How to make a digital visiting card for free
Paper visiting cards get lost in wallets, run out at the worst moment, and go out of date the day your number changes. A digital visiting card fixes all three: it lives at one link and one QR code, it never runs out, and when you change a detail, everyone who has your link sees the new one.
What is a digital visiting card?
It's your visiting card as a small web page. Someone opens your link or scans your QR code, sees your name, work and contact details, and taps once to save you to their phone's contacts. They don't need an app: it opens in any phone's browser.
Because it's a link, you can share it anywhere: on WhatsApp, in your Instagram bio, in an email signature, or printed as a QR code on your shop counter.
What to put on it
Keep it short. A visiting card is for getting in touch, not your whole story.
- Your name, as customers know you.
- What you do: your title and your business, like "Child specialist, Little Ones Clinic".
- How to reach you: phone, WhatsApp and email. Add only the ones you actually answer.
- Where to find you: your shop or office address, with directions.
- Your website and social links, if you have them.
- A one-line tagline people will remember.

Every account also gets a permanent SAN (Social Account Number), so your card can always be found, even if you change your username later.
- 1Go to shoonay.ai and continue with Google. There's no password to remember.
- 2Pick your username, 8 to 12 letters. Your card will live at shoonay.ai/yourname/vc.
- 3Add your work: your title, business and contact details.
- 4Pick a design made for your kind of work, from doctors and dealers to salons, tutors and creators.
- 5Share it: send the link on WhatsApp, or download the QR code and print it.
How people save your card
- Save contact: one tap adds your name, number and business to their phone's contacts.
- QR code: they point their phone camera at it. No scanning app is needed.
- WhatsApp: they forward your link, and the preview shows your actual card.
- Status image: a picture of your card, front and back, sized for WhatsApp Status and Instagram Stories.
Keep your number private if you want
Each contact detail has its own setting. Everyone: anyone with your link sees it, no sign-in needed. Only me: it isn't shown on your card and is never sent to anyone else's phone. Your Google email stays hidden until you choose to show it.
Tips that get your card used
- Print the QR code for your counter, your car or your shop door.
- Put the link in your WhatsApp Business profile and your email signature.
- Add it to your Instagram bio, so followers can save your number in one tap.
- When something changes, update the card once. The link and QR code stay the same.
