, 5 minutes for a basic one. You don't need to do everything at once — publish a basic profile and add to it over time.
Physical card delivery
Most NFC card providers ship within 1–3 business days of order placement. Standard shipping takes 3–7 business days domestically. Expedited shipping options typically deliver in 1–3 business days. International shipping varies. Order the card before you need it — for a conference or event, order at least 2 weeks in advance.
Can I use the digital profile before the card arrives?
Yes — your profile URL is active as soon as you publish it. Share it via link or QR code while waiting for the physical card.
Is there anything complex about the setup process?
The hardest part for most people is writing a concise bio and deciding which links to include. The technical setup itself is very simple.
Can someone else set up my NFC card profile for me?
Yes — you can share your login with an assistant or marketing manager to build or update the profile on your behalf.
