Digital business cards, explained
A digital business card is a web page holding your contact details that you share instantly by QR code, NFC tap or link. The person you meet opens it in any browser, saves you to their phone contacts in one tap, and you can change your title, number or company afterwards without reprinting anything. BizKard adds the other half: it scans the paper cards you are handed, enriches those contacts, and drafts the follow-up.
How a digital business card works
Your card lives at a permanent link — on BizKard that is bizkard.me followed by your own slug. You share the link three ways: show its QR code on your phone screen, write it to an NFC tag or sticker so a phone opens it on tap, or paste it into a message, email signature or profile. Nothing is installed on the other person's phone, and they can save your details as a normal contact straight from the page.
Digital vs paper business cards
- Stays correct. A new title or phone number updates the card everywhere it has already been shared.
- No reprints. No box of 500 ordered for a single conference, and no drawer of obsolete cards.
- Richer. Links, socials, a photo, company branding and a call to action fit on one card.
- Measurable. Share receipts show when a card was opened, which paper never tells you.
- Two-way. The cards you are handed get scanned into a searchable library instead of a stack in your bag.
What to put on your card
Keep it to what someone needs in the ten seconds after meeting you: your name, role and company, a photo so they remember the conversation, one phone number, one email address, the profile that matters in your industry, and a single call to action such as booking a call. Everything else belongs on your website.
QR codes, NFC and wallet passes
A QR code works on any phone camera and is the safest default in a room full of strangers. NFC tags are faster when you hand the same card over repeatedly — a tap opens the link with no camera involved. A wallet pass keeps your own card one swipe away on your lock screen. BizKard supports all three from the same card.
Is a digital business card private?
It depends on the platform. A card that search engines index puts your phone number and email on the open web. BizKard cards are excluded from search engines and blocked from AI scrapers, so the card reaches the people you share it with rather than becoming a public contact listing.
Getting started
Creating a card is free — pick a slug, add your details, and share the QR code. When you start collecting cards at events, the scanning, enrichment and follow-up features take over from there. Plans and credits are listed on the pricing page.
