QR Code for Business Cards
Make every handshake actionable with one scan to contact, portfolio, and booking links.
The problem
What gets in the way
- Paper cards are handed out, but follow-through is difficult to measure.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What should a business card QR code link to?
A focused landing page with contact actions, credibility proof, and one booking option works best.
Can I keep the same card if my links change?
Yes — destination editing on Pro and Business plans lets you update the destination behind the smart link and keep your printed cards.
Can I track scans from conferences versus daily networking?
Yes. Create a separate short link per event to compare outcomes.
