A vCard (Virtual Contact File) is a digital business card that stores contact information. When combined with NFC (Near Field Communication), you can share your vCard by tapping an NFC-enabled device to an NFC tag or card.

Seritag don't recommend storing vCard data directly onto the NFC as iPhones cannot read the data unless using an app. We recommend using our vcard-go system or creating a vCard file, uploading this somewhere on the internet and then encoding/programming this link to NFC tag. Alternatively, you can use such as such as Linktr.ee or Liinks for social media sharing.

The benefits of using a vCard are they instantly share contact details with a tap of a phone, you can have multiple links to social media in one location, they reduce the need for multiple paper cards and they reduce the risk of manual data entry errors.
