Benefits of Using an Online Card Together With a Wallet Card

  • Be ready in any situation
    Use your Wallet card for fast, in-person sharing and your online card for full details when someone opens it.

  • Share instantly, save easily
    The Wallet card makes it simple to show your QR code, while the online card lets people save your contact details in one tap.

  • Keep your information up to date
    Update your online card anytime. This helps reduce the risk of sharing outdated phone numbers, titles, or links.

  • Show more than basic contact details
    Your Wallet card is perfect for quick access. Your online card can include links, social profiles, booking pages, files, and more.

  • Capture leads, not just connections
    With features like “Add to contacts” or contact collection, your online card can turn a quick meeting into a saved lead.

  • Look more professional
    A Wallet card feels modern and convenient. An online card gives a complete, branded experience.

  • Work across devices
    Wallet works great on mobile during meetings. The online card link works anywhere—email, chat, social media, or desktop.
