FAQs

Here, we’ve compiled essential information and troubleshooting tips for QuickLinkCards. Whether you’re a new user or need a quick refresher, this guide is here to help you make the most of your QuickLinkCards.

How do I use QuickLinkCards?

QuickLinkCards are designed for effortless interaction with NFC-enabled smartphones. To activate, simply tap your smartphone against the card. The NFC chip operates within 2 inches of your device. Depending on your phone model, you might need to adjust the position slightly:

iPhones: Scan from the top center, near the front-facing camera.
Androids: Scan from the center backside.
Other phones: Check that you have NFC enabled device.
For optimal performance, ensure your phone’s screen is awake and on the lock screen.

What if my QuickLinkCard isn’t scanning?
  1. Airplane Mode: First, make sure your phone isn’t in airplane mode.
  2. NFC Activation: Your NFC chip should activate when you wake your phone. Remember, the screen must be on for the scan to work, though it doesn’t need to be unlocked. Specifics to note:
    • iPhones have NFC always on when the screen is active, starting with the iPhone XR (2018).
    • Android users might need to enable NFC in their settings.
  3. Phone Compatibility: Check your phone’s compatibility. NFC reading without a specific app has been possible on phones since 2018. Newer models should automatically include this feature.

Device-Specific Tips

iPhone Users:

  • The NFC reader is located at the top center. It works whether you scan from the front or back.
  • Ensure your phone is unlocked for scanning, as the always-on display might be misleading.

Android Users:

  • Most Android phones scan from the center backside.
  • NFC can be toggled on/off in your settings. Make sure it’s turned on and your phone is unlocked for scanning.
