A premium matte PVC card with a chip inside. One tap opens your profile: contact details, services with prices, catalogue, UPI payment link, gallery and booking form. Nobody has to install anything.
Two finishes, printed with your details
Matte black or pearl white, in premium PVC. Your name, designation and business name on the front; a QR code on the back for phones without NFC.
Matte Black
Matte finish, printed with your name, designation and QR.
Pearl White
Lighter finish, darker print. Reads well against a dark suit.
NFC business card design: what goes on the front and back
Front
Your name, designation and business name, plus your logo, printed free on every plan.
Back
The QR code. It carries the same link as the chip, so a scan and a tap open the same profile.
On the profile, not the card
Numbers, prices, offers and addresses. They change, and on the profile you change them without reprinting.
Pick the finish that suits your logo: black for light or metallic logos, white for dark ones. For the profile itself, see what to put on a digital visiting card.
₹1,699 for the card, once
The card is a one-time purchase. The profile it opens is a hosted service, so it carries a yearly fee - and that is where the catalogue, bookings and UPI payments live.
Printed matte PVC with your name, designation, QR and your logo, free. Free delivery across India; it usually arrives in 7-10 days.
Contacts, services and products with prices, enquiry form, appointment booking, gallery and Maps.
Everything in Basic, plus direct UPI payments, a Google review button, analytics and your branding.

How the tap actually works
No pairing, no Bluetooth, no signal to lose - just four things that happen in well under a second.
Phone powers the chip
Your phone's NFC antenna sends out a small radio field. Holding it near the card powers the chip inside - no battery needed on the card's side.
Chip sends data
The powered chip transmits a short web address stored in its memory - just enough data for a URL, nothing more.
Profile opens on the phone
The operating system recognises the NFC tag and opens that link directly in the phone's normal browser - no app switch, no install prompt.
Save it or take action
They can save your contact straight to their phone, or act right away - call, email, WhatsApp, view products, or book an appointment.
Paper card vs Other NFC card vs Beeps Card
Most NFC cards share your contact details. The difference with Beeps is what opens after the tap.

What is an NFC business card and how does it work?
An NFC business card, also called a smart business card, is a physical card with a Near Field Communication chip inside it. Hold a smartphone near the card and the chip hands over a web link. The phone opens that link in its normal browser - your digital visiting card. Nothing is installed, and nothing is typed.
The chip has no battery. It draws what little power it needs from the phone reading it, so it keeps working for years and never needs charging. The card only stores a link, so you can change everything that link points to - your number, your title, your whole company - without reprinting a thing.
New to the whole idea? Read the full story - definition, technology, costs, how to choose - in the complete NFC business card guide, or see what actually makes a smart business card smart if the word "smart" on a product page has stopped meaning much to you.
Every Beeps Card also has a QR code printed on it. If someone's phone does not support NFC, or has it switched off, they can open the exact same profile with their camera.
What the card does in your line of work
The card is the same. What sits behind the tap is not. A clinic sets up the booking calendar; a contractor sets up the enquiry form; a shop sets up the catalogue and UPI.
Questions before you order
Do NFC business cards work on both iPhone and Android in India?
Yes. NFC reading works on iPhone XS and later without any setup, and on most Android phones sold in recent years that have NFC hardware. If a phone cannot read NFC, the QR code printed on every Beeps Card opens the same profile using the phone camera.
Does the person receiving my card need an app?
No. Your profile opens in the phone's normal web browser. The person receiving your card does not need to install anything, create an account, or sign up.
How long does delivery take across India?
A card usually arrives 7-10 days after you pay, couriered free anywhere in India. It is printed to order with your details. The profile works from the day you sign up, with its QR code, so you can share it before the card arrives.
Can I order NFC business cards in bulk for my team?
Yes. Enterprise covers 20 profiles for ₹5,000, 40 profiles for ₹7,000, 50 profiles for ₹10,000 a year, with each team member getting their own card and profile. For more than 50 profiles, contact us for a quote.
What happens if I lose my NFC card?
Your digital profile is separate from the physical card, so nothing is lost. Order a replacement: it is printed with the same QR and carries the same link, so it opens your profile and every link you have shared keeps working.
Will the NFC chip stop working over time?
The chip has no battery and no moving parts - it draws the tiny amount of power it needs from the phone that taps it, so there is nothing to charge, run down or replace. Your profile stays live as long as your subscription is active.
Can I print my logo on the NFC card?
Yes, free, on every plan. The front carries your logo, your name, your designation and your business name, and the back carries the QR code that opens the same profile as the tap. Choose black or white to suit your logo colours.
What should I print on an NFC business card?
Only what will not change: your name, designation, business name and logo. Phone numbers, prices, offers and addresses belong on the profile the card opens, where you can update them without reprinting. That is what keeps a card in someone's wallet correct for years.
Can I change what my NFC card opens?
Yes, any time. The chip only stores a link, never your actual data, so you edit your profile and every tap shows the new version. The link itself is permanent, because the QR printed on the card carries it too - and the card can be moved to a different profile that uses the same link. That is what keeps every card you have handed out working.
Does the card still work through a phone case or inside a wallet?
In almost all cases, yes. NFC reads through most plastic, leather and thin phone cases. Thick cases, metal-backed cases and metal card holders can block the signal. If a tap does not register, take the card out of the metal sleeve and hold it against the back of the phone.
