Online Business Card
An online business card is a live web profile you share by link or QR code instead of handing over paper. It holds your contact details, socials, portfolio and call to action, opens instantly on any iPhone or Android without an app, and you can edit it at any time without reprinting.
Your profile lives online — share it by link or QR code, and edit it anytime.
From $79 — one-time payment, no subscription. Digital only, live within minutes.

How the online business card works
An online business card puts your professional identity on a single web address. Rather than handing over a printed rectangle that has to be reprinted whenever something changes, you share a link that always shows your current role, number, email and everything else you want people to find.
The same profile travels in several forms: a plain link you can paste anywhere, a QR code you can display on a screen or a slide, a line in your email signature, a wallet pass where your phone supports it, and a link in your social bio. One place to edit, many ways to share.
Because it lives online, the profile is also indexable, linkable and easy to send to someone who was not in the room. Send it before a meeting so people know who they are talking to, or after one so nothing is lost.
Where people use it
Email signatures
One link under your name gives every recipient your full profile instead of a wall of contact lines.
Social bios
Replace a link-in-bio tool with a profile that also saves straight to the phone contacts app.
Proposals and quotes
Add the link to documents so a prospect can reach you months later without digging through email.
Conferences
Show the QR code on a badge holder or a slide and let the room save your details without queuing.

Frequently asked questions
- What is an online business card?
- An online business card is a web page holding your professional details, shared by link or QR code. The person you share it with opens it in their browser and can save your contact in a single step.
- Do I need a website to use one?
- No. The profile is hosted for you and comes with its own address. If you do have a website, you can link to it from the profile, and link back to the profile from your site.
- Is anything printed or sent to me?
- No. This is a digital product. Nothing is manufactured and nothing arrives in the post — your profile and its link are ready within minutes of purchase.
- Will it work in an email signature?
- Yes. Paste the link, or embed the QR image. Recipients on desktop click through, and recipients on a phone can scan it from a second screen.
- Is the link permanent?
- Yes. The address stays the same while your account is active, so signatures, slides and QR codes you have already shared keep working after you edit the content behind them.
- Can I see who opened it?
- With the Business Add-ons plan you get views, link clicks and captured leads in your dashboard. The Brand Presence plan focuses on the profile itself without lead capture.
- Can I password-protect parts of it?
- Yes. Visibility controls let you hide selected sections or lock the profile behind a password, which is useful for client-only or campaign-specific versions.
- What happens if I change jobs?
- Edit the profile. Your company, role, email and links update everywhere at once, including on every link and QR code already in circulation.
- Does it work abroad?
- Yes. The profile is a web page, so it loads anywhere with an internet connection, and there is no hardware to carry through an airport.
