Learn how to create a Klik VIP Vcard Link and Vcard QR Code step by step, when to use each, and how to share contact details online and offline.

Last updated: 11 September 2026

Klik VIP gives you two different ways to create a digital business card: a Vcard Link and a Vcard QR Code.

They can contain similar contact information, but they are not the same thing.

A Vcard Link gives you a shareable online contact page with its own URL. A Vcard QR Code lets somebody scan and access your contact details directly from the QR experience.

What Is a Digital Business Card?

A digital business card is an electronic way to share professional contact information without asking someone to manually type your phone number, email, website or company details.

It is useful for salespeople, consultants, coaches, property agents, exhibitors, corporate teams and anyone who regularly exchanges contact information.

Simple rule:

Use a Vcard Link when you want a reusable online digital business card that can be shared anywhere. Use a Vcard QR Code when scanning and saving contact information is the main action.

Workflow 1: How to Create a Vcard Link in Klik VIP

A Vcard Link gives you a dedicated online contact page with its own Klik VIP URL.

Step 1: Open Vcard Links

Log in to Klik VIP and select Vcard links from the dashboard menu. Create a new Vcard Link.

Step 2: Choose Your Short URL

Klik VIP lets you set the short URL for the Vcard Link.

For example:

klik.vip/sample-hani-wazir
Klik VIP Vcard Link settings showing short URL avatar first name last name email website and company fields
Vcard Link settings include a short URL, avatar and business contact information.

Step 3: Add Your Profile and Contact Details

The Vcard Link form allows you to add information such as:

  • Avatar
  • First name
  • Last name
  • Email
  • Website URL
  • Company
  • Job title
  • Birthday
  • Street address
  • City
  • ZIP
  • Region
  • Country
  • Notes

Only publish information that you are comfortable sharing publicly.

Add the business and location information relevant to your digital contact card.

Step 4: Add Phone Numbers and Social Profiles

Klik VIP also provides dedicated sections for Phone numbers and Socials.

This is useful when the digital business card needs to do more than show a single phone number.

Step 5: Configure Advanced Vcard Link Options

The Vcard Link workflow includes additional sections for:

  • Pixels
  • Temporary URL
  • Protection
  • SEO
  • Advanced settings

Vcard Links include additional marketing and control options beyond basic contact information.

Step 6: Update and Test the Vcard Link

Save the Vcard Link, open it from another device and check that:

  • The correct person and company details appear
  • Email and website links are correct
  • Phone numbers work
  • Social links open correctly
  • The page looks good on mobile

When Should You Use a Vcard Link?

A Vcard Link is especially useful when you want to share one online business identity in several places.

Because the contact information lives online, the same URL can be reused across different channels.

Workflow 2: How to Create a Vcard QR Code in Klik VIP

Klik VIP also has a dedicated Vcard option inside its QR Code creator.

This is a different workflow from creating a Vcard Link.

  • First name
  • Last name
  • Email
  • Website URL
  • Company
  • Job title
  • Birthday
  • Street address
  • City
  • ZIP
  • Region
  • Country
  • Note

You can also add Phone numbers and Socials.

Step 4: Customise the QR Code

This is one of the biggest strengths of Klik VIP's dedicated QR workflow.

You can customise:

  • Themes
  • Style
  • Colors
  • Frame
  • Branding

Klik VIP lets you customise the Vcard QR Code before printing or downloading it.

Step 5: Test the QR Code

Klik VIP itself reminds users to test the QR code with a scanner before using it in production.

That step is important because a QR code may eventually be printed on:

  • Business cards
  • Booth displays
  • Name tags
  • Posters
  • Presentation slides
  • Counter displays

Step 6: Print or Download

Once the QR code is ready, use the available Print or Download options.

Always test the actual downloaded or printed version before producing it in large quantities.

When Should You Use a Vcard QR Code?

Use the dedicated Vcard QR Code when the most important action is:

SCAN
↓
VIEW CONTACT DETAILS
↓
SAVE CONTACT

This makes it particularly useful for offline networking.

Which One Should You Use?

Choose Vcard Link If...

You want a permanent online contact page.

You want a shareable URL.

You want to send it through WhatsApp or email.

You want additional settings such as Pixels, SEO, Protection and Advanced options.

You want one contact page that can be used across several channels.

Choose Vcard QR Code If...

Your main goal is scan-to-contact sharing.

You are printing business cards, booth materials or name tags.

You want QR-specific design controls.

You want Print and Download options directly from the QR creator.

You need a quick offline networking tool.

Can You Use Both?

Yes β€” and for many businesses, that is the strongest setup.

The two tools do not have to compete.

The Vcard Link handles online sharing. The Vcard QR Code handles scan-based contact sharing.

Where Can You Use Them?

Printed Business Card

Add a Vcard QR Code with a clear call to action:

Scan to Save My Contact

Exhibition Booth

Display a larger QR code so visitors can connect without taking a paper brochure or card.

Name Tag or Lanyard

Turn your name tag into a networking tool.

Presentation Slide

Your final slide can say:

Let's Stay Connected

Scan to Save My Contact

WhatsApp or Email

For online sharing, send the Vcard Link directly rather than forcing the recipient to scan a QR code displayed on the same phone.

Vcard Link vs Bio Link

A Vcard Link is mainly about your professional identity and contact information.

A Bio Link is designed to organise multiple destinations and actions such as:

  • WhatsApp
  • Website
  • Shop
  • Booking
  • Promotions
  • Social media

Digital Business Card Best Practices

  1. Use business contact details. Avoid publishing personal information unnecessarily.
  2. Keep the information current. Check phone numbers, email, website and company information regularly.
  3. Use a clear QR call to action. β€œScan to Save My Contact” is much better than only β€œScan Me”.
  4. Test before printing. Scan the final QR from the actual size and distance you plan to use.
  5. Use the right workflow. A Vcard Link is better for online sharing; a Vcard QR Code is ideal for scan-based offline use.

Final Verdict

Klik VIP gives you two useful ways to share your professional contact information.

Use a Vcard Link when you want a reusable online digital business card with its own shareable URL and additional settings.

Use a Vcard QR Code when your main goal is fast scan-to-contact sharing on business cards, booths, name tags, posters or presentation slides.

And for a complete digital business-card strategy, use both: one for online sharing and one for offline scanning.
