How a QR code business card works
- You set up your company brand once: logo, colors, slogan, website and social profiles.
- You add each person with their photo, job title and contact details (several phone numbers, mobiles, WhatsApp lines or emails if they have them).
- NexoCard creates their digital card and a unique QR code. Print it on the physical card, share it on WhatsApp or add it to your email signature.
- Scanning the QR code opens the card in the phone's browser with buttons to call, message on WhatsApp, send an email, visit the website and save the contact.
Two kinds of QR code, depending on what you need
- Dynamic QR code (recommended): it points to the digital card. If the person's details change, the printed QR code keeps working and always shows up-to-date information.
- Direct vCard QR code: it holds the contact details inside the code itself and works without an internet connection. It must be regenerated if the details change.
- Both download as PNG or SVG, in rounded, dotted or classic style. The dynamic QR code can carry your logo in the center.
Advantages over traditional paper cards
- Details update without reprinting: a new phone number or job title shows up instantly.
- The contact ends up in the client's phone, not in a drawer.
- You know how many times each card is scanned, how many contacts are saved and which buttons are tapped.
- If someone leaves the company, you deactivate their card and the printed QR code stops showing it.

Frequently asked questions
Does the person scanning the QR code need an app?
No. Any phone with a camera reads the QR code and opens the card in the browser. Contacts are saved in vCard format, which works on iPhone and Android.
What happens if someone's details change?
With the dynamic QR code there is nothing to reprint: the code points to the digital card and always shows the latest details.
Can I use my own domain in the QR code?
Yes. On the Business Full plan, cards can open on a subdomain of your company, such as cards.yourcompany.com.
