How to make a digital business card
To make a digital business card, create a free account, add your photo, title, phone, email and links, choose a layout, then share it by link, QR code or an NFC card. With Innovnet Basic it’s free forever and takes about five minutes. The person you share with needs no app.

How do I create a digital business card for free?
You can create a digital business card for free with Innovnet Basic. It includes up to 3 profiles, Save Contact and Exchange Contact, a custom contact-exchange form, a contact list and business card scanning. You only pay if you want a physical NFC card or PRO features.
Step 1: Create your account
Sign up at app.innovnet.ai with your email. Basic is free forever, with no credit card.
Step 2: Add your contact details
Add your full name, a clear headshot, job title, company, mobile number, work email and website.
Step 3: Add links and content
Add LinkedIn, a listings or portfolio page, a short bio, and any booking link you already use. Innovnet does not include a booking product.
Step 4: Choose a layout and colours
Pick the Centered or Classic layout on Basic, set your colours, and put the most important link first. PRO adds the Elegant and Profile-top layouts.
Step 5: Share it
Paste the link into email or text, download the QR code or add it to Apple Wallet, or order an NFC card and tap it on the other person’s phone.
What should I put on a digital business card?
Put what someone needs to remember you and contact you, then one clear next step.
- Must have: name, photo, job title, company, phone, email, and Save Contact.
- Good to have: LinkedIn, website, a one-line bio, and one next step.
- Skip a long list of social links and any outdated title or number.
Digital business card examples by job

| Consultant | Services | A call link you already use |
How do I add a QR code to my digital business card?
Every Innovnet profile comes with a QR code. Download it from your dashboard, or show it from Apple Wallet. Every physical card has the QR code printed on it. See QR code business cards.
Should I get a physical NFC card too?
Get one if you meet people in person. A tap opens the profile in about 2.8 seconds.
| Card | Price (CAD) |
|---|---|
| Classic PVC | CA$29.99 |
| Bamboo or walnut | CA$39.99 |
| Elite metal, from | CA$69.99 (red CA$139.99, blue CA$189.99) |
Elite metal is engraved with your name and logo after an art proof by email. Shipping is $10 CAD anywhere in Canada, in 5–9 business days. Shop NFC cards or compare metal business cards.
How do I collect contacts with my digital business card?
Turn on Exchange Contact so people can send you their details. Each exchange lands in your contact list with an email alert. On PRO you can point a tap at a lead form (Card Mode) and send new contacts to HubSpot or Salesforce, one way. Try 30 days of PRO, once per account, no card. Compare Basic and PRO.
