An Apple Wallet contact card gives recipients a digital way to review and save your contact details. With QREasy, you can create a contact-focused Wallet card or a separate vCard QR code, then share it without asking someone to type a phone number or email address. The important distinction is what the QR contains: embedded contact data or a link to a small website.
Key takeaways
A contact-card QR embeds contact details for review and optional saving
Contact Wallet cards are free and do not use the website-opening journey
Changing embedded vCard details requires a newly generated QR code
Website-linked Wallet cards open a website and require Lite SME or Business
What is an Apple Wallet contact card?
An Apple Wallet contact card is a digital business card focused on the information people need to continue a conversation: your contact details. QREasy’s digital business card creator supports contact cards for Apple Wallet and Google Wallet. In the supported Wallet journey, a recipient can review the card and choose whether to save the details. Saving is not automatic; the recipient remains in control.
This is different from a website-linked Wallet card. A contact-card QR carries embedded vCard information, so its main job is contact exchange. A website-linked QR carries a website address, so it sends the recipient to a page in the phone browser. The latter is better for presenting services, work samples, links and an introduction; the former is quicker when the goal is simply to share how to reach you.
Choose a contact card when the next step is a call, email or meeting.
Choose a website-linked card when recipients need context before deciding whether to contact you.
Both journeys should be tested on the devices you expect recipients to use.
How to create and share a contact-card QR code with QREasy
Open the vCard area in QREasy’s QR code generators. Enter the contact details you want to embed, check the information and generate the basic contact QR in your browser. Because the vCard data is embedded in the code, the same image is intended to deliver the same details wherever it is scanned.
Share the resulting code through the channel that suits the interaction, such as a follow-up message, email signature or printed handout. Test it first with the phone and QR reader you expect recipients to use. A compatible camera or reader should let the recipient inspect the details and then decide whether to save them. Device and browser handling can vary, so confirm that your intended flow presents a clear review and save action.
There are two generation paths to keep in mind. The basic contact QR is created in the browser, while the process for generating a Wallet card processes data on QREasy servers. Whichever path you use, review the displayed details before sharing and do not rely on automatic saving, NFC tapping or contact identification.
Enter the details once, then check their spelling and formatting.
Test the code on the phone and reader recipients are likely to use.
Keep the original generated code available for the sharing channel you choose.
Scan this code with your phone camera to open the QREasy digital business card page.
How recipients review and save the contact details
When someone scans a static vCard QR, the QR reader or compatible phone camera reads the embedded contact data. The recipient can review what is shown and choose to save it. Nothing is added to the phone without that confirmation, and QREasy does not promise automatic contact saving, an NFC tap exchange, a CRM integration or automatic contact identification.
Explain the flow before sharing: scan, review, then save if the information is correct. If the phone asks for permission, the recipient still confirms the final step. For in-person exchanges, keep your own contact card ready so you can follow up after the recipient has decided what to save.
Scan with a compatible phone camera or QR reader.
Review the displayed details before making a decision.
Use the device’s save or add action if you want to keep the contact.
If the flow is unclear, test with another compatible reader.
Updating contact details and when a new QR is needed
A static vCard QR is like a small packaged record: the contact details are encoded inside it. If a phone number, email address, name or another embedded field changes, generate a new QR code and replace older copies you control. Reprinting or resending the original code does not update the information already embedded in it.
This rule applies to the separate contact-card QR, not to every QREasy contact-sharing interface. A website’s “Save Contact” section is a button that downloads or opens a vCard file using the details saved in that section. Editing and saving the section updates the file served by the website button, so a replacement static contact QR is not required for that method.
Likewise, a static URL QR contains a fixed address, but the content served at that address can change. QREasy-hosted small websites can show updated content at the same website address without requiring a new QR. Dynamic QRs use a managed redirect whose destination can change without reprinting, subject to plan limits. None of these approaches guarantees scanning on every device.
Embedded vCard details change: generate a replacement contact QR.
Website “Save Contact” details change: the served vCard file updates.
Hosted website content changes: keep the same website URL.
Contact Wallet cards versus website-linked Wallet cards
A contact Wallet card keeps the interaction focused on contact exchange. Its separate QR shares embedded contact data; it does not directly open a website. This makes it a practical Apple Wallet contact card for networking, sales conversations and repeat follow-ups where a name, phone number or email address is the useful next step.
A website-linked Wallet card is broader. Its QR encodes the website URL, and scanning opens that site in the phone browser rather than running it inside Wallet. Use website templates to build a small QREasy site with supported sections for text, images, services, contact details and links. Publishing updates keeps the same website address, which recipients can revisit.
Contact card: quick exchange of embedded contact data.
Website-linked card: a broader introduction through a mobile website.
Website QR: opens the address in the browser, with no mandatory card-review step first.

Frequently asked questions
No. A contact Wallet card and its QR are designed to share embedded contact details, not to open a website directly. If you want the QR to send recipients to a mobile website, choose a website-linked Wallet card instead. That option requires Lite SME or Business; the free plan includes the contact-card journey.
No automatic saving is promised. A recipient should scan with a compatible phone camera or QR reader, review the contact details and confirm the save or add action. Exact device and browser handling can vary, so test the QR with the phones and readers your audience uses.
It depends on the interface. A static vCard QR contains embedded details, so changing those details requires a new QR. Editing a website’s “Save Contact” section updates the vCard file served by that button without replacing a static contact QR. Updated hosted website content can remain at the same URL.
Yes. Contact Wallet cards and the first one-page website are included with free access. The free plan also includes one dynamic QR code, unlimited static QR codes and seven days of analytics history. Website-linked Wallet cards require Lite SME or Business.
