Digital business cards for small businesses
A digital business card gives each person on your small-business team a reusable profile that can be updated without reprinting. Your team shares it by tap, scan or link, and people who choose to send their details are saved in one dashboard for follow-up.

Android has supported NFC since 2010; device availability still depends on the manufacturer, model and settings.

Customers who save you get a vCard (.vcf) — the IETF-standard contact format (RFC 6350) that drops straight into any phone’s address book.

The short answer
What a digital business card does for a small business
For a small business, a digital business card replaces paper cards with a single live web page for each person on your team. Customers open it by tapping a card, scanning a QR code, or clicking a link — no app to download. They instantly see your details, save your contact, book a time, or buy what you sell.
Because it is a live page, you update it once and cards already handed out open the current profile. No reprints are needed when a phone number, title or promotion changes. Profile analytics can help compare visits and engagement across events, staff and locations.
Why small businesses use them
Built for teams that meet customers face to face
One card for the whole team
Everyone shares the same branded profile, but with their own name and details. Add or remove staff without ordering a new print run.
Never reprint again
New number, new hire, new offer? Edit once and every card in circulation updates on the next tap. No wasted boxes of outdated cards.
Save submitted leads
Paper cards vanish into pockets. A digital exchange form can save details from people who submit them in one dashboard, making follow-up easier to organize.
