How to Order Custom Printed PVC NFC Cards

Learning how to order custom printed PVC NFC cards allows you to elevate your in-person networking with a premium, tap-to-share physical product. Once ordered, these smart cards can be permanently linked to your digital profile, letting you instantly beam your contact details, booking links, and social media directly to a client's smartphone.

This guide details how to browse, customize, and order your physical NFC business cards directly through the platform.

Step 1: Access the Hardware Shop

While you manage your digital profiles within the main platform dashboard, physical hardware is purchased through a dedicated, secure storefront.

  1. Open the Add Card Menu: Navigate to your Business Cards page from the main menu and click the button to add a new card.
  2. Locate the NFC Section: In the window that appears, find the NFC Physical Card section at the top.
  3. Go to Shop: Click the Buy NFC Card button. This will redirect you to the official hardware store: https://www.banana.cards/shop/ in a new browser tab.

Step 2: Choose Your Card Material and Design

Once in the store, you can explore various premium hardware options designed for different branding needs.

Card Options

  • Standard & Custom PVC: Select from durable matte finishes, including Custom Black PVC and Custom White PVC.
  • Custom Printing: For custom-printed options, you'll be prompted during checkout to upload a high-resolution company logo and provide specific layout instructions. Our design team will ensure your branding is perfectly formatted before printing.
  • Retail Displays: If ordering for a storefront or physical location, browse retail-specific NFC products, such as stand-up displays.

Step 3: Checkout and Delivery

Complete your purchase securely through the shop's checkout process.

  • Enter your shipping details and select your preferred delivery speed.
  • Complete your payment.

You will receive an immediate order confirmation email. Tracking information will follow once your physical cards have been printed, encoded, and shipped.

Step 4: Activate Your Card Upon Arrival

When your physical card arrives, it functions as a blank slate and must be linked to your specific digital profile to work.

  1. Navigate back to the Add a New Card window in your dashboard.
  2. In the NFC Physical Card section, click Activate.
  3. Follow the on-screen prompts: either tap the card to the back of your smartphone or use your phone's camera to scan the QR code printed on the back of the card. This action binds the hardware to your account.
