Once you approve the design, we should be able to ship our your card(s) in about a week (+/- depending on current backlog)
The challenge we have with NFC is part of the card must be plastic for the NFC to work. The metal blocks the NFC signal. We have a few different blanks, but we haven’t found one we really like. And with the plastic, it limits where we can laser engrave, to only 1 side of the card. Trying to fit a name, logo, and QR code that is big enough to be read can be tight. Long story short, we don’t have a ready-for-prime-time solution for NFC yet that we are happy with.
Also, some people disable NFC on their phones, for security reasons. Going thru the process where the NFC doesn’t read, you need to tap this and turn on that makes for an awkward interaction. Hence why we’ve focused on just QR codes for now– it is universal and just needs a camera.
The cards are $65/each. Volume discounting is available.
After the first year, there is a $5/card annual charge for support and the web hosting
