Nine times out of ten it's the phone or the case, not the card. Try these in order.
1
Take your case off and try again. On iPhone, hold the top edge of your phone to the card. On Android, make sure NFC is turned on in Settings. Hold still for 2–3 seconds.
2
Still nothing? Install the free app NFC Tools, scan your card with it, and open the link it shows — that link activates your card the same way. It looks like zykocard.com/z/…

Nothing works? That's rare — reach out and we'll fix it fast.
Email hello@zykocard.com with your order number and we'll get you activated or send a replacement.
Setup takes under two minutes and only happens once.
1
Tap the card to the back of your phone. A setup page opens on its own. Tap Get Started. No tap? See “Trouble tapping?” above.
2
Create your account. Sign up with your email and a password, or continue with Google.
3
Make it yours. Add your name and details, then pick your link — zykocard.com/yourname. Tap Activate and you're live.

Everything is editable, forever — free.

Cards you've already handed out update themselves.
Your card points to your profile — not a printed snapshot. Change something once and every card you've ever given out shows the new version, instantly. No reprinting, no new card, even if you switch jobs or change your number.
Nothing private lives on the chip — losing the card doesn't put your data at risk.
The chip holds only a short card ID that points to your public profile — the same page you already share with everyone. There's no login, no contact details and nothing editable stored on the card itself. Whoever finds it sees exactly what anyone you hand a card to sees.
Your profile lives in your ZYKO account, protected by your password. It stays fully under your control whether or not you ever find the card.
Want to retire a lost card or order a replacement? Email hello@zykocard.com with your order number and we'll take care of it.
