Where to scan your card
On the card
On the front of Wave Card, there is a wireless symbol. The NFC chip is located on the backside of the icon. The card is equipped with a QR code as a backup if the NFC transmission fails. The QR code is laser-etched, similar to the rest of the card.
On the phone
Smartphones' NFC sensor location will differ from model to model. They are commonly found on the upper back of the phone.

Directing your user
Once the Wave Card has been successfully scanned, they will be a screen depending on how you have customized your Infinity Card.
Using your LinkHub
Your LinkHub will have several links and an option RSS feed of the site of your choice (we recommend a personal or work blog). It is here that your user can visit your social media or website.
Downloading a vCard
Your vCard, also known as your Virtual Contact File (.VCF), it can contain:
- phone numbers
- e-mail addresses
- URLs
- logos
- photographs
- audio clips
It is downloadable to any smartphone and can instantly be added to their contact list.
Custom URL
Your Infinity Card can also point to any desired URL without our interface to slow you down. This is especially good if you have a company website with all your information already on it.
