How Digital Business Cards Work (And Why Bizcardy Makes It Simple)

How Digital Business Cards Work (And Why Bizcardy Makes It Simple)

Paper business cards are easy to lose, awkward to update and usually end up in a drawer. Digital business cards solve all of that by putting your contact details into a smart profile that you can share in seconds with a tap or a scan.

At Bizcardy, everything starts with one profile. From that single profile, you can connect:

• Physical NFC cards
• Your Apple Wallet or Google Wallet
• QR codes you can put anywhere

So you always stay in control of your details while making it effortless for people to save them.

Step 1: Create your Bizcardy profile

First, you set up your profile on the Bizcardy platform.

Typically this includes:

• Name and job title
• Company and logo
• Phone, email and website
• Social links like LinkedIn, Instagram or X
• A short bio or tagline
• Optional extras like calendars, portfolios or payment links

Think of it as your personal landing page. Whenever you change role, company or phone number, you just update the profile once. Every card, wallet pass and QR code that links to it will show the new information automatically.

Step 2: Link your profile to a physical NFC card

Next, you connect your profile to a Bizcardy NFC card.

An NFC card looks and feels like a premium business card or access card, but inside it has a tiny chip. When someone taps the card on their phone (most modern smartphones support NFC), it opens your Bizcardy profile in the browser.

In practice, it works like this:

1. You tap your Bizcardy NFC card on someone’s phone.
2. Their phone reads the NFC tag.
3. A link to your Bizcardy profile appears.
4. They tap the link, see your details and can save you in their contacts instantly.

You do not need to print new cards every time you change your job title or number. Your NFC card is just a gateway to your profile, which you can edit any time.

Step 3: Add your Bizcardy profile to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet

For an even smoother experience, you can add your Bizcardy profile to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet.

You get a digital pass that lives on your phone, just like a boarding pass or event ticket. From there you can:

• Show a QR code that links to your profile
• Tap your phone on compatible devices to share your details
• Keep your card with you at all times, even if you forgot your physical NFC card

This is perfect for:

• Networking events
• Conferences and trade shows
• Meetings where you are likely to share details with many people in one day

Step 4: Share with a QR code or a tap

Bizcardy gives you two main ways to share your digital card in real life:

1. Share by tap

• Tap your NFC card on someone’s phone
• Or tap your phone itself if you are using a Wallet pass that supports tap to share

The phone picks up the link and opens your Bizcardy profile. From there, they can save your contact in one click.

2. Share with a QR code

Every Bizcardy profile can be linked to a QR code. You can:

• Show the QR code from your Wallet pass
• Print it on posters, stands, name badges or lanyards
• Add it to email signatures, presentations or slides

Someone points their camera at the QR code, taps the link and lands on your profile.
