1 Choose how you want to use Card2Tap
You need a Card2Tap plan to build and publish your profile. A physical card is optional.
Digital only
Choose a plan and use your public profile, QR code, profile link, Apple Wallet and Google Wallet. Your dashboard opens as soon as your payment is confirmed.
Digital + an NFC product
Order an NFC card, sticker, name tag or desk stand. It’s linked to your account automatically when your order is paid, and it opens the same profile. No code to enter.
NFC products include the Standard Plan for 12 months (one period per order). After that, you renew when you choose.
Standard
Your profile, contact details, products & services, gallery, QR code, Wallet passes, contact exchange and basic analytics.
Professional
Everything in Standard, plus Link Finder, Appointment Requests, custom sections, more design options and advanced analytics.
Premium
Everything in Professional, plus Card2Tap AI.
Plans last 12 months and don’t renew automatically. We email you a reminder before yours ends. Compare plans

Your profile isn’t ready to share until it’s published. How do I publish my profile?
3 Publish when you’re ready
Check your profile with Preview or View draft, then go to Overview → Status → Publish profile.
- Name and company are right
- Phone and email open the right app
- Every link opens the right page
- Your photo or logo looks right

You need a name or company before you can publish. Once your profile is published, saved changes show straight away.

No app needed -
Your profile appears
Your current published profile
Your card stores a permanent tap link, not a copy of your details. When a phone reads it, Card2Tap opens the profile the card points to in the phone’s browser. That’s why the card always shows your latest published profile.
Cards & orders shows each card and the profile it opens.
Card2Tap links each card to your account when your order is paid. You can see your cards, and where each one points, in Cards & orders. If the profile isn’t published yet, a tap shows “This profile is not published yet”.
Update your profile without reprogramming your card
Edit your profile any time in My Card2Tap. When you save, your NFC card, QR code and profile link open the updated profile.
- Changed your web address? Your cards keep working, and your recent previous addresses redirect to the new one. Download your QR code again for anything you print next.
- Apple Wallet passes keep the details from when you added them; add yours again to refresh them. Google Wallet passes update by themselves.
Your printed card stays the same
Editing your profile changes your digital profile only. The artwork printed on your card doesn’t change.
What visitors can do
No app or account needed: your profile opens in the phone’s browser. Visitors see only what you add and switch on.
- Call
- Text
- Open your website
- Social links
- Get directions
- Save contact
- Exchange contact
- Products & services
- Gallery
- Leave a Google review
- Request an appointment
- Share your profile
Save contact
Downloads your contact card so the visitor can add you to their phone’s contacts.
Exchange contact
The visitor sends you their own name and email or phone, with their permission. You get an email, and they appear in Contacts in My Card2Tap.

Common first-time questions

Can I change my profile later?
Yes, any time in My Card2Tap. Once it’s published, saved changes show straight away.
Can I use Card2Tap without a physical card?
Yes. Share by QR code, your profile link, Apple Wallet or Google Wallet.
Does my printed card change when I edit my profile?
No. Your digital profile changes; the printed artwork doesn’t.
