7 Ways to Share a Digital Business Card (and When to Use Each)

The best digital business card is the one that actually gets shared. That means having the right method ready for every situation, from a loud conference floor to a quiet video call.

1. Dynamic QR code

Best for instant in-person introductions. Show your dynamic QR code on your phone screen or badge, and the other person scans it in one second using their native camera app.

2. Apple or Google Wallet pass

Best for rapid lock-screen access. Save your digital card pass to your Apple Wallet or Google Wallet. Double-click your phone or smartwatch side button to present your code instantly, even offline.

3. Phone lock screen widget

Save your dynamic QR code as a phone lock screen wallpaper or widget. Contacts can scan without you having to unlock your phone or launch an app.

4. Direct link

Best for messaging apps and social bios. A short personal link fits anywhere text does.

5. Email signature

Best for passive sharing. Every email you send becomes a chance for someone to save your details.

6. Video call background

Best for remote meetings. A subtle QR code in your virtual background lets participants save your card during the call.

7. Text message

Best right after a meeting. Send your link with a short note so your contact has it in their messages too.
