What is a digital business card?

A digital business card is an online version of your contact details that you share by QR code, link, or tap. It never runs out, updates instantly when your details change, and the other person saves it to their phone without installing an app. In ConnectMachine, each share also keeps a note of how you met.

How it works

  1. Create your card once

    Add your name, role, company, links, and photo in ConnectMachine. You can build several cards for different contexts, one for work, one for friends, one for events, and choose exactly what each one shows.

  2. Share it any way you like

    Show the QR code on your screen or lock screen, send the link in a message or email signature, or tap phones. The other person opens it in their browser, so there is nothing for them to install.

  3. They save it, you keep the context

    Your details land in their phone contacts in one tap. On your side, ConnectMachine records who you shared with and lets you attach a note, so the meeting is not just a name in a list.

What makes it work

Always current, never out of stock

Change your number, title, or company and the card updates everywhere it has been shared. There is no reprinting and no stale details living in other people's phones.

Works without an app on their side

Anyone with a phone camera can receive your card. That removes the biggest friction in exchanging details and makes the share succeed on the first try.

A card that remembers

Paper cards carry ten lines of text. A ConnectMachine card carries your links, your calendar, and an AI that keeps notes on every person you exchange with, so the connection survives the event.

Frequently asked questions

What is a digital business card?
It is your contact details as a live online card, shared by QR code, link, or tap instead of paper. The other person opens it in a browser and saves you to their contacts.
How do digital business cards work?
Your details live at a private link. A QR code or tap opens that link on the other person's phone, and one tap saves your details into their contacts. Edits you make show up everywhere the card was shared.
Do I need NFC hardware to use a digital business card?
No. A QR code works on any modern phone camera with nothing to buy. NFC tap is a nice extra where both phones support it, but it is not required.
Are digital business cards free?
ConnectMachine has a free plan that includes up to 4 cards, Apple and Google Wallet, and contact export to CSV. Paid plans add unlimited AI card scanning, the AI Notetaker, and the AI Concierge.
Is a digital business card better than paper?
For most professionals, yes: it cannot run out, it stays current, and it lands in a phone instead of a drawer. Paper still has its moments, which is why ConnectMachine also scans paper cards.
