Why Digital Business Cards Are Better
Traditional paper business cards get lost, thrown away, or forgotten. A vCard QR code on your phone lets anyone instantly save your full contact information — name, phone, email, company, website — with one scan.
No app needed. No paper waste. Always with you.
What is a vCard?
A vCard (Virtual Contact File) is a standard format for contact information supported by all major smartphone operating systems. When someone scans your vCard QR code:
- •On iPhone — Prompts to add to Contacts
- •On Android — Auto-imports to Contacts app
- •On any device — Full contact is saved instantly
