Common questions
What information can a business card QR code contain?
A vCard QR code can contain: name, job title, company, phone numbers (mobile, work, fax), email, website, address, and social media links.
Will a business card QR code work on all phones?
Yes — iOS 11+, Android 9+, and most recent Android versions can scan QR codes natively with the camera app. No app needed.
Can I put more than one QR code on a business card?
You can, but one is usually best — additional codes dilute attention. If your card is double-sided, consider a contact QR on one side and a portfolio or LinkedIn QR on the other.
