A vCard (virtual business card) is your digital business card that you can share via QR code, NFC tag, or direct link. When someone scans your QR code or taps your NFC tag, they instantly access your contact information, social media links, portfolio, and more. You can also capture leads directly from your vCard.

Share your unique referral link with others, and when they sign up and make their first payment, you'll earn $19 in credit that's automatically applied to your next invoice.
