The wedding you are shooting is the best-qualified room you will stand in all year. Cardr hands your details over between shots, takes theirs back, and drafts the reply before anyone has googled an alternative.
Your best marketing is the job you are already doing. At a wedding you are in front of a hundred people who have just watched you work, and a good number of them are getting married, expecting, or running a business that needs headshots. Cardr shares your details in one tap with nothing for them to install, captures their name and email back in the same action, and drafts the reply from what you talked about, so a Saturday enquiry gets a real answer on the Sunday rather than the Wednesday.
Both hands are on a camera. Someone is asking what you charge. The window is about twelve seconds long.

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.
You cannot get a printed card out of a bag on the other side of the room, and you cannot type an email address into a phone with a body and two lenses hanging off you. The version that actually happens is showing a code on the phone in your pocket while they point their camera at it.
What you want back is not attention, it is an email address. A guest who has taken your Instagram handle will not remember it on Monday, and a follow is not a lead. A guest whose details are in your list gets a reply on Sunday morning, while they are still telling everyone how good the day was.
Venues are also the worst signal environment on this whole site. Country houses, barns, crypts and marquees are built out of stone and steel with no thought for a phone, and a card that is only a web page will not load in most of them. A Wallet pass opens with no signal at all, because it is already on the device.
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.

No. The pass goes into Apple Wallet, which is preinstalled on every iPhone and cannot be deleted. Android users open your page from the QR code and save you to their contacts from there. Nobody downloads an app at a wedding.
Your pass opens offline, because it lives on your phone. The guest scanning your code needs enough signal to load the page once. In a venue with genuinely nothing, the pattern that works is showing the pass, taking their email on the spot, and following up when you are back on a network.
Yes, on the free plan. Website, Instagram, a booking link and a location are all standard link types, so the card can point at your gallery and your calendar rather than just your phone number.
Not on one account today. Each Cardr is a single card, so two positionings means two accounts. It is a real limitation and we would rather say it than let you find out after signing up.
The card, the Apple Wallet pass, the QR code and the two-way exchange are free forever, 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, with a sixty-day money back guarantee.
Nothing for the other person to install, and no card details to start.
