How to create a digital business card, step by step

A digital business card is a web page with your contact details that opens when someone scans a QR code, taps an NFC chip or follows a link. From it, they can call you, message you or save your contact to their phone with one tap.

Which details to include

  • Full name, job title and company.
  • Phone and WhatsApp numbers with the international prefix (for example +34 or +58), so they work from any country.
  • Work email and website.
  • Office address, if you receive visitors.
  • Professional social profiles, such as LinkedIn.
  • A recent photo: it helps people remember you and appears in the contacts of whoever saves you.

How to create it with NexoCard

  1. Create your company account and upload your logo: NexoCard detects your colors.
  2. Add the shared details just once: website, social profiles, slogan and address.
  3. Add each person with their photo, job title and contact details. If you prefer, send them a private link so they fill them in themselves.
  4. Choose the template and colors. The digital card and its QR code are created instantly.
  5. Download the QR code or the print files, and share the link on WhatsApp or in your email signature.

Tips for a printed QR code that scans well

  • Size: on an 85 × 55 mm card, the QR code shouldn't be smaller than 2 × 2 cm.
  • Margin: leave a clear border around the code (the QR standard calls for a quiet zone of at least 4 modules).
  • Contrast: a dark code on a light background; avoid inverting the colors or using similar shades.
  • Use a dynamic QR code: it points to the digital card, so changes to your details don't force you to reprint.
  • Test the final file with several phones, iPhone and Android, before sending it to the print shop.

Ways to share it

  • A QR code printed on the paper or PVC card, on posters or on a trade show stand.
  • A link sent by WhatsApp, email or social media.
  • An email signature with a link to your card.
  • An NFC chip: the contact opens when a phone taps it.
