A MyInfo card opens the same way whichever method you use, so the question is not which is best but which fits the moment. In the UAE you may hand over your card at a stand, on a shop counter, in a WhatsApp chat and on a printed brochure in the same week. Here is how an NFC card, a QR sticker and a plain link compare, so you can use each where it works.
NFC card: the quickest in person
An NFC card holds your card's link on a small chip. A phone held near it reads the link and opens your card, with no app. NFC is ideal for one-to-one meetings and for a stand on a desk or counter. NFC sharing is included on the free plan, and cards and stands come through MyInfo partners. Read how an NFC business card works and program an NFC card.
QR sticker: the best for print and screens
A QR code needs no hardware and no phone support beyond a camera. Put it on a poster, a window, a receipt, a vehicle or a slide. It never expires, because it holds your card's address, not its contents. Keep it large enough and leave a margin; see print your QR code business card and where to put your QR code.
Plain link: the best for chats and email
When you are not face to face, a link is simplest. Paste it into WhatsApp, an email signature or a social bio. See how to share a digital business card on WhatsApp and share your card on LinkedIn, Instagram and email.
How to choose
- Meeting in person with a few people: NFC card, with the QR code as a backup.
- Many people at once or print: QR code on a stand, slide or flyer.
- Remote or after the event: the link.
- A phone cannot read NFC: show the QR code instead.
Most people end up using all three at once, since they open the same live card. For a deeper look at two of them, see NFC vs QR code business cards. If an NFC card stops working, try NFC card not working: troubleshooting. Ready to share yours? Create your card.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to pay for NFC or QR sharing?
No. Sharing by link, QR code and NFC is included on every card, including the free plan. You only pay for the physical NFC card or stand from a supplier.
What if I change my card after printing a QR sticker or writing an NFC card?
Nothing to redo. Both hold your card's address, not its content, so visitors always see your latest details.
