Getting started
What is Kardania?
Kardania is an all-in-one networking platform. Share an NFC digital business card, capture every lead, run campaigns, automate the follow-up, and manage every relationship in a built-in CRM, for individuals and teams.
Does the person I share with need an app?
No. When you tap your card to their phone or they scan your QR code, your profile opens right in their normal phone browser. They do not need to install anything.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. Individuals can create a digital profile with Kardania Connect for free, and upgrade to Premium for more. Teams use Kardania Loop, which has paid plans built for organizations.
How do I get started?
Individuals can download the Kardania Connect app and create a profile in minutes. Teams can request a demo of Loop and we'll set everything up with you.
NFC & devices
What is NFC?
NFC (Near Field Communication) is the same tap technology used for contactless payments. With a Kardania NFC card, you simply hold the card near someone's phone and your profile opens instantly, with no app needed for them.
Which smartphones support NFC?
Most smartphones from the last several years support NFC. On iPhone, models from iPhone XS and XR (2018) and newer open an NFC card automatically just by holding it near the top of the phone. iPhone 7 through iPhone X also have NFC but may need a quick tap from the built-in NFC reader in Control Center. On Android, the large majority of phones from the last five years include NFC, which you can confirm under Settings, Connections, NFC. If a phone has no NFC or it's switched off, your Kardania QR code works on any phone with a camera.
Do I need a special phone to share my card?
No. You can share two ways: tap your NFC card to a phone, or let anyone scan your QR code. The QR code works on any phone with a camera, so you're always covered.
What if someone's phone doesn't have NFC?
Just show your Kardania QR code instead. They scan it with their camera and your profile opens right away, no NFC required.
Do I need to install an app to use my NFC card?
You set up and update your profile in the Kardania app, but the card itself works on its own. Once your profile is ready, the card simply opens it on any phone you tap or scan.
Connect (for individuals)
What's the difference between Free and Premium?
Free gives you a complete digital card with NFC and QR sharing, core connectors, and Apple and Google Wallet. Premium adds multiple profiles, premium connectors and custom CTAs, profile media like galleries, PDFs and video, a custom QR and Wallet designer, and a connect-back form to capture contacts.
Can I have more than one profile?
Yes. With Premium you can keep separate profiles for different audiences, for example one for work and one for a side project, and switch between them in a tap.
Can I update my details after I get the card?
Yes, anytime. Your card always points to your live profile, so any change you make shows up instantly. The card never goes out of date.
Can I add my card to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet?
Yes. You can add your Kardania card to the wallet your contacts already carry, so it's always one swipe away.
Loop (for teams)
What is Kardania Loop?
Loop is the platform for teams. Alongside branded digital cards for everyone, it includes a built-in CRM (Pulse), lead-capture forms, marketing campaigns, no-code automation (Flow), and team chat, all in one place.
Can I manage my whole team's cards?
Yes. Loop gives you central control over every team member's profile, with consistent branding, roles, and the ability to add or update people from one admin.
Does Loop work with our existing tools?
Yes. Loop offers connectors for popular CRMs such as Zoho, Salesforce, and HubSpot, and supports Microsoft Entra single sign-on for enterprise teams.
