A digital business card is a QR code type that resolves to a hosted contact page. When someone scans it, they land on a clean page showing your details with an Add to Contacts button that saves you straight to their phone. Because the card is hosted, you can edit the details anytime and the same code keeps working, and every scan is tracked.
Business Card vs. vCard
SnapGlyph has two contact-related QR types, and it helps to know the difference before you pick one:
- Business Card (this article): The contact details live on a hosted page at a SnapGlyph link. The QR code points to that page, so you can update the information later, the same code stays valid, and scans are counted. Visitors tap Add to Contacts to save you.
- vCard: The contact details are encoded directly into the QR image itself. There is no hosted page. Scanning it prompts the phone to save the contact immediately, but the data is fixed at the moment you create the code. You cannot edit it afterward, and it is not tracked.
Choose Business Card when you want an editable, trackable card with a real page. Choose vCard when you just want a static image that carries the contact data with nothing hosted behind it.
Create a Business Card
- Click QR Codes in the sidebar and start a new QR code.
- Under QR Code Type, select Business Card.
- Fill in the contact fields. You must provide a First Name or a Last Name; everything else is optional:
- First Name and Last Name
- Organization (your company)
- Job Title
- Phone
- Website: must be a secure
https://link, because the hosted page renders it as a tappable link - Address (optional): street, city, state/province, ZIP/postal code, and country
- Customize the QR code’s colors, logo, and frame if you like, the same as any other QR code.
- Save the QR code, then download or share it.
The Hosted Card Page
When your Business Card QR code is scanned, it opens a hosted contact page. The page shows the name, title, company, and other details you entered, with your website as a tappable link. A single Add to Contacts button lets the visitor save your details.
The page URL is shareable and bookmarkable on its own, so you can send the link directly without a QR code if you want.
Add to Contacts
Tapping Add to Contacts downloads a standard contact file (a .vcf vCard). On an iPhone, this opens the native contact sheet so the visitor can save you in one tap; on other devices it downloads a contact file their address book can import. The file is generated on the fly from the details on your card, so if you edit your card later, new downloads reflect the change.
Because the card is hosted, editing the destination or the contact details keeps the same QR code working, and the card respects any expiration date, scan limit, or pause you set on the code.
Branding
The hosted card page shows a small “Powered by SnapGlyph” footer. On the Max plan, that footer is removed for a fully white-label page.
