vCard: the digital business card with link and QR code
How many times has someone taken a photo of your business card and then never saved your number? With a 1li.ch vCard link, one tap or scan is all it takes: name, phone, email and address go straight into the contacts on the phone of whoever opens it.
What a digital business card is for
A vCard is a business card in digital format. On 1li.ch it becomes a link or a QR code: whoever opens it sees your details and saves them to their contacts without copying them by hand. No wrong numbers, no email addresses with one letter too many.
You can print the vCard QR code on the back of your paper business card, put it on the counter, on your van or in your email signature. Or send the link on WhatsApp after a meeting. If you want to give more than just your contact details, add the vCard as a block on your bio link page, next to your website, social media and bookings.
Three examples from Ticino
The plumber in the Mendrisiotto
On the van there’s a QR code with the words “save me to your contacts”. Customers scan it while waiting at the traffic lights, and the next time a tap leaks, they already have the number.
The physiotherapist in Bellinzona
At the first appointment she leaves a small card with the vCard QR code. Patients save the practice name, phone number and address in a moment, and to move an appointment they don’t have to look up the number on Google.
The farm at the Lugano market
On the Saturday stall there’s a sign with a QR code: people buying eggs and vegetables save the contact so they can order during the week. Every scan is a customer who comes back.

What is a vCard?
It's a digital business card: a file with your contact details that phones recognise and save to the address book with a single tap.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes, vCard is a standard format that both iPhone and Android open directly in the contacts app.
Does someone receiving my vCard need to install an app?
No, usually the phone's camera is all they need to scan the QR code.
Can I update my details after printing my business cards?
Yes: the QR code leads to the vCard link, so anyone who scans it after the change gets the updated details. People who had already saved the contact keep the previous version.
Can I put the vCard on my bio link page?
Yes, you can use the vCard as a standalone link or alongside the other links on your bio link page.
Create your page for free
The Free plan includes one bio link page, one short link and one QR code, with no end date. Paid plans come with a 14-day trial.
