iCards Metal card

An NFC (Near Field Communication) card is a digital business card embedded with an NFC chip that allows for the contactless transfer of your contact details to another smartphone. This modern technology eliminates the need for traditional paper business cards. 

The NFC card works by utilizing an embedded NFC chip. When you tap the card against an NFC-enabled smartphone, the phone reads the chip and instantly displays the contact information on the phone’s screen. This provides a quick and seamless way to share your details.

Yes, you can personalize your iCards NFC card. iCards by Cogify offers a customized card design, allowing you to upload your company logo, choose your preferred colors, and more. Our team will work with you to ensure your design is perfect before printing and shipment. 

You can easily edit and update your contact details at any time using your iCards admin portal.

Most modern smartphones, both Android and iOS, have built-in NFC functionality and are compatible with NFC Business Cards from iCards. For phones without NFC, you can use the QR code on the card to access the contact information.

iCards NFC cards are available in three materials: recycled PVC, wood, and metal. Each material offers a unique look and feel, catering to different preferences and sustainability considerations.

The cost of an iCards NFC card depends on several factors, including your choice of material, personalization options, and order volume. We offer discounts for bulk orders, making it cost-effective for company-wide distribution. When deciding, consider the level of customization you need and the quantity required for your business.

iCards is a Swiss‑hosted contact‑sharing and sales enablement platform. It combines smart NFC/QR business cards with digital profiles, CRM integrations, analytics and a built‑in sales pipeline. Every tap generates a new contact and can initiate an automated sales journey.

Traditional digital cards only share your contact details. iCards goes further by capturing leads, integrating with CRMs like Salesforce or HubSpot, providing analytics, and helping teams move contacts through a structured sales pipeline. It’s both a networking tool and a sales platform.

No. Recipients simply tap your NFC card or scan your QR code. Your digital profile opens in their browser and they can save your details or connect immediately.

At the moment, yes. Purchasing an iCards physical card enables your digital profile and basic platform features without extra fees. The digital profile remains free for card owners, and the NFC card provides the tap‑to‑share experience. Advanced sales‑pipeline features will soon be offered on a subscription basis, but owning a card will continue to include the core profile.

No. iCards is primarily aimed at teams and businesses that need a branded, sales‑enablement solution. While individual professionals can still use an iCards digital card, the platform’s core value comes from allowing companies to roll out NFC cards bearing their logo, manage employee profiles centrally and capture leads across the organisation. iCards supports B2B use cases such as trade shows, sales teams and corporate networking, making it ideal for organisations looking to modernise their contact management and sales processes.

The Sales Pipeline is a built‑in tool that turns each new contact into an opportunity. You can move leads through custom stages, add notes and deal values, and track progress with real‑time analytics. It helps teams stay organized and follow up consistently.

Yes. Companies can choose card materials, add logos and colors, and white‑label the digital interface to match their brand.

When someone taps your card or scans your QR code, they can save your details and optionally share their info back. Those contacts are stored in your iCards dashboard, where you can qualify them and add them to the pipeline. Analytics show card views, saves and conversions.

Yes. iCards supports wallet integration for quick access to your digital profile.

Today, no. Purchasing an iCards card includes access to the digital profile and basic platform features at no additional cost. A subscription for the Sales Pipeline and advanced analytics might be introduced in the future; when that happens, card owners will still enjoy free access to their digital profile and contact‑sharing tools.
