Simply open your Wallet card and let someone scan your QR code. Your Tapzo digital business card profile then opens on their phone, where they can view your details, save you to their contacts, visit your links, and even send their details back to you.

What is an Apple Wallet or Google Wallet card?
An Apple Wallet or Google Wallet card is a digital pass saved to your phone’s Wallet app. With Tapzo, this Wallet card contains a QR code linked to your digital business card profile.
The Wallet card itself is not your digital business card.

Apple / Google Wallet cards vs NFC cards
Wallet cards and NFC cards both help you share your digital business card, but they work differently.
A Wallet card is saved to your phone.
An NFC card is a physical card that opens your profile when tapped on a compatible phone.
The best setup is often both. Use your Wallet card as your always-available digital sharing method and an NFC card when you want a physical, premium tap-to-share experience.
Both open the same Tapzo digital business card profile.
