How to use QR codes for vCard contact sharing
Typing contacts from badges is error-prone. A vCard QR—often on a badge or phone wallpaper—lets people save you correctly in one tap.
Built for sales and networking professionals.
Do this in order
- Decide between raw vCard data vs a hosted contact page with richer context.
- Test save flows on iOS and Android; some clients truncate fields.
- Use dynamic QR if you route through a page that can add calendar links later.
- Keep filenames and photo reasonable; huge images bloat vCards.
Common placements
- event badge
- meeting follow-up
- team contact card
Networking etiquette
- Offer to scan theirs too.
- Follow up within 24 hours referencing the event.
