The whole point of a digital card is that you have options. Different settings call for different sharing methods. Here's the menu, with notes on when each one is the right call.
Apple Wallet (iPhone)
Double-tap the side button, hold the QR code in front of the other person's camera, done. This is the fastest method if you have an iPhone. The pass also lives on your Apple Watch if you have one. See adding your card to Apple Wallet for setup.
Google Wallet (Android)
Same idea as Apple Wallet, but on Android. Once your card is saved to Google Wallet, opening the pass shows your QR code, ready to be scanned. See adding your card to Google Wallet.
QR code
Every card has a QR code that points to its public URL. You can show it on your phone, print it on a sign, put it on a flyer, or embed it in your email signature. People scan it with their phone camera. No app needed.
NFC tag or card
NFC is the tap-to-share technology built into all modern smartphones. You buy a blank NFC sticker or card (a few bucks online), write your profile URL to it using our iOS app, and then anyone can tap their phone to it to open your card. Great for events. See writing your card to an NFC tag.
Link
Your card URL works anywhere a URL works. Drop it into an email, a Slack DM, an SMS, a LinkedIn message, your bio. It's just a web page.
AirDrop (iPhone to iPhone)
From the iOS app, you can AirDrop your card directly to someone nearby without using internet. Useful at conferences when WiFi is overloaded. See sharing without internet.
Apple Share Sheet
From the iOS app, tap share and pick any app from the share sheet: Messages, Mail, WhatsApp, anything. Your card link gets sent along.
Email signature
Add a small banner or "scan to connect" image to your email signature with a link to your card. Every email you send becomes a soft pitch.
Embed on your website
Drop our embed snippet on any web page and visitors can open your card with one click. See embedding your card on a website.
vCard download
Add .vcf to the end of your card URL to download the raw vCard. You can attach it to an email or send it as a file. The recipient opens it and your details land in their contacts app.
Pick the one for the moment
In person, Apple Wallet or NFC. At a conference table, leave a printed QR code. In a Zoom call, drop the link into chat. By email, attach the vCard. There's no one right way: the right way is whatever's least friction for the person on the other end.
