Add Your Business Card to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet

What an Apple Wallet business card actually is

An Apple Wallet business card holds your contact details and a QR code, saved to the Wallet app alongside your tickets and loyalty cards. Apple Wallet does not create contact cards on its own, so the card has to be generated and signed by a service like this one.

The face of the card carries your name, photo, company, role, and the two ways people most often reach you, plus the QR. Apple allows six fields there, so anything else, a calendar link, an address, your social profiles, lives on your card page, which is what the QR opens. Because the card lives in Wallet, it is reachable from the lock screen, it works on Apple Watch, and it displays with no signal.

Two things worth knowing before you start. The text printed on your business card is a snapshot from the moment it was issued, so changing it means issuing the card again. And the card itself stays in your wallet for good, because neither Apple nor Google removes what you have added.

Also works with Google Wallet

The same form builds a Google Wallet business card. Pick Google Wallet before you create, and instead of a file you get a save link that opens Google Wallet directly.

One difference works in your favour. A Google Wallet card saves to your Google account rather than to a single device, so you can create it on a laptop and it appears on your phone. Apple Wallet cards can only be added from the phone itself, which is why we offer an email and a QR handoff on the last step.

iOS 27 Create a Pass, and what it does not do

Apple is adding a way to build your own Wallet passes. Here is where it stops.

iOS 27 adds a Create a Pass button to Apple Wallet, letting you build a pass yourself from a scanned code or from scratch, with no developer account and no certificate. It is a good addition, and it does not make a business card.

There are three templates, Standard, Membership, and Event, and none of them is a contact card. The pass it creates carries a static barcode and lives on that one device, with no card page behind the code, so nobody who scans it receives your details and nothing updates when you change job. It also needs an iPhone 12 or newer running iOS 27, and it is not available in the European Economic Area. Google Wallet is unaffected either way.

If what you want is a business card that hands over your contact details when someone scans it, you still need a card page behind the code. That is what this tool makes.
