# Business Card QR Code

> Create a digital business card QR code.

## What it's for

A business card page puts your contact details on a mobile-friendly profile: name, title, company, phone, email, address, and social links, plus a **Save Contact** button that adds you straight to the scanner's phone contacts. It's built for the same use case as a paper business card — handed out at a conference, printed on packaging, or added to an email signature — but the page stays editable after you print the code.

<Note>
  Like every category on this page, "Business Card QR code" isn't a separate creation route — it's the **Build a Page** flow filtered to business-card-tagged templates.
</Note>

<Warning>
  **Naming mismatch to be aware of:** the gallery's filter chip for this category is labeled **Business**, not "Business Card" — it groups all profile/contact-card templates (11 at verification time, both personal-profile and business-card styles). The **API**, however, exposes this same category as `24` labeled **Business Card** (see [Create QR Code](/v1/api-reference/endpoint/qr_manager/create)). There's also a distinct, separate **Simple VCard** quick code (`/qr/quick/simple-vcard`) — a no-landing-page, direct-to-contacts QR type reached from **Quick Code** on `/qr/create`, not from this page-builder gallery. That Quick Code type is out of scope for this page; if you want a full editable landing page with a Save Contact button, the gallery flow below is the one you want.
</Warning>

## Find a business-card template and reach the builder

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Create QR Code and choose Build a Page">
    From **QR Codes → Create QR Code** (`/qr/create`), click the **Build a Page** card to open the block-based page builder's template gallery.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Filter the gallery by Business">
    On **Choose a template** (`/qr/new`), click the **Business** tag. At verification time there were 11 templates, including **Pastel & Co.**, **Teal Professional**, **Navy Executive**, **Bold & Modern**, **Fresh Green**, **Dark Professional**, **Sky Blue**, **Minimal Dark**, **Acqua**, **Emerald Profile**, and **Corporate**.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Preview and select a template">
    Clicking a card opens a preview panel with the template's name, a short style description, its category tag, and a **Use this template** button. The **Corporate** template was used for verification here — described as "Dark navy business card — centered profile, full contacts and social links" and tagged **Business**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Land in the page builder">
    Selecting it opens the builder at `/qr/new/landing?template=bc-corporate`. This template ships with 3 blocks: **Profile Info**, **Contact Details**, and **Social Profiles** — all editable from the left-hand blocks panel. The canvas preview shows a name, pronouns, title, and company, contact rows for mobile/email/website, and a **Save Contact** button.

    </Frame>

    <Check>
      Reaching this canvas confirms the flow — you don't need to publish to verify it works. Edit the profile fields and contact details, then use **Publish** from the top bar when the page is ready.
    </Check>
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Creating one via the API

To create a business-card-style QR code through the API rather than the UI, use category ID `24` (labeled **Business Card**) — see [Create QR Code](/v1/api-reference/endpoint/qr_manager/create) for the full request schema and [Category List](/v1/api-reference/references/category-list) for the complete ID-to-label mapping.
