vCard and digital business card QR codes
Contact QR codes work best when the QR payload is standards-friendly, compact, and easy for phone contact apps to map into name, phone, email, website, and address fields.
Start with the contact import
A static vCard QR should emit both a display name and a structured name. That gives iOS, Android, Google Contacts, and Outlook a better chance of placing the person into the correct first-name and surname fields.
Split address fields also matter. Street, suburb, city, region, postcode, and country can be mapped into the vCard address slots instead of being treated as one long note.
When to use static or Smart QR
Static vCard
Use static when the contact details are stable and you want the phone to import the contact directly from the QR code.
Smart business card
Use Smart QR when you need a hosted profile, logo or photo updates, analytics, and a short link that can be managed after printing.
Test before you print
Scan the final PNG or SVG from a real phone, save the draft contact, and confirm that name, phone, email, website, and address fields land where expected. If the QR looks dense, remove optional imagery or use a Smart QR profile link.
