How to add a business card to Google Wallet Your business card, in Google Wallet.

Sign in at cardr.co on the computer, open the Card tab and choose Add to Google Wallet under On your phone. A code appears. Point your Android phone’s camera at it, and your card opens on the phone, signed in: tap Add to Google Wallet, then Save.

Or save it to Google Wallet from this computer, with the link under the code. Use the Google account your phone is signed into, then open Google Wallet on the phone and the card is there.

Designs with artwork, such as Intaglio and Aurora, carry it as a full-width picture on the pass. Intaglio and Aurora are Pro designs. The other designs, including the free Oxford, set the pass’s colour and show no picture. Your photo, or your company’s logo on a team card, goes in the small round logo, not in the artwork.

Here is the artwork of a Google Wallet pass in the Intaglio design, drawn by the same code that makes every real pass. Google Wallet places it on the pass and draws the text around it itself.

Change your job title or your number in Cardr and the pass in Google Wallet follows, as does your page. The QR code opens your page, so whoever scans it sees your current details.

• You opened it inside another app. An app’s built-in browser cannot hand a pass to Google Wallet. Open the same page in Chrome and tap the button there.
• The phone is too old, or has no Google Play services. Google says Google Wallet needs Android 9 or later and up-to-date Google Play services. If yours does not have them, use Show my code full screen from the same place: it shows the same QR code and can be kept on your home screen.
• Your country is not on Google’s list. Google lists the countries it supports, and some passes are limited to some of them. The United Kingdom is on the list. Elsewhere, Show my code works the same way.
