One of the most common questions we get is:
“Do I really need a QR code on my V1CE NFC card?”
The short answer: No, but it’s a smart backup to have.
Let’s break it down so you can decide whether to go QR or not.
Your V1CE card is built for NFC tap-to-share. Just tap it on someone’s phone, and—boom—your Smart Link opens instantly.
But what if their phone is ancient (think 2010 flip phone vibes 🕰️)?
Or what if they haven’t enabled NFC (yes, some people still don’t know it exists)?
That’s where the QR code comes in.
💡 The QR code is simply a backup option—it does the same thing as NFC but by scanning instead of tapping.
✅ Older Phones – Some pre-2015 Androids & iPhone 6 or older don’t have NFC. A QR code ensures they can still access your details.
✅ NFC Turned Off – Some people *(cough Android users) turn off NFC to save battery. If that happens, QR is your backup.
✅ Virtual Meetings – If someone can’t tap your card in person, you can snap a pic of the QR code and send it to them.
✅ People Who Prefer Scanning – Some people just love scanning QR codes—maybe it makes them feel techy. Who are we to judge?
💡 If you’re networking in places where people might have older devices (conferences, trade shows, business meetings), having a QR code is a no-brainer.
If you only meet people with modern smartphones and you’re confident everyone will use NFC, you can skip the QR code—your card will still work just fine.
However, if you want 100% sharing success, adding a QR code is a smart fail-safe. It’s included for free, so why not?
💡 Remember: You can order your V1CE card with or without a QR code—it’s totally up to you!
