The bookings come from the room you just played to, and the conversation happens while you are carrying an amp. Cardr makes the handover a code on a phone and gets you their details rather than a promise to look you up.
Every booking you get started with someone who watched you play. The trouble is the moment they want to talk to you: the set has ended, you are moving gear, it is loud, and the venue has no signal. Cardr makes that handover a code on the phone in your pocket, with nothing for them to install, and brings their number and email back so a booking enquiry does not depend on them remembering your band name spelled correctly.
Of every scene on this site, this is the one with the fewest free hands and the worst conditions.
The load-out
Of every scene on this site, this is the one with the fewest free hands and the worst conditions.
Every constraint above is what decides the format. A card that fails any one of the three does not get used a second time, however good it looks.
Somebody has just decided they want you at their wedding, their bar, or their birthday, and they have roughly the length of a load-out to act on it. In that window you cannot get to a bag, you cannot hear an email address being spelled, and typing anything into a phone in a dark room is optimistic.
A code they scan is the only thing that reliably works, and it has to work without the venue’s signal, which basements and function rooms do not have. A Wallet pass is stored on the device rather than fetched, so it shows regardless.
What comes back is the important half. A punter who has your Instagram will maybe message you. A punter whose number you have gets a reply the next morning with your rates and your availability, which is when a good night becomes a booking.
Not a mock-up. The artwork below is drawn by the same function that draws the inside of the signed .pkpass file, in the same colours the real pass carries, so this is what Wallet shows.

PricingFree forever, or £12 a monthWhat each plan includes, and the sixty-day guarantee.
No. Apple Wallet is preinstalled on every iPhone and cannot be deleted. Android users open your page from the QR code and save you to their contacts. Nobody is downloading an app at eleven at night in a function room.
Your pass opens offline, because it is stored on your phone. The person scanning your code needs enough signal to load the page once, so in a basement the reliable pattern is taking their details there and sending your links when you are back on a network.
Yes, on the free plan. Website, Spotify, SoundCloud, Instagram, YouTube and a booking link are standard, so the card can carry the whole thing rather than just a phone number.
Not on one account. Each Cardr is a single card, so a second act means a second account. It is clumsy and we would rather tell you before you sign up.
Free forever for the card, the Apple Wallet pass and the two-way exchange, with no card details taken. Pro is £12 a month, or £9 a month billed annually, and adds the contact memory, the drafted replies and the reminders. Sixty-day money back guarantee.
Nothing for the other person to install, and no card details to start.
