No tap. Nothing to pair. Their camera reads it.

It’s a QR. Their camera opens your page. No app, no battery.

How we test every QR

One scan. They have you.

They save you to their contacts, then send their details back.

Your details change. The card doesn’t.

Edit your Cardr once. Every card already out there opens the update.

Each pack reports back.

Questions.

Does it tap, and which phones can scan it?

There is no chip, so there is nothing to tap and nothing to pair. Point a phone camera that reads QR codes at it, then open the link with an internet connection. Your page opens in their browser; they do not need the Cardr app.

What do they see when they scan it?

Your Cardr: your own page on cardr.co with your details and links, opened in a phone browser without a Cardr app. People save you to their contacts and can send their details back. It works on the free plan, so the cards never need a subscription. No Cardr yet? Make one free, before or after you order.

Can I change my details later?

Yes, everything the QR opens. Edit your Cardr whenever you like and every card you have handed out opens the new version. What is engraved stays as it is, so engrave what stays true, like your name and website. Until your cards are made, you can change the design free.

What if I lose a pack, or move job?

Switch a lost pack’s QR off from your dashboard whenever you like, and those cards stop opening your page. Move job and your Cardr moves with you: change your title and company on it, and every card you have handed out opens your new details. The company engraved on the card does not change, so order a new pack when you want it to.

How long do they take to arrive?

They are made to order. Order today and they are estimated to arrive by Tue 3 Nov: an estimated 10 to 11 working days from payment to posting, then free UK tracked delivery, with the tracking by email when they are posted. Cardr Metal ships to the UK only for now. Outside the UK? Choose your country under the buy button to join the waitlist, and we will email you once if it ships there. More about delivery.

Do I see my card before it is made?

Yes. We check every design by hand before it is made. The design page draws your card as you type, with the same code that draws the file we engrave from, and you can change it free until it is made.

What is included, and what happens when Pro ends?

Your editable profile, saving contacts and mutual contact exchange work on Free. Packs with Pro months include the extra features for that time: the 100 pack 3 months of Cardr Pro, worth £36, at Pro’s monthly price; the 250 pack a year of Cardr Pro, worth £108, what a year of Pro costs. Already pay for Pro? You pay the same, and each pack’s months are added to your Pro once your cards go to be made. If you pay for Pro on cardr.co, they come as credit on your Pro bill, or your team’s. If you pay through the App Store, you stay billed by Apple and the included months wait until that subscription ends. When Pro ends, your profile and Metal QR keep working on Free. Compare Free, Pro and Teams.

Can I return them?

We check every design by hand before it is made, and you can change it free until then. Cards are made to your design, so we cannot take back a correct order. If a card arrives wrong, faulty or damaged, we remake it free or refund you. More about returns.

What colours are there?

Black, Silver and Gold. On Black the engraving is bright bare metal; on Silver and Gold it is filled black, so it reads clearly and the QR scans. How we test the QR on every colour.

Can I add my logo?

No. A Cardr Metal card carries text and its QR only, because a logo or a photo can be hard to engrave well. Your company name goes on as text: top left in the classic layout, and alone in the middle of the front in the centred one.

Do you make cards for a whole team?

Yes. A pack for each person, in the company’s colour, each opening that person’s own Cardr. With Cardr Teams the company details on every card stay right from one place, and a leaver’s cards are switched off in a click. Explore team setup and employee ordering there. For more than 250 cards, ask for a price.

Is VAT added to the price?

Cardr is not registered for VAT, so none is added: the price shown is the price you pay.

How is the digital profile set up after payment?

For a paid personal order, Cardr creates or links a profile where account ownership allows it. If you already have an account, you may need to sign in and confirm the profile before we make the cards. Your receipt links to the order page with its next step. Team orders use each member’s own profile. No subscription is required.
