How it works

Create. Share. Grow.

Three steps from sign-up to a card customers can act on. The tools available depend on your plan.

  1. Create

    Build a professional digital business card in minutes: your details, services, links and brand colours, with an industry template to start from on eligible plans.

  2. Share

    Send your card as a link, show a QR code, or tap an NFC card or sticker. It also works from social bios, email signatures and WhatsApp.

  3. Grow

    Customers save your contact, send an enquiry, book, browse what you offer and message you. Exactly what is available depends on your plan.

What it does for your business

Built around outcomes, not a checklist.

    Save, call, WhatsApp, enquire, book or order, depending on your plan.

  4. Scale

    Room to scale

    Add cards, features and team tools as your business grows.

The basics

01What is Nexsmart?

Nexsmart is a digital business card platform for South African professionals, sole traders and small businesses, by Nexbridge Technologies. Beyond sharing your contact details, your card can capture leads, take bookings, show your services and portfolio, collect reviews and, on Business, answer common questions with an AI receptionist.

02What is a digital business card?

A digital business card is a web page that holds your contact details and business information. People open it from a link, QR code or NFC tap and can save your details straight to their phone. Because it is a web page, you can update it at any time and it can do more than a paper card can.

03How does Nexsmart work?

You create an account, build your card and publish it. You then share the link, QR code or NFC tap. Visitors can save your contact and, depending on your plan, enquire, book, browse your offerings or chat. Your dashboard shows your leads, bookings and analytics.

04Is Nexsmart available to South African businesses?

Yes. Nexsmart is built by Nexbridge Technologies for South African businesses. Prices are in rand, and it supports WhatsApp-first customer contact and PayFast.

05Can I use Nexsmart for my industry?

Nexsmart has templates for salons, workshops and trades, restaurants, real estate, medical, legal, fitness, education and creative professionals, plus a general option. Regulated professions remain responsible for their own compliance and advertising rules.

Sharing & visibility

06Can customers save my contact details?

Yes. Your card includes a save-contact option so visitors can add your details to their phone with one tap.

07Can I share my card using a QR code?

Yes. Every card has a QR code you can download or show on screen, and print on flyers, vehicles, signage or packaging. The QR code opens your live card, so it never goes out of date.

08Does Nexsmart support NFC business cards?

Yes, on Pro, Business and Enterprise. You programme an NFC card or sticker with your card’s link, and anyone with a compatible phone can tap it to open your card. NFC sharing is not available on the Free plan.

09Can I see who visits my digital business card?

You can see how many people view your card on every plan. Paid plans add full analytics, including traffic sources and devices, and tap analytics with source context. We report visit patterns, not the identities of anonymous visitors.

Grow your business

10Can I collect leads through my card?

Yes. Visitors can leave their details, and you manage the leads in your dashboard. Paid plans add CSV export, AI lead scoring and CRM tools. Source attribution shows whether leads came from a QR scan, social link or elsewhere.

11Can I accept bookings?

Yes, on Pro, Business and Enterprise. You set up your services, using an industry template if you like, and customers can request a booking from your card. WhatsApp ordering and booking is also included on these plans.

12Can I showcase products, services and my portfolio?

Yes. Pro and above include service and product catalogues, reviews and marketplace features. The portfolio gallery (up to 20 images, with before-and-after presentation) is coming soon. On Free you get the essential card without these sections.

13Can customers order through WhatsApp?

Yes, on Pro, Business and Enterprise. Customers can choose from your menu or catalogue and send the order to you on WhatsApp.

14Does Nexsmart support online payments?

Customer payments through PayFast are available on eligible plans where the business has connected its own PayFast account and the feature is enabled on the platform. Where it is not enabled, orders can be settled directly with you, for example by cash.

15How does the AI receptionist work?

On Business and Enterprise you can switch on an AI receptionist for a card. It answers visitor questions using the information you have configured, such as hours, services, menu items and FAQs, and saves the conversations for you to review. It is an assistant, so keep your information current and review chats. It can make mistakes and should not be relied on for advice.

Plans & account

16Can I create a digital business card for free?

Yes. The Free plan includes one SmartCard, basic analytics and the essential digital card functionality. New accounts are verified by email and then approved by our team before they are activated, so activation is not instant.

17Is there a free trial?

Yes. Once our team approves your account, you get a free 14-day Pro trial, with no card needed and one trial per person. When it ends, your account moves to the Free plan: your extra cards are set to draft and NFC is switched off, and nothing is deleted. Upgrade at any time to keep Pro features.

18What is the difference between Free, Pro, Business and Enterprise?

Free gives you 1 card with basic analytics. Pro raises the limit to 2 cards and adds full analytics, NFC, WhatsApp ordering and booking, online bookings, industry templates, portfolio, marketplace, reviews, CSV lead export, AI lead scoring and CRM, open-now status, wallet pass and tap analytics. Business raises the limit to 10 cards and adds the Google review nudge and the AI receptionist. Enterprise adds unlimited cards, custom domain, team accounts and white labelling.

19Can I manage multiple business cards?

Yes. Free includes 1 card, Pro up to 2, Business up to 10 and Enterprise is unlimited. This suits owners with several brands and teams who each need a card.

20Can I use my own domain?

Custom domains are included on Enterprise. Contact our team to discuss your requirements.

21How do I upgrade or contact the team?

Once your account is active, you can request an upgrade from Settings in your dashboard. For Enterprise or any other question, use the contact form on this page, call 087 265 8841 or email support@nexbridge.co.za.
