#1 At the final step—after creating the card—choose the ‘Add to Apple Wallet Pass’ option.

A side panel will show up with a preview of your digital business card. Click the “Share” tab and choose “Add to Apple Wallet Pass”. 

You will see a pop-up with ”Get Apple Wallet Pass” on your screen. In this window, you can customize the look of your wallet pass before adding it to your Apple Wallet.

#2 Send the card to your Apple Wallet using the 3 ways provided.

a. Scan the QR Code with your iPhone. This will load the card in your Apple Wallet where you can save it with one click.

b. Copy the URL and share it with the recipient. Upon clicking the link, the card will load on the recipient’s iPhone and they can instantly save it in their Apple Wallet.

c. Email the card to the recipient. By clicking the URL in the email, the receiver can add the digital business card to their Apple Wallet.

#2 How to automatically send a digital business card to its owner’s Apple or Google Wallet

Uniqode’s digital business card solution lets you automatically send an e-business card to its owner’s email ID, as soon as the card is created. Through this email, the recipient can instantly add the card to their Apple or Google Wallet.

With this method, you can avoid the manual process of sending a digital business card to its owner—whenever a new card is generated. This is particularly effective when you need to send hundreds or thousands of cards to their respective owners’ Apple or Google Wallets. 

Here’s how you can enable the auto-send feature on Uniqode’s dashboard:

Log in to the dashboard > Organisations > Manage permissions (Click the gear/settings icon) > Enable ‘Auto send wallet passes to owner’

Note: The ‘Owner’ is the user whose email address has been assigned to a particular card.

Here’s a video tutorial on how you can enable the auto-send feature:

#3 How to share a digital business card using Siri

Once you add a digital business card to your Apple Wallet, you can share the card via Siri. All you have to do is unlock your iPhone, invoke Siri, and say “Show my business card”. This will prompt Siri to load the digital business card stored in your Apple Wallet so you can present it to your client.

#4 How to share a digital business card via a QR Code

By downloading your business card QR Code in a suitable format, you can use it in the following ways:

#1 Include the image (PNG or JPG format) of this QR Code in your email signature. This way, you can share more than just your basic contact details via the e-business card accessible from your email signatures.

#2 Or, you can get creative by embedding this contact information QR Code on your resume, keychain, or booth stands (during business conferences).

To download your business card QR Code, click the ‘Download’ button after creating your digital business card. You can save it in your preferred format—PNG, JPG, SVG, PDF, EPS, or a Custom format.

#5 How to send a digital business card as an URL

If you wish to send your digital contact card as a web URL to your client, follow these steps after creating your card:

#1 Click the ‘Copy’ icon right next to your card’s URL under ‘Share as a link’.
