FAQ Help Center
Digital Business Card, QR Code, Menu, Review and Payment FAQ
Use this help center to understand how Contact Portfolio works before you create a digital business card, QR code business card, vCard QR code, QR code menu, Google review QR code, PayPal payment QR code, business profile page or printable QR code sign. The goal is to help you choose the right workflow, avoid duplicate tools and turn every scan into a useful customer action.
Start with the page type, then choose the QR destination
A digital business card is best when your primary goal is sharing contact information. A business profile page is better when you need a mobile mini website for services, reviews, payment links, maps and forms. A QR code menu is best for restaurants and cafes. A printable QR code sign is best when the scan begins offline from a table, poster, counter, flyer, package or business card.

Digital business card and vCard QR questions
This section covers digital business cards, online business cards, virtual business cards, QR code business cards, vCard QR codes, paperless business cards and save contact QR code workflows.
What is a digital business card in Contact Portfolio?
A digital business card is a mobile page that presents your contact details, photo or logo, social links, website, WhatsApp, email, phone number, location, services and calls-to-action. Instead of handing out a paper-only card, you can share one link or QR code that opens a live contact page. If you edit your phone number, title, services or social links later, the online page can be updated without reprinting every card.
How is a vCard QR code different from a digital business card?
A vCard QR code is focused on saving contact details quickly. A digital business card is broader: it can include a profile, links, services, gallery, map, forms, review links and payment links. Many users combine both: the page works as the branded destination, while a save contact button or vCard QR experience helps visitors store the contact on their phone.
Can I use a QR code business card with printed cards?
Yes. You can create a QR code business card by placing your Contact Portfolio QR code on a printed card design. The printed card can stay simple, while the scan opens the current online page. This is useful because names, roles, offers, review links, portfolios and contact options often change faster than printed inventory.
Business QR code and smart QR questions
Use business QR codes to connect offline attention to online action. A QR code can open a business profile page, website, Google Maps listing, review page, PayPal payment link, contact form, menu, social page or downloadable portfolio.
What can I create with a business QR code?
You can create QR codes for contact information, brand pages, landing pages, restaurant menus, Google review requests, Google Maps directions, PayPal payment links, donation links, scan to pay signs, forms, portfolios, social profiles and external websites. The best QR code destination depends on what the customer needs immediately after scanning.
Should I use one QR code for everything or separate QR codes?
Use one primary QR code when you want a general business profile page. Use separate QR codes when the context is specific: a table sign should open a QR menu, a receipt insert should request a review, a payment sign should open a payment link and a business card should open a contact page. Context-specific QR codes usually convert better because the scan promise is clear.
Can a QR code destination be updated after printing?
In Contact Portfolio, the most flexible workflow is to print a QR code that points to a page you can update. This helps when your menu, services, contact information, PayPal link, review call-to-action or campaign content changes after printing. You should still test the QR code before mass production and after every major edit.
Google review, PayPal and payment QR questions
Review and payment QR codes are commercial workflows. They help local businesses get more feedback, help service providers collect payments and help nonprofit or creator pages accept donations.
Can I create a Google review QR code?
Yes. A Google review QR code can send customers to a review link or a page that explains the review request before sending them to Google. This is useful for review us signs, receipts, table tents, packaging inserts and post-service follow-up cards. The best results usually come from placing the review QR code where satisfied customers naturally finish the experience.
Can I create a PayPal QR code or payment QR link?
Yes. You can connect PayPal or another payment link as a QR destination. A scan to pay sign can be placed on a counter, table, invoice, event booth, donation box, tip jar or service receipt. Always test the payment destination and make the recipient name clear so customers know who they are paying.
Printable QR designs, NFC alternatives and digital delivery
Contact Portfolio is digital-first. The platform helps you create pages, QR destinations and print-ready assets. It does not require NFC hardware, card shipping or bundled printing services.
Do you sell NFC cards or printed products?
No. Contact Portfolio does not sell physical NFC cards, printed cards, table stands, stickers, posters or shipping services as the default product. You can download QR codes and printable designs, then print them with your preferred local or online printer. This keeps the workflow faster, more flexible and easier to update.
What printable QR code assets can I use?
You can create printable QR code signs, QR code poster templates, business card QR code templates, review us QR signs, scan to pay signs, QR menu signs and other downloadable assets. Before printing in volume, always test the QR code at the final size, distance, lighting and material.
Pricing, security and account questions
Start free when you need a simple digital business card. Upgrade when you need more brands, more QR destinations, printable assets, analytics, menu pages, payment links or team workflows.
Is there a free digital business card plan?
Yes. The free plan is designed for users who want to publish a simple digital business card and test the platform before upgrading. Paid plans are better when you need more QR workflows, advanced customization, printable QR signs, analytics, forms, multiple pages or business campaigns.
How is my data protected?
Contact Portfolio uses reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect account data, brand pages, QR records, forms and analytics. Public brand pages are designed to be shared, so you should only publish information that you want visitors to see. Sensitive payment details are handled by the relevant payment provider rather than stored directly in the platform.
Still choosing the right QR workflow?
Start with a free digital business card, then add QR menus, payment QR codes, review QR signs or business profile pages when you need them.
