If you want people to save your contact details instantly by scanning a QR code, this guide is for you. Follow the steps below to build a fully configured Digital Business Card QR Code in minutes.

Maybe you are:

  • Printing QR on visiting cards
  • Sharing contact at networking events
  • Adding QR to email signature
  • Using it at exhibitions or trade shows
  • Wanting paperless contact sharing
  • Tracking profile views

Before You Create the QR Code

Before starting, make sure:

  • Your phone number is correct (with country code)
  • Your email address is active
  • Your social links are correct
  • Your website URL works properly

Wrong contact details = Lost opportunities
