Digital Business Card Glossary
Plain-English definitions of the terms that come up around digital business cards. Each one explains what it means, how it works, and when it matters.
What Is a Digital Business Card?
A digital business card is a web page holding a person’s contact details, shared by a short link or a QR code instead of a printed card. Because the details live on the page rather than on paper, they can be changed at any time without reprinting or resending anything.
Read the definitionWhat Is a vCard (.vcf File)?
A vCard is a standard file format for contact details, usually saved with a .vcf extension, that phones and email clients can read directly into an address book. It stores structured fields such as name, organisation, several phone numbers, several email addresses, a postal address and a photo.
Read the definitionWhat Is a QR Code Business Card?
A QR code business card is a business card whose contact details are reached by scanning a printed QR code. The code can either encode the details directly, which fixes them permanently, or point at a contact page, which keeps them editable after printing.
Read the definitionWhat Is a Dynamic QR Code?
A dynamic QR code encodes a short, fixed redirect link rather than the destination itself, so the destination can be changed at any time without altering or reprinting the code. Because the printed pattern never changes, a dynamic code can be edited after printing and can count its scans.
