cardr.co/marisol-vega
Example of what happens next: Priya Shah scans Marisol’s card, saves Marisol to their contacts and chooses to send their own details back. The next morning at 9 a.m., Cardr Pro reminds Marisol to follow up, with the email already drafted.
A digital business card for WhatsApp is a link, cardr.co/yourname, that you paste into any chat. It opens as your card in their browser, they save you to their contacts, and they can send their name and number back. Your WhatsApp number shows on the card as a tile, free. Pro pins a WhatsApp button right under Save.
Make it, then paste it in the chat.
Six steps, with nothing to install on either phone.
-
01
Make your card, free
Pick your address, cardr.co/yourname, and add your name, role and company. About a minute, with no app and no card details.
-
02

-
03

-
04
Or send your QR as an image
In Cardr, open your QR and press Download PNG, then send the image in the chat or post it to your status. Anyone can scan it from another screen.
-
05
Put it where people look

-
06
In person, show the QR
Open the pass in Apple Wallet and let them scan it. With no signal, switch to your no-signal code, which carries your contact itself.
The WhatsApp tile is free. The button is Pro.
Both open a chat with you. The difference is where the button sits and what it says first.
ExamplePriya Dhillon is invented. The labels are the card page’s own.
WhatsApp’s QR, a contact, or a card.
WhatsApp has its own QR code, next to your name in Settings. Scanning it adds you as a contact in WhatsApp, and it lasts until you reset it. It carries your number, or your username once you have one (WhatsApp is rolling usernames out, per its Help Center, read October 29, 2026).
| WhatsApp QR | Contact in chat | Cardr link | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What they get | Your WhatsApp account | A contact copied from your phone | Your card page: name, role, company, links |
| Saves you to their phone contacts | Yes, with Add to Contacts in WhatsApp | Yes, as you saved yourself | Yes, with one tap on Save |
| They can send their details back | No | No | Yes, into your list |
| Shows your number | Yes, unless you have a WhatsApp username | If it is on the contact | Only if you add it |
| How long it works | Until you reset it | A copy; it never updates | Always opens your card as it is now |
| Works without WhatsApp | No | No | Yes, in any browser |
From WhatsApp’s Help Center (WhatsApp Help Center: About WhatsApp QR codes and WhatsApp Help Center: How to contact someone by username): the QR sits next to your name in Settings, lasts until you reset it, and now carries your username where you have one. Read October 29, 2026.

WhatsApp cards, answered.
Is a digital business card for WhatsApp free?
Yes. On Cardr’s free plan your card is a link you can paste into any WhatsApp chat, and your WhatsApp number shows on it as a tile, with no time limit and no card details. Pro adds a pinned WhatsApp button under Save.
What does Pro add for WhatsApp?
A button that says “WhatsApp Priya”, pinned right under Save, which opens a chat with a message you wrote in advance (up to 300 characters). It shows again after they send you their details, and Results counts its taps by where people came from.
Can I share my card without giving out my number?
Yes. Leave your number off the card and share the link. They still save your name, role, email and page. The WhatsApp tile and button only appear when the card has a number to open.
Does it work with WhatsApp Business?
Yes. The tile and the button open a chat with whichever number you put on the card, so a WhatsApp Business number works the same way.
What if the other person does not use WhatsApp?
The card is a web page, so it opens on any phone. They can save you and send their details back without WhatsApp, and the Call and Email tiles are there too.
Is a Cardr link better than WhatsApp’s own QR code?
They do different jobs. WhatsApp’s QR adds you as a contact in WhatsApp, with your number or, once you have one, your WhatsApp username. A Cardr card saves your full contact to their phone and lets them send theirs back. Many people use both.
Does my card update in old chats?
Yes. The link always opens your card as it is now, so a link sent last year shows today’s details. A contact someone already saved stays as they saved it.
Does it work on Android?
The card page and the WhatsApp tile work on any phone. Your own pass goes in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet.
