Frequently Asked Questions

General

What is NFCHub?

NFCHub is smart card infrastructure for NFC and QR Google Review cards. Suppliers manufacture cards in bulk, resellers activate them for local businesses, and customers tap or scan the card to reach the business's Google Review page.

What is an NFC card?

NFC (Near Field Communication) is a short-range wireless technology. Tapping an NFC card against a compatible phone opens a link automatically, without needing a camera or an app.

What is a QR code?

A QR code is a scannable square barcode. Pointing a phone camera at it opens a link — most modern phones support this natively.

What is a dynamic QR?

A regular QR code is permanently tied to whatever link was encoded into it. A dynamic QR, like the one NFCHub prints on every card, points to a NFCHub-controlled URL that can be repointed to a new destination at any time — without changing the printed code.

Do customers need NFC?

No. Every NFCHub card carries both NFC and a printed QR code, so a customer can tap or scan depending on what their phone supports.

What happens if NFC isn't supported?

The printed QR code works the same way on any phone with a camera — it's a reliable fallback for older or NFC-restricted devices.

Resellers

How do I become a reseller?

Your supplier creates a reseller account for you and assigns you cards. Once you're logged in, you can activate cards for local businesses right away.

How do I activate a card?

Enter the card code, the business name, and the business's Google Review link in the Activate Card screen. It takes about 30–60 seconds.

How long does activation take?

Typically under a minute — it's a three-field form designed to be filled out on your phone while you're in front of the business owner.

Can I change the destination?

Yes, if your supplier has enabled destination editing for your account. The printed QR and programmed NFC keep working after the change — nothing needs to be reprinted.

Do I need technical knowledge?

No. Activating, editing, and testing a card are all simple forms. Programming NFC uses a free third-party NFC writing app on your phone — no coding required.

How do I program NFC?

Copy the card's NFC link from its details page, open a compatible NFC writing app on your phone, and write the link to the card's chip. See our Reseller Guide for a full walkthrough.

How do I test a card?

Use the Test Card screen to see the QR code, the current destination, and the card's status before you hand it to a business — scan it yourself first to confirm everything works.

How should I price cards?

That's entirely up to you — NFCHub doesn't set reseller pricing. Many resellers price based on their card cost, packaging, and the value of ongoing support they offer the business.

Suppliers

Can I manufacture cards in bulk?

Yes — create a batch for any quantity and NFCHub generates a unique card code and dynamic QR URL for each card immediately, ready to send to print.

Do I need the customer's Google link before manufacturing?

No — that's the entire point. Cards are generic and print-ready the moment they're generated. The Google Review link is only added later, when a reseller activates a card for a specific business.

How do I assign cards?

From your Resellers page, select a card code range and a reseller, and assign them in one action.

Can I download QR files?

Yes — individual QR images (PNG/SVG), a ZIP of an entire batch, and a print-ready PDF sheet are all available from your Cards page.

Can I export card data?

Yes — a CSV export with each card's code, QR URL, and NFC URL is available per batch.

Google Reviews

Does NFCHub guarantee 5-star reviews?

No. NFCHub makes it easier for customers to access a business's Google Review page — it does not guarantee any rating, review volume, or outcome.

Can businesses ask customers for reviews?

Businesses can invite customers to share honest feedback. We recommend asking all customers consistently, rather than selectively targeting only satisfied ones.

Can customers add photos to reviews?

Yes, through Google's own review interface, if they choose to.

Can NFCHub upload photos to Google?

No. NFCHub never uploads reviews, ratings, or photos on a business's behalf. Customers always use Google's own review interface directly.
