Choosing fields for a contact QR

Share the right contact channel

Use details intended for the audience. A work email may be appropriate for a business card, while a personal phone number may not be.

Keep the payload short

Every field adds data to the QR. A dense code needs a larger or cleaner printed area. Include information that is useful rather than filling every possible field.

Check the imported contact

Scanner apps may map vCard fields differently. Test the downloaded code on the devices you expect and confirm the name, telephone, email and website before printing a batch.

Try the workflow

For a business card, include your name, work email and work phone. Test importing the contact and check each field on the receiving device.
